Project FOX by Josh Spear
Project FOX, is an event in Copenhagen promoting the newly released Volkswagen Fox. For the occasion they created a hotel, a club, and a studio all in downtown Copenhagen. For the hotel they took an already pre-existing hotel, and combined the talent of 21 artists to re-design the interior of 61 rooms. Along with the hotel, they have a club/restaurant that has three open show kitchens, and a studio where the VW Fox was presented to the public-- this is where artists and designers who were working on the design for the club and hotel can present their own VW Fox design ideas. Check the site for an informational video, and pictures from all the locations--and if you're in Copenhagen, stop by.

Hotel Particulier
Nestled in a garden down a secret cobblestone path off Avenue Junot in Paris' Montmartre lies the impossibly charming five-room Hotel Particulier. CH had the privilege of staying there recently (courtesy of the hotel, which just opened its doors in June) and enjoyed the luxuriously appointed rooms and movie-perfect setting—the adjacent pétanque court being the cherry on top of the cake. With a well-curated...

Art Hotels
One-upping the generic prints that often hang inoffensively in hotel rooms and lobbies, more and more hotels add work by big name contemporary artists to their lists of amenities. These three destinations feature art by less flashy names, which makes them a good place to discover new artists and the presentation—graffiti-style murals that cover the walls of a room and doors with photographic overlays—makes for...
