In situ is a Latin phrase that means locally. Contemporary art, in situ refers to an artistic method or a work that takes into account the place where it is installed. One of the hotel's principal projects is to propose itself as a showcase to contemporary artist, some of whom can integrate and harmonise their ideas into the hotel's very fabric. Intentionally extending the time taken for the renaissance of the building and its architecture, this project will be open-ended, offering each artist the opportunity to express himself, make his mark, and see his emotions made reality.
