JMKT
JMKT is a grab & go idea concepted to be integrated in all James Hotel Lobbies / public spaces. The Guiding premise was to create neighborhood cafés and artisanal markets within each James, thereby becoming the fabric of the community where each hotel resides.
The guiding philosophy of JMKT's retail curation – from café space to in-room offerings - is that JMKT would be a purveyor of beautifully crafted and thoughtfully selected goods.
An updated, fresh take on the classic café, the menu offerings would feature seasonal food +drink with a focus on local purveyors with acasual, comfortable counter service, seating (space permitting) and to-go selections.
Incorporated into the space are carefully curated wares and cause-related products from craftspeople and artisans across the globe … from organic totes, ceramics, cookbooks, chocolates + sweets, kitchen essentials, candles, etc.
In addition to the retail presence, JMKT would be incorporated into the guest rooms via the product selection and branding of the in-room pantry. The in-room JMKT would feature a selection of sundry items and travel essentials, as well as a streamlined offering of classic mini bar beverages/snacks.
