Hotel Confidential Art Exhibition

Hotel Confidential is a three-day contemporary art exhibition that transforms the Annex Building of The Royal Hotel into a series of temporary site-specific installations. Sixteen artists from different disciplines and geographies have been invited to create new works within the building’s guest rooms and shared spaces, re-imagining the hotel as both setting and metaphor.

Working across disciplines including installation, sculpture, performance, textile, bio-sonification, photography, and sound design, the artists use the architecture of a hotel as a stage for artistic experimentation and unexpected encounters.

With its title a playful nod to pulp novels and cinema noir, Hotel Confidential invites audiences into immersive artworks that reveal hidden narratives and explore the hotel as a space of fleeting encounters, private worlds, and passing lives.

A collaboration between County Arts and The Royal Hotel, Hotel Confidential is curated by Christina Zeidler and Stacey Sproule.

Exhibition Hours: April 18–19, 11am–5pm

Opening Reception: Friday, April 17, 7:30–9pm
