The new Residence Inn by Marriott Hotel officially opened its doors this week. Located above the Grove PATH station at 80 Columbus, the 152-suite hotel offers a wide range of perks from fully-equipped kitchens to on-site laundry.
The hotel also features over 240 works of art by local artists, many of whom are Jersey City residents. The collection of paintings, sculptures, and limited edition prints was curated by Stefania Panepinto of Panepinto Fine Art with the intention of enhancing the hotel’s suites and public amenity spaces.
“I’ve always loved collaborations and value working alongside designers to develop a rich vision,” said Panepinto via press release. “Communicating that message to the artists while supporting them as they create the works ultimately transforms the space into a dynamic environment for everyone who enters.”
The hotel includes the works of Peter Fox, Glenn Garver, Candy Le Seuer, Jaime Orr, Angela Costanzo Paris, Anne Sherwood Pundyk, and Ryan Roa.
The hotel celebrated its official ribbon cutting earlier this week with Mayor Steven Fulop and Sen. Robert Menendez.
