art’otel
Inspired by the design genius of
Philippe Starck and the boutique style
hotel offering of Ian Schrager’s Royalton
Hotel in New York, art’otel was created
by a small group of avid art collectors
and entrepreneurs. Their vision was to
develop a contemporary collection of
hotels that fuse unique architectural style
with art-inspired interiors.
Initially launched in Berlin, art’otel grew to
include hotels in key German cities and the
Hungarian capital Budapest, with each
hotel paying homage to a signature
contemporary artist. And now with the
breathtaking destination art’otel amsterdam
already wowing guests in the Dutch capital,
art’otel is coming to London with a quirky
new property in fashionable Hoxton.
We aim to inspire you and to encourage
you to see life from a different perspective.
We understand that everyone’s different,
and we tailor our services accordingly.
We are unique. We are art’otel.

andy warhol
art’otel berlin city center west
Join us in Berlin to admire many of Andy
Warhol’s iconic ‘pop-art’ pieces, including
unique portraits of movie stars, world
leaders, soup cans and US emblems.
Renowned for their contrasting colours and
garish acrylic paints, Warhol’s masterpieces
helped to define a generation and they
adorn our guestrooms and public areas.
We’re proud also to display more than
200 photographs taken by Warhol’s
lifelong friend Christopher Makos.

georg
baselitz
art’otel berlin mitte
Experience the intensity and raw aggression
of Georg Baselitz’s deconstructed art in
Berlin. One of Germany’s most prolific
and celebrated artists, Baselitz depicts
landscapes, animals and the human form
using complex neo-expressionist techniques.
By breaking the visual image into parts and
reconstructing it with fracture lines, Baselitz
reflects a tortured soul that struggled to
conform. And by painting many works
upside down, Baselitz further focuses the
viewer on each painting’s pictorial merits.

a.r.
penck
art’otel dresden
Check out the work of A.R. Penck, one of
Germany’s most influential contemporary
artists, in Dresden. Through an outstanding
collection of large-format paintings, silk
prints, sketches, wall reliefs and imposing
sculptures, Penck gives pictorial expression
to abstract thought processes using outlines
of scientific biological and mathematical
models reminiscent of family trees, cell
groups and molecular structures.

donald
sultan
art’otel budapest
Visit Budapest to marvel at over 570 original
works by leading American still-life artist,
Donald Sultan. Known for his abstract style
featuring close-ups of flowers, fruit, dominoes
and butterflies on huge canvases as well as
breathtaking sculptures, Sultan combines
minimalism with traditional painting to
spectacular effect. Working with linoleum
tiles and plywood, Sultan focused on three
central thematic fields: the ‘industrials’, the
‘naturals’ and the ‘artificials’.

art’otel cologne
Head to Cologne to immerse yourself in the
colourful work of experimental artist SEO,
who left Seoul to join Georg Baselitz in
Berlin. Inspired by water, and especially the
river which flows into the ocean and links
everything together, she works primarily with
hand-made Korean hanji rice paper. Each
large-scale picture features at least 10,000
strips of paper on a minimum of five layers
with over 791 different colours.
