Hello Spring ’16’ Unveil
On March 4, 2015, we unveiled a new light installation by Bocci in our main hotel entrance. Beginning with a spring fashion show curated by luxury retailer Holt Renfrew, and followed by an appearance from the artist Omer Arbel, the evening was capped off with a dramatic reveal of the artwork titled ’16’.
