Description
Summary:21c Museum Hotel St. Louis Turkish-American conceptual artist Serkan Özkaya's O, a large-scale plexiglass orb filled with nearly 1,900 gallons of distilled water, catches the eye in the lobby of the 21c Museum Hotel St. Louis. The transformative power of contemporary art underpins the hotel brand, part of Accor's Ennismore portfolio, and it's on full display at the 173-key St. Louis outpost, a redo of a Renaissance Revival-style YMCA building from 1926. Enticing guests into these ever-changing exhibition spaces one level up from the lobby is The Way Out West, a standout staircase from the duo Fallen Fruit pairing a custom wallcovering and stair runner with found objects that delineate St. Louis history.
