View of street art by Jacob Yikes on Distinction Hotel.
Contributor's note: "Jacob Yikes' massive 50+ metre high mural on the side of Distinction Hotel is Aotearoa's tallest mural - and it is a sight to behold!

Created for the 2025 Flare Ōtautahi Street Art Festival, the work began in early February 2025, with a combination of abseilers, giant boom lifts and scissor lifts to reach the necessary heights. The work towers above the city, a massive new landmark that stops passersby in their tracks.
