The hotel exhibits a rotating installation of works in the public spaces. On June 1st, the in-person, curator-led art tours at the hotel return on the first Wednesday of the month. Summer dates June 1, July 6, and August 3.
A short walk from the hotel is the Rollins Museum of Art, which is exhibiting From Chaos to Order: Greek Geometric Art from the Sol Rabin Collection and Recent Acquisitions.
