The Principe Forte Dei Marmi in Tuscany, Italy, actually hosts an artist in residence for several months. Guests meet and interact with the artist and then can custom order a piece of art. The guests can even handpick the materials to be used in sculptures.
Some chain hotels trying to distinguish themselves are even getting into the art business. At the Renaissance Arts Hotel in New Orleans, a Marriott property, don't expect to see price lists in the rooms. But guests who ask the staff can learn how to buy the various pieces of art, such as the glass in the bathroom that goes for about US$300 (approximately NT$9,000). Each room features an original picture and the hotel is also able to refer guests to the artist or gallery if they are interested in other works.
Sherry Quinn, of Lisbon, Maryland, near Baltimore, recently purchased a painting, "Orange Moon over Lemmon Avenue," while attending a security-related convention at the Dallas Omni. "It was the most unlikely place I would think I would purchase art," Quinn said. But the nighttime scene of the city just called to her. "I just felt like there was something magical about the painting."
Ed Netzhammer, managing director of the Dallas Omni, notes that his hotel has "more art than a lot of the galleries and museums around the country." "It makes it fun and interesting and adds a whole different level of energy to the hotel," Netzhammer said.
