LONDON, 10 November 2022: Türkiye’s first independent carbon-neutral hotel group, The Stay, continues its tradition of supporting the arts with its first digital art exhibition at The Stay Boulevard Nisantasi which launches today, while the hotel’s new spa is also set to open this month.
Digital art exhibition showcased in partnership with Blackdove
The Stay Boulevard Nisantasi is hosting its first art exhibition this month in collaboration with Blackdove, a digital art platform featuring an expanding collection of cutting-edge works by global, innovative artists. The exhibition will be open to both hotel guests and non-guests from 10 November until the end of January 2023, from 11am until 7pm daily (except Mondays). The exhibition will be shown in the hotel’s Gallery area on the lobby floor and will showcase works by local and international digital artists such as Selay Karasu, Kaya Hocaoglu, Ozan Ozcelik, Ecem Dilan Köse, Lukas Bruhn and Maxim Zhestkov.
The Culture of Wellness
Opening this month, a new spa spanning an entire floor will offer guests an indoor swimming pool, hot tub and gym. Guests can also indulge in a wide selection of spa treatments in nine rooms, including one especially for couples, from hot stone therapy and Balinese massage to hammam and massage combined in one blissful session.
From January, guests will be able to dine at Marcello, an Italian restaurant designed by the internationally renowned, Istanbul-based design studio Autoban. Rich marble and wooden panels will combine with terracotta to create an authentic Italian feel helped by two notable Italian chefs. Local and international artwork will add to the charm. A Biophilic roof garden will enhance the Mediterranean feel, providing a surprisingly soothing and green space in an urban setting.
