Given that Sofitel Bangkok
Sukhumvit is the only hotel in Thailand’s
capital with an art gallery, it’s no surprise
that Sofitel Luxury Hotels’ flagship property
in Southeast Asia houses some of the
coolest pieces this side of Paris. The most
coveted might just be the very symbol of
the City of Light itself -- a miniature Eiffel
Tower, which sits on a table in the ballroom
foyer and has undoubtedly beckoned the
kleptomaniac in every guest to notice the
remarkable little replica.
THE
GRAND
HYATT
TAIPEI
Taipei’s most seasoned luxury hotel is well-known
for its sizeable collection of contemporary art
and calligraphy works by Taiwanese artist TK.
Many of TK’s black and white paintings adorn the
walls of the hotel’s 853 guest rooms and suites,
including one of a large swirl, which is proudly
displayed in the entrance to one of the corner
suites. The framed painting might be a little
tricky to squeeze through the hotel’s revolving
doors undetected, but it would certainly make for
a cool souvenir to brag about to your friends back
home.
