The Beaumont Mayfair is a five-star luxury hotel located in London's prestigious Mayfair district, overlooking Brown Hart Gardens. Opened in 2014, the hotel occupies a Grade II listed Art Deco building originally constructed in 1926, which formerly served as a garage. The hotel offers 73 rooms, including 23 studios and suites, all designed to evoke the elegance of the 1920s. Each room is adorned with original artwork. A standout feature is "ROOM," a unique suite designed by renowned British sculptor Antony Gormley. This inhabitable sculpture provides guests with a distinctive and immersive experience, blending art and accommodation seamlessly.

Anish Kapoor (b. 1954) is a British-Indian sculptor known for his innovative and large-scale works that challenge perception and space. In the early 1970s, he moved from Mumbai to London to pursue his artistic education. Kapoor's creative process involves continuous experimentation and risk-taking. His sculptures are both adventures in form and feats of engineering, Kapoor maneuvers between vastly different scales, across numerous bodies of work. He believes in exploring new ideas and materials, and often allows his works to evolve over time, sometimes taking months to decide if a piece is ready for public display. Kapoor's work continues to push boundaries in contemporary sculpture, challenging viewers' perceptions of space, form, and color. His innovative approach and monumental public works have solidified his position as one of the most influential sculptors of his generation.

Antony Gormley (b. 1950) is a British sculptor known for his exploration of the human body and its relationship to space.

Other notable projects include "Another Place", a series of iron figures on a beach in Liverpool, and "Event Horizon", where human-like sculptures were placed on rooftops and public spaces in cities worldwide.
