Gwen’s Favorite Things

Gwen’s Favorite Things is our way of bringing the year to life at The Gwen. We don’t just host experiences, we stage moments. Inspired by Gwen Lux’s mastery of form, light, and movement, the year unfolds as a narrative shaped by the seasons, the city, and the ways people come together. Each chapter celebrates a different feeling, a different rhythm, and a different way to experience the hotel.

Moments Made with Love

From January through March, we’re celebrating our first chapter: Moments Made with Love – a season of connection, spirited gatherings, shared flavors, and the kind of moments that make every celebration feel unforgettable.
