Sep 28, 2014The James Chicago
During my two-night stay at The James Chicago, I was taken with the luggage art installation by Joel Ross every time I strolled through the lobby. In a motel between Texas and Chicago, the artist paid for a one-night stay and brought in 50 vintage suitcases, dismantling the entire room from bedsprings to light bulbs. The suitcases, filled with the motel room contents, are now the focal point that drew me in every time. Art is showcased throughout the hotel. I always love when hotels feature quirky art; it’s like a free, unexpected museum trip.
