by Luxury hotels have always had a long relationship with art. In the The Dolder Grand In Zurich, for example, visitors can sleep under the same roof as a 36-foot-wide Andy Warhol, as well as individual pieces by Keith Haring, Takashi Murakami and Salvador Dali. While, in The Silo Hotel in South Africa, you don’t have to go far to immerse yourself in the world of art – the hotel, in fact, is located above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art (the largest museum of contemporary African art in the world). If that wasn’t enough, the hotel also has its own gallery – The Vault – featuring both emerging and established artists. Meanwhile, at Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà in Verona, Italy, you’ll find contemporary art from Marc Quinn, Damien Hurst, Anish Kapoor and Vanessa Beecroft. In short, the list of hotels with incredible art collections is long.
