The world need more art hotels. Seriously, what an awesomely easy way to transform a boring old hotel into a vibrant and interesting space. Most art hotels I’ve seen gear toward just street art, but Brooklyn’s Nu Hotel has something for everyone- unafraid to dip into genres other than what’s super trendy right now. Not every room is its own work of art, but the hotel has chosen just five very special arty sanctuaries, with art my our faves Icy and Sot, Adam Suerte, CAM, Steven Weinberg and Magdalena Marcenaro- all loosely themed “Brooklyn.” Next time your friend asks for a hotel recommendation, forget The Standard or The ACE and have them try out Brooklyn.

Who: Icy and Sot, Adam Suerte, CAM, Steven Weinberg and Magdalena Marcenaro
