18 Art Installations Yield a Strong Sense of Place

Pendry Park City, Utah

The details: Tasked with putting a fresh spin on alpine accommodations for the Pendry Park City, Los Angeles- and New York-based KES Studio worked in tandem with DAC Art Consulting, which commissioned six artists for various works found throughout the hotel. “We love the idea of an alpine lodge, but with modern design and bold, engaging art,” says Michael Fuerstman, cofounder and creative director of Pendry Hotels. Take the pieces in the lobby by featured artist Simon Beck, who stamps intricate patterns into the landscape with his feet. The geometric theme continues in the 152 guestrooms, where minimalist triptychs with textured shapes hang over the beds. “Each piece was curated to emphasize the environment, location, culture, and lifestyle of Park City,” says DAC’s Darby Burgess.
