Pairing smells and sentiments, fashion designer Pamela Dennis and architectural designer Stephanie Goto collaborate with Glade to develop a scent filled utopia with both decorative and interactive elements. Easy escape from the bustle of New York City can be found in the "Feelings" lounge, Scent Lab and 5 specially themed immersive experiences (complete with photo ops unlocked by an RFID card). With guidance from the concierge, guests are introduced to each space and asked to allow the aromas to drive a super-sensory experience. 

 Comfy " Feelings Lounge," complete with curated objects relating to the inspired scents. Are you ready for relaxation?
