Masterpieces in Mexico City The JW MARRIOTT MEXICO CITY SANTA FE was privileged to share an exclusive preview of a private exhibition featuring Latin American Art that was later auctioned at Christie’s New York. Featuring works from important Latin American artists including Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo and Fernando Botero, the public exhibition was among several over the past year that Christie’s has held at JW hotels around the world, providing one-of-a-kind opportunities for guests to experience the worlds of art, auction and beyond. The JW Marriott Mexico City Santa Fe was a natural fit to host the city’s first JW-Christie’s art event—its own extensive collection of Latin American Art is on permanent display for Mexico City’s art lovers to enjoy. Stars Turn Out for the Pride of Britain Marking its 14th year with a televised, star-studded gala at the JW MARRIOTT LONDON GROSVENOR HOUSE, The Daily Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards honored heroes from everyday life, including Olympic and Paralympic athletes, Coastguard volunteers, octogenarian fundraisers, soldiers and ordinary citizens providing random acts of bravery and kindness. Attended by HRH Prince Charles, Prime Minister David Cameron, Sir Michael Caine, Sir Elton John and David Beckham, among others, the high-profile event inspired guests with breathtaking stories of heroism and courage, uplifting and moving moments and electrifying entertainment. A Grand Andean Welcome Jon Bon Jovi and Pride of Britain presenter and TV personality Carol Vorderman present Natalia Aggiano (center) with a Special Recognition Award.

J WM MAGAZINE With the Andes providing a dramatic backdrop both inside and out, the JW MARRIOTT CUSCO announced its arrival in the Peruvian capital with great fanfare. The Andean Mystic theme suited the night well, as the hotel is located in what used to be the 16th-century Saint Augustine convent. Guests invited to the hotel’s grand opening gala were treated to sumptuous local cuisine along with some of Cusco’s greatest performing artists, including contemporary Peruvian musician Lucho Quequezana and his immensely entertaining multicultural band. 82 j w m a r r i o t t. c o m http://www.JWMARRIOTT.COM
