Peregrine Heathcote was commissioned by the hotel to create the piece, titled “The Intrepid Explorer.” He specializes in vintage-style paintings, which caught the eyes of hotel owners JJ and Shanna Adams. 

“He came across my work online and he liked the fact that I painted a lot of vintage travel pieces and that synchronize very well with the stylistic theme of the hotel,” he said. 

Since the end of August, Heathcote has been working on the mural, which will be on display for guests and those walking by.
