At SOA Arts, it’s our job to stay at the bleeding edge of hotel interior design and everything art-related. Over the years, we’ve come to know that well-sourced art can make or break a hotel’s atmosphere, reputation, and revenue.

If you run a hotel and are looking for inspiration, this post might just be for you.

This page is written as a celebration of contemporary art and its power to transform interiors. We’ll be exploring some of the most beautiful hotels in the world and the art collections they jealously guard.

For those lucky enough to have the money for a night’s stay at one of these locations, they’re well worth a visit.

ART AT THE GEORGE HOTEL

Curator Stephen Gleeson has been working on this spectacular collection since the 1990s, and his dedication really shows. It successfully captures the distinctive flair of the hotel and is breathtaking to behold if you’re in New Zealand and can visit.

The vast majority of the collection is contemporary, from New Zealand, and undeniably innovative. It goes beyond improving the overall hotel interior design. It makes the George a destination, not just a place to stay the night.

For the curious, full-art tours can be arranged at the hotel for $50 per person.

ART AT THE CONRAD INDIANAPOLIS HOTEL

Part hotel part art gallery, the Conrad will stay in the minds of its guests many months after they leave. The interior design of hotel lobby spaces, bedrooms, and corridors are all exquisite. What’s more, the hotel boasts a collection of art that’s full of uniquely curated selections known as the Collection Suites.

Each suite is inspired by the “Pop, Modern, Surrealist and Contemporary” art movements and are well worth a visit if you’re in the area. Pieces from movement-defining artists such as Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and William John Kennedy are all ready and waiting. Even dedicated art galleries in the area struggle to compete with the Conrad!

The second ‘Conrad’ hotel on this list has more than 3,400 pieces to explore throughout the entire building. Glance at a surface in this hotel, and you’ll probably see something beautiful hanging there.

The hotel interior design employed here has an overarching east-Asian theme with elegance and sophistication dripping from every square inch. If you’re planning a trip to Singapore, this art hotel is unlikely to disappoint.

The Silo won the best city hotel in Africa award for 2020, and for a good reason. Everything about this building is truly breathtaking. The architecture, interior design, and contemporary art all sing together in a triumph that is much greater than the sum of its parts.

It’s a fantastic example of how suitable artwork can transform the interior of a building into something magical.

The establishment is just above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art, which houses the continent’s largest collection of groundbreaking African art. For those looking for luxury, intrigue, and ultimate comfort, the Silo complex will be simply perfect.
