9 international boutique hotels with a focus on stunning art

08 Oct

We have curated nine wonderful art hotels: some are small and real boutique, others are bigger and more luxurious. What they all have in common is their love for contemporary art. It’s like sleeping in a museum.

Château de la Resle | Montigny-la-Resle

A French Boutique Hotel and design label fully specialized in Dutch design. All the objects are inspired by the art & design collection of its Dutch owners. Crowning a hill in the renowned winemaking region of Burgundy, Château de la Resle has the charm and personality of a well-loved private home. The six elegant rooms and suites are taken care of by Dutchmen Johan Bouman and Pieter Franssens, who invite guests to share the French, ivy-wrapped manor house they painstakingly restored. Adding to the feeling of romance and exclusivity is Johan and Pieter’s personal collection of contemporary art and design, which attracts fellow connoisseurs from around the world.

Hotel Lone | Rovinj

Hotel Lone in Rovinj, Istria, Croatia, represents a design-focused synergy of functionality, harmony and elegance. Like a luxury cruise liner nestled on the hillside, the seductive, minimalist curves of Hotel Lone’s design are influenced by the area’s unique natural landscape. Just like in a contemporary art museum, every detail in this hotel will awaken your desire to explore. Installations in the hotel lobby were made by innovative artists: Ivana Franke – “Room for running ghosts“ and Silvio Vujičić – “In the hanging garden no one speaks“.

Gramercy Park Hotel | New York City

Boutique hotel located in New York City. With one-of-a-kind design created by Julian Schnabel, the Gramercy Park Hotel is more than a unique luxury property – it’s a work of art. 
Set in one of the mostcoveted areas of Manhattan, the legendary hotel has, for nine decades, opened its doors to international artists, literati, fashion designers and intellectuals. The Hotel is a modern take on a traditional grand New York Hotel, with its custom-designed, handcrafted furnishings and rotating collection of 20th century artwork, including masterpieces from Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Damien Hirst.
Outside the hotel is yet another work of art – Gramercy Park, New York City’s only private park, to which guests of the hotel have exclusive access. Never merely a place to rest one’s head or to fade into the familiar, Gramercy Park Hotel is a masterpiece of eccentricity and individualism,
a place where magical, inspiring things happen.

The Dolder Grand | Zurich

Sir Norman Foster’s hotel “The Dolder Grand”, with its futuristic building high above Zurich, has become a mecca for art lovers. In collaboration with the Galerie Gmurzynska, hotel owner Urs E. Schwarzenbach brought together more than 100 works of art of the highest quality. Some are reserved for house guests on the individual floors to the rooms. The majority, however, are located in the public spaces. Salvador Dalí’s “Femmes métamorphosées”, for example, welcome guests at the entrance to the award-winning “The Restaurant”, and the four paintings “Les Quatre Saisons” by the impressionist Pissarro adorn the Private Dining Room. And Henry Moore’s sculpture “Three-piece reclining figure: Draped” takes its place on the terrace. On the way to the spa, “Le Monde” by Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely can be discovered, and directly above the reception hangs Andy Warhol’s ten-meter-wide and multi-million-euro “Big Retrospective Painting“.
