The hotel mastered the art of bringing new life to pieces thrown away. The brand sends someone to local thrift stores and flea markets to pull unique pieces like vintage Nikes and repurposed basketball bleachers. These salvaged objects provide connections from each region to the hotels’ designs, as well as highlight the location’s history and culture. Most of the time, these objects are things that you wouldn’t expect to see in a normal hotel.
