Sixty Guests, One Rooftop

By the end of the evening, the rooftop at Frosch by Chase Travel Headquarters was full of guests carrying home hand painted keepsakes. Each portrait was rendered live in ink and watercolor, a small souvenir of a summer soiree built to bring IHG Hotels & Resorts closer to the leadership, advisors, and hoteliers who sell its properties every day.

How ZIYĀ Works

ZIYĀ pairs a guided prompt with real time AI generated watercolor art, printed on the spot so every guest leaves with a physical keepsake rather than a digital file.
