Hotel Vermont

Most hotels treat art as decoration. Hotel Vermont treats it as an introduction.

The hotel's walls are filled with work by Vermont artists, chosen not just for aesthetics but for what they say about this place and the people who make things here. We traveled across Vermont filming those artists in their studios: wood sculptors, printmakers, glassblowers whose handmade pieces carry the fingerprints of their makers. We let them tell the stories behind the work guests were already living with in their rooms. The films played on a dedicated in-room channel, giving anyone who wanted it the chance to look at the wood sculpture in the corner or the print on the wall with completely different eyes.

Drawing those stories out is what we do. We have the kind of conversations that feel less like interviews and more like old friends catching up, and that's exactly where the heart of the story lives. Guests who watch these films don't just see the art around them differently. They feel connected to the people who made it, to the Vermont that exists beyond the lobby. That's the difference between Hotel Vermont and a corporate chain: one sells you a room. The other makes you feel like you belong somewhere.

"Corey has been part of the Hotel Vermont story for a long time–long enough to understand that we are more than just a place for travelers to stop for the night, but a space for connection, with deep roots in our Vermont community. Our 'Friends of Hotel Vermont' series exemplifies just that. Welcoming guests on each in-room television as they arrive, this collection of films shines light on the craft behind what they see within our walls. Corey blended simple, aesthetic beauty and storytelling to create a series that has added depth and meaning to every Hotel Vermont experience." — Maddy Moore, Marketing Manager, Hotel Vermont
