Experience the extraordinary with Nightwatch, a sleep-in, site-specific art installation by acclaimed artist Chris Doyle, curated by 21c Museum Director and Chief Curator Alice Gray Stites. Available exclusively at 21c Museum Hotels in Cincinnati, Bentonville, and Lexington, Nightwatch redefines the hotel stay, transforming a guest suite into a mesmerizing, multi-sensory work of art.
By day, the space immerses guests in an enchanting, forest-inspired dreamscape. Custom-designed wall coverings, carpets, and curtains envelop the room in a whimsical world—part surrealist landscape, part cinematic fantasy, reminiscent of the magical wonder of Fantasia.
As night falls, the suite awakens. Projected light animates the walls, bringing the environment to life. In the living space, a searchlight casts shifting geometric forms, while the bedroom reveals ethereal birds in flight—an ever-evolving display of movement, shadow, and color that captures the mystery and energy of the forest after dark.
Nightwatch is more than a place to stay; it’s an immersive experience where art and technology converge, offering guests an unforgettable journey into contemporary multi-media artistry.
