Art Hotels

You may have visions of summer vacation on your mind and if you’re in the process of planning, any of these art hotels would be worth visiting for art’s sake. They look like they have really incorporated murals as part of their decor. You can also see the mentions I made earlier in the Light Show entry and recently in Serendipty 3 day blitz.

If you’re vacation takes you South and you’re passing through Orlando Florida’s airport, be sure to take notice of the public art all around you. Here’s a review link as to how the architecture of airports can be art in and of themselves.

If you’re in Raleigh, NC, check out the local mural’s on the Raleigh Connoisseur Blog.

And if you happen to be in Philadelphia, PA, where the most concentration of murals are located in the States, be sure to take the public tour, as described on the South Jersey Blog. Caveat however, while most of the are rendered with expertise and exceptional painterly skill, they tend to appeal to the socially conscious.

And finally for now, if you’re heading to Italy, please take me…Seriously however, if you find yourself in Venice, my favorite spot, note that this is the year that will celebrate the 500 birthday of Andrea Palladio, one of my favorite architects. Here’s a link to view “virtual portals” of his work in nearby Vicenza.
