8 Lobby a nd Garden The garden became a very unique and important element of the hotel for me. I envisioned this space, specifically as a guest in Times Square, as offering an escape from the bombardment and frenzy of New York City. Jeffrey Beers As you enter the hotel, the lobby sets the tone as a quiet haven of calm amidst the hustle of the busy city. The design was inspired by allusions to nature which are evident in the marble, stone, wood, and textures throughout the hotel. The reception desk of golden veined marble, is faced by luminescent frosted glass, and radiates like a sunset over the lobby. Serving as a backdrop to the reception desk is an open courtyard featuring a reflecting pool with natural greenery, artwork, and glimmering tree sculptures.
