As the world marks UNESCO’s World Art Day on April 15, art enthusiasts can embark on a cultural journey across Asia’s most creatively inspired hotels. From immersive exhibitions to architecturally stunning spaces, these properties blend hospitality with artistic expression, offering guests a chance to experience art beyond traditional galleries. Here are the top destinations to indulge in creativity and luxury:
The StandardX, Bangkok – Where Art Never Sleeps
Nestled in Bangkok’s historic Phra Arthit district, The StandardX is more than a hotel—it’s a living gallery. Its 10 10 Art Space, open 24/7, showcases contemporary Thai art, with the current exhibition “Timeless Thai” celebrating the kingdom’s rich heritage. Guests can also enjoy Songkran festivities, riverside happy hours, and street food at BANG, making it a vibrant cultural hub.
Mondrian Hong Kong – A Canvas of Urban Creativity
In the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, Mondrian Hong Kong merges sleek design with cutting-edge art. The hotel’s The Corner Shop hosts “Once Lost, Now Found”, a multisensory exhibition by local artists Liao Jiaming and Aaron Lam Kwok Yam, spanning two dynamic spaces. After exploring, head to Avoca, the rooftop bar, for cocktails with panoramic harbor views.
InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula – Bensley’s Artistic Oasis
A masterpiece by Bill Bensley, this hillside resort is a feast for the senses. Ride the Nam Tram cable car to the BENSLEY Outsider Gallery, where bold, colorful paintings support wildlife conservation. The resort’s whimsical design—from cone-hat dining pods at Citron to the 50-meter L_O_N_G Bar—ensures every corner is Instagram-worthy.
