Located in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte, is a luxury hotel that brings an urbane sophistication through its innovative restaurants, dramatic skyline views, spacious guest rooms and suites, and its environmental commitment. Evermotion created 3D scene inspired by its great lobby. This scene comes from Archinteriors vol. 44. It is scene 10 of this collection. It was rendered in V-Ray.

Photoshop stack from raw camera 1 image. The bottom layer is raw RGB render, next comes highpass filter for sharpening (radius 0.5 pixels), two next layers are specular and reflection passes (linear dodge and lighter color blending modes). After them we placed Motion Blur layer that enhances soft light reflections on the furniture and walls. Hue / Saturation layer desaturated image quite heavily (-34%), then we added light bloom, curves for greater contrast. Gradient layer makes the room on the left more blueish, at the top we have Lighting layer.

Camera 2 Photoshop stack. Sharpening with highpass filter, reflection and specular layers. Gradient light layer makes some light bloom near lamps. The last color adjustment layers increase contrast and desaturate image a bit.
