Eaton Fine Art, a full-service, Austin-based art consultancy firm, proudly announces its latest curation for InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk, an IHG Hotel, in collaboration with full-service architecture, planning, and interior design firm Leo A. Daly and procurement firm PMI to curate an art collection that enhances the hotel’s sophisticated aesthetic.
Located along the scenic banks of the San Antonio River Walk, this 390-room hotel seamlessly blends mid-century modern influences with the organic textures and materials reflective of the city’s cultural and architectural history. The design narrative, led by Leo A. Daly, pays tribute to Hollywood icon and San Antonio native Joan Crawford, drawing inspiration from the glamour of the 1920s and the elegance of mid-century design.
Eaton Fine Art curated an art collection that reinterprets the era’s lifestyle, architecture, and aesthetics through a contemporary lens. The collection showcases a diverse range of mediums, including photography, ink drawings, paintings, and digital art. Eaton Fine Art carefully selected artists from across the United States and beyond to ensure a dynamic and eclectic representation of artistic voices, resulting in an installation that enhances the hotel’s elegant ambiance and complements its design narrative.
“Our goal was to curate an art collection that complements the hotel’s stunning interiors and also tells a compelling story,” said Meredith Burwell, Director of Projects at Eaton Fine Art. “By curating pieces that evoke the elegance and intrigue of the early 20th century, we’ve created an atmosphere that immerses guests in a world of refined luxury and timeless glamour.”
In the guest rooms, bold abstract geometric pieces with earthy tones and structured shapes add a modern touch while maintaining a connection to the past. This carefully curated collection enriches the interiors with depth, character, and a refined contemporary aesthetic.
“InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk is a true reflection of the city’s vibrant culture and deep-rooted heritage," said Stefan Gruvberger, General Manager. "With its luxurious accommodations and world-class amenities, the hotel provides the perfect retreat for locals and an unforgettable experience for visitors eager to immerse themselves in all that San Antonio has to offer."
