2019 marks InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts 200th property with the launch of InterContinental® Shanghai Wonderland.
As part of the celebrations, InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts partnered with London-based contemporary artist Alexander Hall to create an inspired masterpiece of 200 hand-painted champagne bottles. Suspended together in a stunning oeuvre to reveal the number ‘200’, each champagne bottle is designed to reflect each InterContinental® property’s unique personality, design and location.
InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts partnered with London-based contemporary artist Alexander Hall, also known as Haut de Gamme, to create a stunning art installation to commemorate 200 InterContinental hotels and resorts around the world.
The art installation is made from 200 champagne bottles individually hand-painted by Alexander Hall in his bright and energetic drip-style. The artwork on each bottle is unique with the design of each one inspired by the InterContinental brand’s 200 hotels, including the upcoming opening of InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland. The finished bottles are suspended together in a stunning oeuvre to reveal the number "200".
"Champagne for me means happiness, joy, celebration and the idea of bringing people together. That’s why I decided to paint on champagne bottles to celebrate the 200 InterContinental hotels. I wanted the bottles to reflect each InterContinental hotel’s unique personality, design and location, as well as the legacy and pioneering spirit of the founder, Juan Trippe."
Alexander Hall's installation will be displayed at several InterContinental hotels around the world over the course of the next few months. In addition, the artist will also be creating a bespoke Haut de Gamme painting to commemorate the milestone with a number of limited edition prints.
