If art imitates life, then these creative hotels show that life is one colorful, adventurous and beautiful ride. With art as the primary focus, these hotels fully immerse guests in both the artistic process and also their amazing results. From the lobby to the gardens to the guest rooms, both curated and site-specific works surround guests as they sleep, eat and even check in and out of these art hotels. Artwork at these hotels makes guests feel as if they’re spending a night at the museum. It’s no longer enough for five-star hotels to offer impeccable white-glove service, dedicated butlers, and 24/7 concierge— many of the world’s top hotels now double as exhibition spaces, with Picassos in the lobby and Warhol in the dining room. Staying at one of these definitely counts as a cultural experience.
