Arty Hotels
There's been a lot of coverage of Project Fox recently, one of whose aspects is the conversion of a dowdy 3 star hotel into Hotel Fox.
The Hotel FOX is a completely new type of hotel, unparalleled in the world says the blurb. Maybe. But there are a number of similar concept hotels in the World, one of which is the Sorat Art'otel on Joachimstaler Strasse in Berlin, where I had the pleasure of staying on and off between '92 to '95.
Admittedly, Hotel Fox has well and truly focussed on getting art into each of its 61 rooms, whereas most of the art in the Sorat is in the public spaces, like the dining room ...
... and the lobby, for example.
