4 Kessler Collection Hotels with Art in the Southern U.S. - AFAR

"Perched above the Reedy River falls in downtown Greenville, this lodge complements Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge with handcrafted American craftsman architecture, warm woods, natural stone accents, and guest rooms dressed in luxe greens. The property's art program highlights an extensive collection of Western and Native American works from the founder’s personal holdings—jewelry, baskets, blankets, and bronze sculpture—alongside the Tanner Bay Collection of historical artifacts dating to 8,000 B.C.E. Natural-world specimens such as geodes and large crystal formations from Brazil and Uruguay are displayed in the porch and Greenspace Courtyard, a slab of petrified wood anchors the lobby, and notable sculptural and painted works such as Jerry McKellar’s Wind Spirit and a canyon landscape by Robert Harper add focal points throughout the property." - AFAR
