We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Peter Bremers Glass Art back to Glass Light Restaurant for dinner. Bremers is the internationally acclaimed glass artist behind our beloved Two Bunnies that have greeted guests in our lobby since 2020.

Created specifically for us at Glass Light Hotel, our two bunnies were designed with distinct personalities and a sense of play. One relaxes at the bar while the other welcomes guests through the door, creating an introduction to the hotel that is impossible to forget.

It was a pleasure to welcome the artist behind these iconic pieces back to the place they call home and to see Peter sharing a moment with Executive Chef Tichafa Chingombe.

One of the first works of art to greet you when you enter our lobby is Primary Lips, 2019 by Tyler Shields.

This piece makes an immediate impression with its unmistakable presence. It's exactly the kind of piece that feels at home here in our gallery, where contemporary art and thoughtful design are woven into the experience from the moment you walk through the doors.

One table. Two very different plates.

A beautifully composed dish can tell you a lot about the evening ahead, but the real question is which seat are you taking? Settle in at Glass Light Restaurant and let our culinary team take it from there.

Some dinners deserve a setting all their own. Host a private dinner surrounded by the Perry Glass Art Collection and turn your next gathering into an experience your guests will remember.

With art surrounding the table and the culinary team creating the menu, dining at Glass Light becomes more than a meal. It becomes part of the occasion.

A romantic getaway in the heart of downtown Norfolk looks a little something like this. Spend the day exploring the city, then slow down as the sun begins to set and the water catches the last light of the evening.

With beautiful accommodations, art at every turn, and dining and cocktails just downstairs, Glass Light makes it easy to turn a night away into something worth lingering over.

Even the walk to a meeting can be an art experience at Glass Light. The halls leading to our meeting spaces are surrounded by original glass pieces and artwork, bringing the same sense of creativity and discovery found throughout the rest of the hotel.

Here, even the spaces in between are worth a closer look.

From preparation to the final detail, there is a lot happening behind the scenes to make your experience at the table feel effortless. In our kitchen, every plate is the result of timing, communication, technique, and a culinary team working together seamlessly.

Glass Light takes on a different kind of glow after dark. From Granby Street, the hotel and gallery stand out against the downtown Norfolk skyline, offering a glimpse of the art, architecture, dining, and hospitality waiting inside.

Next time you're here, don't just look at the walls. Look up, too. Our light fixtures are works of glass art in their own right, adding another layer of creativity and craftsmanship to the hotel. Around here, even the details above you are worth taking a moment to appreciate.

We are proud to see Executive Chef Tichafa Chingombe and Glass Light Restaurant featured in Coastal Virginia Magazine for our recent w**e dinner "A Taste of Home". An intimate seven course dinner inspired by the flavors, memories, and experiences that shaped his culinary journey.

The feature by Marisa Marsey beautifully captures what made the evening so meaningful: food rooted in heritage, thoughtfully reimagined through Chef Tichafa’s culinary perspective, and shared around a table surrounded by the Perry Glass Art Collection.

We are grateful to Coastal Virginia Magazine for telling this story and to Marisa Marsey for capturing the evening so beautifully. We are equally grateful to our culinary team for continuing to create dining experiences that are personal, creative, and distinctly Glass Light.
