Brooklyn Artists Takeover The Nu Hotel!

Nothing like a hotel that usually houses travelers, supporting their own locals.

When you check into a Nu Hotel guest room you can be sure you’re experiencing the beauty of Brooklyn. The hotel based in Downtown Brooklyn on 85 Smith Street has renovated a number of rooms to feature a locally-inspired mural painted by a Brooklyn artist. The hotel has a total of 15 guestrooms outfitted in NU Perspectives, a program which brings local Brooklyn artists into the guestrooms and allows them to use the walls as their canvas.

“What started as a side project has really transformed the character and personality of our guestrooms,” said Independent Collection Area General Manager Javier Egipciaco. “It’s an honor to showcase the unique work of such talented local artists at NU Hotel Brooklyn and such a tangible way to bring both the neighborhood and local art into our rooms.”

The 93-room boutique hotel began the NU Perspectives Project in 2012 when three local artists were invited to use the guestroom walls as their canvas to paint floor to ceiling murals. From there an overwhelming number of artists have contacted the hotel, with their eye on creating a room of their own. To date the Nu Hotel has recently renovated hotel a total of 15 guestrooms displaying full walls of original works of art by Brooklyn’s own.
