As an interior photographer based in NYC, I recently had the opportunity to photograph the historic Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, New Jersey. This landmark property has long been a centerpiece of the city, and capturing its elegance through photography was both a challenge and a joy.
One of the highlights of the shoot was the hotel’s restaurant, a beautifully designed space that blends modern style with classic sophistication. The soft lighting, polished finishes, and carefully chosen décor made it a dream environment for an interior design photographer. Every table setting, every texture, and every detail contributed to an atmosphere of refinement that I wanted to convey through the images.
Equally striking was the hotel’s lobby, where the architecture truly takes center stage. With its soaring high ceiling, ornate detailing, and thoughtfully curated furniture, the lobby reflects the timeless character of the Robert Treat Hotel. From an architectural photographer’s perspective, it was essential to showcase not only the scale of the space but also the sense of welcome and grandeur it provides guests as soon as they walk through the doors.
These photographs are being used for the hotel’s website, which is a crucial component of their marketing. In today’s competitive hospitality market, strong visuals make all the difference in how potential guests perceive a property online. By highlighting both the warm elegance of the restaurant and the architectural beauty of the lobby, the imagery helps communicate the Robert Treat Hotel’s unique identity and appeal.
Working on projects like this reinforces why I love photographing interiors and architecture. From New York City to Newark and beyond, my goal is always to create images that not only document a space but also invite viewers to experience its atmosphere and design.
