The St Regis hotel in Venice is one of the most famous in the world – Claude Monet and JMW Turner are among its illustrious former guests, and it looks out over some of the city’s best landmarks. Now renowned for its focus on contemporary art and design, after a recent refurbishment inspired by local modernist Carlo Scarpa, its collection includes a Murano glass chandelier created by Ai Wei Wei as a tribute to Venice’s 1,600-year history. In this episode of Art Thinking, Patrizia Hofer, former general manager of St Regis Venice, tells Vadim Grigoryan about these collaborations, and working with experts and a curator to develop the brand’s vision.
