Tuesday, we took a grand tour of Kimpton's Eventi Hotel in North Chelsea with Director of Sales and Marketing, Shannon Spillett, and artist Barbara Nessim, whom Kimpton Hotels commissioned to produce a collection of art for the property. Photographer Karl Rudisill was nice enough to join us, and snapped these exclusive photos of the property for Word of Mouth. Want to check out Barbara's 28-foot digital print on brushed aluminum and the interior architecture of designer Colum McCartan in person? You can snag 15 percent off the going rate if you book by May 31.
