CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT

Another important mission to Canopy is bringing nature in with plants. “Canopy brand creates a unique vibe, and biophilia is a big part of it,” said Ralinova. There is so much plantlife that the hotel has partnered with a local florist to maintain it. “The Canopy has so many large windows that capture the exterior views, and bringing plants inside just adds to the beauty,” said Seifert-Brenna. Near the lobby’s large wall of plants is a more secluded area called The Retreat . “The Retreat started as a quiet space to get away from the hustle of the lobby,” recalled Seifert-Brenna. “We added a central fireplace and a lot of soft seating. Over time, we identified it would be a wonderful pre-function space to the adjacent junior ballroom and wanted to add an element of entertainment and activity.” [Craig] Lloyd surprised the hotel with a baby grand piano for even more ambiance in The Retreat. “We are thrilled the piano can play on its own or a guest can go up to it and sit down to play,” said Seifert-Brenna.
