Art House and The Marylebone Hotel
The hotel is proud to announce an exclusive new
exhibition, bringing world-class modern art direct to hotel guests
and visitors, in association with the locally-based and
internationally acclaimed Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery.
Launching on 8th February 2012, fashion
designer turned artist Karen Nicol has created 10 exclusive new
works of art, to be displayed at The Marylebone Hotel. Created from
mixed materials and including traditional and experimental textile
techniques, Karen’s huge animal artworks are proving popular with
collectors and art enthusiasts around the
world.
AND ALL FOR FREE!!
The exhibition and partnership with the
Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery follows our tradition of working with
local businesses to celebrate and support Marylebone’s ‘village’
spirit. Produce for the hotel’s ONE08 restaurant is sourced from
butchers and shops on Marylebone High Street, and the hotel creates
bespoke walking tours of local attractions for guests.
