New York’s Christo and Jeanne-Claude

Travelers looking for charm in detail and atmosphere will like the small hotels New York offers. Our hotels have the same sense of luxury and comfort as the larger hotels, but with those added differences that make them truly unique. Like the neighborhoods in New York City, each with their own local touches that make them home to the residents, the small hotel has personal touches that make for a wonderful experience in lodging. There are also well-informed staff who can help a guest find their way around the city, choosing their sight-seeing with care and attention. Relaxation and rejuvenation of the mind and body are a priority here, so that one can really enjoy the city with the spirit refreshed.

The city is everything in the world, all at once, in one place. It is considered by many to be the world’s greatest city, and there is no doubt that it is one of the most exciting on earth. It has attracted some of the world’s most daring and innovative artists and thinkers for generations. There are thousands of galleries and public art can be seen everywhere. Some of the most visible public art the city, and the world, has ever seen, is the work of Christo and Jeanne Claude. This famous art couple were born in the same hour, and on the same day, like true Geminis, in 1935. He is from Bulgaria, and she is from Morocco, and in 1964 they made New York their permanent home.

Their work has attracted attention largely because of its grand scale. They’ve created a stunning number of stunning works, having surrounded islands in plastic, constructing thousands of 6-meter long umbrellas in Japan and in California, and wrapping 178 trees to the northeast of Basel. For New Yorkers, perhaps their most iconic and familiar work is The Gates in Central Park. When the park was originally designed, the intention was to have gates that would lock at night. This was never realized. As an homage to New York City, and as an artistic gift to the people of New York, they constructed 7,503 gates with free-hanging saffron panels that attached, creating a splendid visual effect. For these projects, the funding comes from sale of their previous works, as well as drawings and plans for the projects in progress, and they never accept donations.
