Fine Luxury Meets Fine Art At The Kitano Hotel New York
The culture of the Kitano Hotel New York goes far beyond Japanese tradition and hospitality. Since its opening, the hotel has upheld a formidable tradition of patronizing the fine arts by continuously seeking new and rare opportunities to showcase art, music, and culture. As part of this initiative, The Kitano Hotel New York features a rotating repertoire of gallery pieces throughout the hotel's lobby and mezzanine, including permanent fixtures such as the notable bronze sculpture titled "Dog" by the world-famous sculptor Fernando Botero. "Dog" stands sentry at the base of the stairs leading to the Mezzanine and greets guests as the first of an impressive, museum-quality collection of art.Explore the Japanese Culture in Hakubai
