Art Pops At The Park

Dubai, UAE, 18 November, 2014 Park Hyatt Dubai and XVA Gallery take you on an extraordinary journey of art and design at the new exhibition “Art Pops at The Park”. The pieces are displayed throughout the hotel in various public spaces and suites.

One of the pillars of the Park Hyatt brand is to support art and design and so have collaborated with XVA Gallery to showcase stunning pieces of contemporary art from the region.

“At The Park we are true masters of details,” says General Manager Adrian Slater, “from the moment a guest arrives, they revel in a harmony of thoughtfully considered and artfully curated details. From architecture and design to textures and tastes every nuance is dutifully attended to. We felt these art pieces “Pop” out from the Moorish style of the hotel adding a complement to the existing design.”
