Stair-riser vinyl decals come together to overtake the entirety of the main staircase in the lobby with dancing piano keys. Typography cheekily spells out various quotes attributed to Gershwin over the years. Each textual fragment is placed on a single step, and visitors complete the sentence as they flow upwards.

Similarly, quotes from renowned thinkers around the globe, including figures like the French poet and screenwriter Jacques Prévert, grace various locations throughout the entirety of the hotel, such as on the mirrors above the banquettes in the Manhattan Lounge Bar. The hotel enhances the visual journey through the decade by hosting a jazz band every Thursday.

In the lobby seating area, a gallery wall features iconic black-and-white photography by Henk Visser, who captured jazz legends worldwide with his analog camera. A selection of museum-standard framed iconic photographs are on view, a nod to the Roaring Twenties and Thirties. The gray wall behind reinforces a jazz palette and completes the nostalgic thread.
