Today, we’re looking at a hotel that takes art to a whole new level. No meek little watercolours on the walls here…
Not many contemporary art galleries let you crawl inside your chosen masterpiece, but that is effectively what happens at Copenhagen’s Hotel Fox.
The rooms are the work of 21 internationally renowned graphic artists and illustrators, and the dramatic results range from comic-book chic to faux fin-de-siecle creations. Far from the enervating anonymity of so many hotels, every single room in Hotel Fox has its own identity and name. Room 206 is called Ecstasy and is dominated by a sultry, wall-high, raven-haired siren. Just down the hall, room 202 - You Are a Baby - sends you back to your childhood playpen with a baby bedspread, a hanging mobile and bright primary colours. Then there’s room 409, (Heidi), an over-the-top homage to rural Swiss life, complete with antlers. Aspiring pugilists will want to check into room 504 - it’s got a boxing theme. Dream on.
