World's Most Artsy Hotel Rooms of the World

Enjoy your James Bond fantasies and lounge in a 007-grade suite complete with a turret-shaped lamp, or walking in the spirit of famed fashion designer Christian Lacroix. When all this and more is possible, why not make your hotel stay a cultural experience in itself with a theme, fantasy or art hotel? From a surprisingly successful collision of Italian classicism and ultra-modern furniture for a girly retreat worthy of a 21st century Marie Antoinette, the 12 hotel rooms from five of the world's most creative hotels are irresistible eye candy.

Seven Hotel, Paris, France 

No matter your taste or even your mood at the moment, Seven Hotel in Paris, a luxury suite that will make you swoon. The 28-room designer hotel is seven incredible theme suites, ranging from the subtle, quiet charm of a small black and white palette for a room was - and indeed is named after - 007 himself. Go down the rabbit hole and spend a night or two in the charmingly childlike "Alice" suite, decorated in shades of green and bright pink with a collection of clocks hanging on a wall and a stuffed bunny mounted on another . This suite's most amusing touch is the chess set - playable while sitting on the porcelain throne.




Those with more aristocratic taste in the style of Marie Antoinette - albeit a modernized version of the famous French queen, a la Sofia Coppola - should check out her namesake room. Soft and feminine, the unit has a quiet sky painted many a soft surface on which to sit and eat cake, and a bed, surrounded by a mere cover current-laden curtains.

But of course, when James Bond was in the building, everyone else was darkened, and indeed, the James Bond suite is the culmination of Hotel Seven. Male with a little kitsch, this suite 1960 Sean Connery Bond all the way with a midcentury lounge in which to drink martinis - shaken, not stirred, of course - and a prominent gun-shaped lamp. 

Le Bellechasse Hotel, Paris, France Christian Lacroix is ​​so busy stunning design hotels, it's a wonder he has any time for fashion had. Just over Paris from its chic and oh-so-French Hotel du Petit Moulin is the dreamy Le Bellechasse with 34 rooms grouped into three categories: Discovery, original and privilege. Each category represents its own particular kind of artistic flair, combined to create what could be considered in equal parts museum-quality exhibitions and luxury digs.

Start with 'Discovery' and take a journey through a theater complex visual narrative, in this case consists of Renaissance-era paintings and old world views updated with modern touches that keep the design of that sober or predictable. Move to 'original', you're suddenly a part of a three-dimensional Victorian decoupage packed with butterflies, suns, moons and other natural subjects. But Privilege "feel like a different hotel altogether, bright and modern with bold prints and colors. "For my journey through the mirror, be it a painting, a photograph, a text," said Lacroix. "When a train or a hotel room, I travel in my head." 

Barcelo Raval Hotel Barcelona, ​​Spain 

When architecture firm CMV Arquitectos and interior designer Jordi Gali on the refurbishment of the Hotel Barcelo Raval in Barcelona, ​​they are confronted with a unique challenge: the unusual elliptical shape of the building. Their solution to this problem with a central concrete core which acts as the backbone of the building, which has a smooth flow area for the oval at every turn resonance is still an issue for the design as a whole. A soft pink seat and a mass of white foam cylinders hanging from the ceiling makes the living room and all eye candy bar.

Above, the rooms vary slightly through the floor, with varying shades of neon accents, but all are anchored by very elegant black and white surfaces. Open bath tubs made of Corian looks like images, and LED lights in bright colors shine in the white headboards.

Byblos Art Hotel, Italy From the outside, the Byblos Art Hotel virtually any elegant castle in the Italian countryside - and indeed, architecturally, the same can be said about the interior. But what some designers might just shrug and go with a classic theme in order for the historical elements of the building to honor, Alessandro Mendini has a risk and eventually created one of the most stunning juxtapositions of old and new in the recent past, artfully combining tray ceilings and crystal chandeliers with saving midcentury-modern furniture and mod fabrics.

The hotel is a veritable museum of modern art, with works by Frank Lloyd Wright, Anish Kapoor and Beatriz Millar. The hotel's three suites - the Presidential, the baroque and Mendini's Cult - continue the design theme in three very different ways.Where the presidential suite is positively regal and traditional fitted with very heavy jewel-toned cloth and fine flourish, the Baroque Suite outfits in cheerful yellow stripes and a coral-red headboard. The Cult Mendini's suite is practically a shrine to the design of Atelier Mendini, an Italian design firm headed by brothers Alessandro and Francesco Mendini. 

The G Hotel, Galway, Ireland In the 1990s, supermodel Linda Evangelista's famous saying that she would not get out of her bed for less than $ 10,000. The G Hotel in Galway, Ireland, you can actually stay in the same bed - once owned by Evangelista herself - in the specialty suite named after the model. Philip Treacy milliner some of the most fantastic and fanciful hats in the world design, so it's no wonder that as design director of the G Hotel, he bubblegum pink as the main color for the clubhouse. Everywhere you look, there are hints of the elements that Treacy often includes in his wearable creations - from spring-mounted mirrors on the doors to the origami-like birds sculptures hanging from the ceiling in the spa.



While the most obvious traces of Treacy's influence is seen in the communal areas of the hotel rooms itself carries a subtle iteration of the theme with framed illustrations of Treacy's creations and Frette linens that milliner designed himself.
