Canopy by Hilton debuts in Jersey City’s thriving arts district neighborhood. This is the lifestyle hotel brand’s first location in the Greater New York City area. Jersey City is an up and coming creative neighborhood and the hotel will be the area’s first elevated hub. Canopy by Hilton will be owned and developed by Panepinto Properties, The KABR Group, Three Wall Capital and Greentree Construction.
“We look forward to introducing the Canopy by Hilton lifestyle to the Tri-State and immersing locals and guests in the culture of this burgeoning neighborhood of the Arts District,” said Ravi Dave, Principal at Three Wall Capital. “We’re proud to finally deliver a hospitality product that speaks to the neighborhood’s urban sophistication and cultural diversity.”
The hotel will feature a rotating art collection that is instilled throughout Canopy Central. The hotel will also launch the Canopy Central Art Studios to give three local artists a place to work allowing guests to witness their creative process and work in real-time. There will be three distinctive areas for these painting studios at the center of a seating area for a café. Rooms will also feature limited edition silkscreen prints by Gary Lichtenstein inspired by the Dixon Mills Pencil Factory, and hallways will be decorated with original works by Candy Le Sueur and Tatsuro Nishimura.
“As one of the most culturally diverse cities in the nation, Jersey City has an exciting and vibrant art scene that grows stronger and larger each year. We wanted to make sure our guests were able to see and feel the energy of the neighborhood through our eclectic arts program,” said Art Curator Stefania Panepinto. “We are extremely proud of the art on display at the hotel. Not only are the pieces created by locals but they each tell the story of Jersey City in their own unique manner.”
Canopy by Hilton will feature 211 rooms and vast common spaces and amenities. The hotel is located at 159 Morgan Street in close proximity to the PATH Tran station that leads to downtown Manhattan in under 10 minutes.
