London’s Tate Museum and the ICA are coming together with Guest Hotels to create a chain of locations for artists to display their work. The group will create 5 art hotels. The BBC quotes the chairman of Guest Hotels saying, “Until now, hotels have used art as decoration. We are reversing that concept by allowing artists to use our hotels as their showcase.”
The first two hotels will open this summer in Bayswater, west London. Guest Hotels’ the Jones and the Nest will kick off the showcase. If you’re in the area be sure to check them out. If you happen to get there early, the Tate Museum and the ICA are great destinations for modern art and the like. Click Read More for additional information. (Above Pic: London’s Tate Museum)
