Stepping into the art'otel A Warhol is like stepping into one of the pop artist's prints. This stunning four-star hotel presents pristine rooms that seem to jump out at you, with lime green carpets and curtains, electro-violet chairs, pop-art prints, and modern furnishings. To complete the picture, they've added silver fixtures, celebrity photos by Christopher Makos, white maple furniture, and luxuriously furnished baths.
Needless to say, we appreciated this art'otel and considered it worth a splurge for our readers. Entirely renovated in 2002, the hotel seems new and impressive. The German interior designer Beate Weller has gone to town in the lobby, too, setting the scene with expanses of primary colors, framed silkscreen prints, and retro “pod” seating. A café and “factory” restaurant continue the contemporary art feel, with Warhol staring down at you from behind the bar.
According to the Warhol's brochure, the hotel “offers you a unique opportunity to experience the fusion of travel, art, photography and design.” Well, we saw the fusion! After our grand tour, we drank an espresso in the hip café and considered ourselves “art’rageously” impressed.
Also known as the art'otel Berlin City Center West, the Warhol is part of a chain that also runs the Art'otel Berlin Mitte, as well as hotels in Dresden and Budapest.
