Eaton Fine Art (EFA), a full-service art consultancy firm, is proud to debut its art collection for Hilton West Palm Beach’s Galley restaurants and luxury suites. In collaboration with Related Ross, The Cardy Group, Hilton Hotels & Resorts®, and interior design firm Meyer Davis, Eaton Fine Art curated a collection that draws inspiration from the rich scenery of West Palm Beach’s tropical oasis.
Centrally located in downtown West Palm Beach, Hilton West Palm Beach underwent a $25-million renovation, which included refreshed guest rooms and suites and enhanced dining destinations. The 400-room property is located adjacent to CityPlace shopping and dining, two miles from the Palm Beach waterfront, and directly connected to the Palm Beach County Convention Center via a covered walkway.
“For this resort-style hotel, our team collaborated closely with Flordian-based artists and other creatives from underrepresented demographics to curate an art collection that delivers vibrant and casual sophistication for guests and locals alike,” said Meredith Burwell, Director of Projects at Eaton Fine Art. “The collection has been thoughtfully curated to honor not only the natural beauty and landscapes of the region but also to celebrate the diversity and sophistication of its inhabitants.”
The Galley restaurant’s art collection presents a vibrant and diverse array of works, including prints by renowned artists like Ellsworth Kelly and Alexander Calder, alongside pieces by local creators. The collection features black-and-white beach photography, flora-inspired designs, figurative paintings, wildlife imagery, portraiture, and ocean wave drawings. Minimal abstract paintings evoke the unique ambiance of West Palm Beach, while the collection’s botanical and women-of-color photography blends tropical elements with beach settings.
This thoughtfully curated mix of photography and representational art creates a sophisticated, yet deeply human connection. In the Mediterranean-inspired Mezze, Eaton Fine Art collaborated with Volodymyr Kovalchuk to infuse the space with the energy and excitement of West Palm Beach through two custom, on-site murals, adding bright and dynamic elements to the experience.
The hotel’s 43 suites feature a diverse art collection that captures the spirit of West Palm Beach through various media and styles. This includes mixed media collages, relief prints, color study paintings, intricate line paintings, cyanotypes, and dimensional paper art, all resonating with the ocean, lush plant life, and the region's culture. Each piece captures the richness of the area's vegetation and coastal landscape, offering guests a visually engaging experience that is minimal, lively, and refined, celebrating the natural beauty and cultural sensibilities of the area.
“The artistry throughout the suites pays homage to ocean waves, life beneath the water's surface, and nautical themes, culminating in a thoughtfully curated collection that combines abstract lines and shapes with the essence of West Palm Beach’s natural beauty and cultural nuances,” said Burwell. “The result is a harmonious blend of minimalism, vibrancy, and refinement.”
