New Hotel Chain Combines Elements of a Museum with a Luxury Hotel

By  | 

 

If you’re an art lover, next time you travel to Kentucky, Oklahoma, Ohio, North Carolina or Arkansas, you may want to check into the 21c Museum Hotel. Though 21c (short for 21st century) opens their lobby doors for visitors to look at the artwork, whether they’re a guest or not.

On the 21c Museum Hotel’s website, they boast that each location is like a “multi-venue contemporary art museum, coupled with a boutique hotel and chef-driven restaurant.” The unique buildings hold a sleek and mindfully enriching environment giving visitors an accessible glimpse into the world of contemporary art.

Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson are the two art collectors who started the hotel/museum idea in Louisville by revitalizing old bourbon and tobacco warehouses. Now, they’ve developed a growing number of locations that each have art programming and commissioned pieces.

Entrepeneur.com quotes Craig Greenberg, president of 21c Museum Hotels, as saying, “The art makes it such an interesting place. It really strengthens the business of 21c, and it’s a vastly different business than if you just took the art off the walls or just hung up art for decoration.”
