InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has collaborated with acclaimed British artist Claire Luxton to unveil a series of fully immersive experiences at three InterCon properties.

Bookable now through to mid-July at InterContinental London Park Lane, InterContinental New York Barclay and InterContinental Dubai Festival City. the experiences celebrate the joy of worldliness and the beauty of global travel as told through a Claire Luxton lens.

The Claire Luxton Experience at InterContinental Dubai Festival City heroes a limited-edition suite which has been designed and curated by the artist and depicts her interpretation of InterContinental Hotels & Resorts. Taking cues from her personal travels and inspirations, Luxton brings the brand to life through the natural flora and fauna signature to her artwork in combination with an array of sensory experiences, including a drawn bath and soundscape. Every detail and room accent across the suite has been transformed to reflect the artist’s style with features including bespoke artwork, lighting and soft furnishings, that represent InterContinental hotels in Japan and Southeast Asia, respectively.

A drawn bath experience with a curated soundscape, aromas and florals enhances the stay for guests. Additional discoveries in the suite include a special playlist and coffee table books reflecting Luxton’s travels. Guests booking the suite at the InterContinental Dubai Festival City will also be offered a massage for two in the hotel’s luxury spa.

Luxton has brought her touch to other areas of the hotels too. Lobbies will be transformed with butterflies and vibrant floral installations that pay homage to distinctive InterContinental locales around the world. At InterContinental New York Barclay and Dubai Festival City, Claire Luxton-inspired food and beverage offerings will be available, including a selection of cocktails, mocktails and afternoon tea; while specially curated uniform accessories will adorn hotel staff, with team members wearing floral silk scarves and pocket squares featuring the Indian Peafowl – a nod to InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort.

“I’m thrilled to partner with InterContinental Hotels & Resorts again, interpreting the brand’s story of worldliness,” says Luxton. “Global travel inspires my work, and I hope it shines through in every detail of the collaboration, from the foyer florals and the hotel team’s custom scarves to the drawn bath experience and the artworks themselves. Each flower and animal within my work for InterContinental reflects a hotel or resort from its past, present or future. In curating the design of these suites and experiences, I sought to explore the delicate equilibrium between humans and nature while celebrating the magic of wanderlust.”

The Claire Luxton Experience will be available at InterContinental Dubai Festival City from now until 21 July 2022.
