NYCxDESIGN is guided by core values of community, creativity, inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable design for the greater good. Beyond our annual Festival, our year-round programming provides a platform for NYC’s diverse design talent, from students and emerging designers to seasoned professionals. Each program fosters connection, education, and inspiration, empowering the next generation to use design as a powerful tool for positive impact and addressing the world’s most pressing needs.
The pursuit of longevity has transformed luxury hospitality from being merely transactional to deeply transformative. This panel and live immersive experience—presented by Design Hotels, Othership, Mason Studio, Aman Resorts, Hotels and Residences, and other special guests—will explore how longevity informs contemporary hospitality design, redefining interactions with spaces, objects, and guests themselves.
Guided by insights from science, health technology, and personalization, hospitality design is shifting toward bespoke, data-driven programming tailored to individual wellness journeys. The conversation, moderated by Design Hotels, will feature hospitality leaders and designers discussing the innovative future of multisensory design—how design decisions, technology integration, and personal rituals come together to enhance longevity and holistic well-being.
Following the panel discussion, participants will embark on an immersive journey guided by Othership, known for their transformative sauna and ice bath experiences. This experiential portion gives attendees the opportunity to actively engage with and internalize key themes from the discussion—demonstrating how the integration of art, science, space design, and carefully curated programming results in culturally rich and scientifically advanced wellness experiences.
