THE RITZ-CARLTON, BANGALORE

Showcasing an aesthetical line-up of art with over 1,250 art pieces throughout the property, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore, features the work of artists such as the master of life-size figurative Robert St. Croix, the renowned sculptor Alexandra Gestin, the legendary Cuban sculptor Manuel Carbonell, the hotel’s home-bound landscape artist Paresh Maity, and the celebrated Indian abstract painter Revati Sharma Singh. Vikas Sharma, Director of Operations, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore, says, “Bringing art out of galleries and into hotel spaces helps us reach a wider audience. In turn, it also adds that special something to our guests’ viewing pleasures and enhances their stay experience with us. Surrounded by beauty, one automatically feels transported into a different place in time. It adds a certain appeal to the hotel interiors, and helps our staff in their storytelling during guest interaction.” The hotel staff takes guests on an art appreciation tour in the hotel on request. His personal favourite is the sculpture of Pablo Picasso sitting on the porch welcoming the guests.
