art'otel hotels
Original works by a signature artist shape each city hotel, making the building a gallery.
At art’otel, a signature artist’s original work shapes the hotel’s interiors and atmosphere, making the gallery part of everyday life rather than a separate room to visit. Conceived in the early 1990s and closely tied to PPHE Hotel Group within Radisson’s brand family, the collection brings that idea to contemporary city hotels and restored urban buildings.

History
The early Berlin Mitte hotel gave the art’otel idea substantial form through more than three hundred original works by Georg Baselitz. Later hotels carried the relationship with a signature artist into new buildings and neighborhoods, including Hoxton and Battersea in London. Art remains part of the interiors and everyday atmosphere rather than a separate gallery visit.
