Andaz Launches Crafting New Perspectives, A Global Series

Publisher — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 22:32:50 +0000

The Andaz brand unveils Crafting New Perspectives, a global celebration of artistry and place. The series transforms Andaz properties into immersive cultural destinations through original, site-specific installations by emerging and established local artists.

Rooted in Andaz’s philosophy of honoring the distinct spirit of each destination, the series, developed in collaboration with Roadbook, invites artists to reimagine the emotional and sensory essence of their cities, translating landscape, culture, and atmosphere into visual form. Each installation becomes a dialogue between artist and environment, extending beyond the gallery to engage guests and locals alike.

To honor the exhibition, each chosen artist will host an intimate dinner at the property. Guests from across the fields of art, fashion, and music will come together for a spirited evening of conversation and connection. The decor and menu will draw inspiration from both each city’s natural landscape and artist’s aesthetic.

“At its heart, Andaz hotels are about connection between people, places, and the cultures that surround them. Crafting New Perspectives invites us to see the world through the eyes of creative minds who bring local stories to life, reminding us that inspiration is everywhere. We just have to be curious enough to see it.” Says Amar Lalvani, President and Creative Director, The Lifestyle Group, Hyatt.

Following the dinner, the exhibition will then be displayed at the property for four weeks.

Crafting New Perspectives will be debuting this Fall at the following properties:

● Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalow (11th November until 8th December 2025): Ceramist Rika Kova, whose sculptural work capturing the raw textures and meditative tones of the Sonoran Desert

● Andaz Savannah (18th November until 15th December 2025): Trish Andersen [DM4] will transform the property with her tactile, color-rich expressions inspired by the city’s natural rhythms

● Andaz Bangkok (11th February until 11th March 2026): Collage artist Nakrob Moonmanas [DM5] fuses heritage and modernity in a vibrant visual narrative that mirrors the city’s dynamic contrasts.

● Andaz Lisbon (Spring 2026)

More than an exhibition series, Crafting New Perspectives redefines how hospitality can nurture and showcase creativity. Each Andaz property serves as a living canvas, where art doesn’t just hang on walls but lives in the heart of the experience.

Through these installations, Andaz hotels continue to shape a new model for culturally rooted travel, one that celebrates and supports local creative talent, and invites guests to see the world through a fresh, imaginative lens.
