I’ve never collaborated with a hotel, yet West Hotel’s ethos, along with its rich colour tones with touches of sapphire and use of premium materials like jade-coloured marble – it captured me from the get-go. West Hotel evokes a feeling of pure escapism, and there was a natural synergy that I wanted to re-create in my illustrations,” said Aaron Favaloro.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”66441″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Jane Lyons, General Manager of West Hotel, continued, “the Aaron Favaloro x West Hotel collaboration is an exciting one. As Australia’s first Curio Collection property, our hotel offers a chic, bespoke design, and is an attractive option for guests that are looking for a style-conscious stay rather than a run of the mill Sydney hotel experience; Aaron’s illustrations portray that kindred energy – fun, fresh and full of panache.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”66445″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]To further complement the ‘artist in residence’ collaboration, West Hotel’s Solander Dining and Bar will offer two limited edition cocktails throughout July and August, ‘The Clutch’ and ‘The Messenger’.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjI1MDAlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGNFk3dEVTcU1zSEklM0Zjb250cm9scyUzRDAlMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]West Hotel launched its Meet the Creatives last year, with the first event a collaboration with artists Weave Dibden-Neck of the By Weave label, and Eight Eight store, who created ‘his and hers’ designer fashion pieces for guests.
