来源: 国外博客   编辑: Vicki

Oscar Wilde在临死前只留下这样一句话:“要么墙纸走,要么我走!”可见,艺术对这位著名作家的影响有多大。如果你也是个对艺术有心的人,如果你也希望在外出度假的时候能够感受艺术的气息,不妨一起来欣赏一下今天为您介绍的5座顶级艺术酒店吧。

Starry night: top five art hotels




In the words of Oscar Wilde(奥斯卡王尔德) on his death bed: ‘Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.(要么这个墙纸走,要么我走)’

If art matters to you, then the hotels you choose to stay in probably do too. Here’s our pick of the world’s best hotels for art lovers, and some suggestions of what to see while you stay there.

Crete(克里特岛):

Minos Beach Art Hotel (米诺斯海滩艺术酒店)- This art hotel includes a glass reception desk with fish tank and apermanent (永久的)collection of sculptures from leading Greek and foreign artists.

While you’re there, take a trip to evocative(唤起记忆的) Hania Old Town(哈尼亚古城) and see artisans at work in the atmospheric little streets bordered by remnants of the Venetian city walls.

Ho Chi Minh City(胡志明市):

Art Hotel - Can’t afford the real deal? Follow the whiff of oil paint to this cheap and simple pad. Entry is through the owner’s tiny art studio-cum-shop as he pumps out skilful reproductions of Monet, Dali and Warhol.

Don’t miss the decaying grandeur of the Fine Arts Museum, housed in a French colonial building and displaying an eclectic collection from the classical periods alongside abstract and modern Vietnamese pieces.

Brussels(布鲁塞尔):

Comfort Art Hotel Siru -130 Belgian artists were each commissioned to work their magic on a room, leaving you with the choice of dreaming beneath contemporary works, classic Belgian comic-strip art or 3-D papier-mâché sculptures protruding(突出) from the walls and ceiling.

Check out the Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée (The Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art, or Comic Strip Museum), a wonderful showcase(玻璃陈列柜) for Belgium’s favourite art, housed in a 1906 Art Nouveau(新艺术) department store.

Vancouver(范库弗峰):

Listel Hotel - Vancouver’s self-described ‘art hotel’ has gallery-style art installations of original First Nations and contemporary artworks and a jazz-lovers bar.

Don’t miss the Vancouver Art Gallery, where shows by Vancouver’s internationally renowned photographers are combined with blockbuster travelling shows in this renovated courthouse. Late-night parties and a sun-drenched mezzanine-level café add to the good times here.

San Francisco(旧金山):

Hotel Des Arts(酒店艺术) - Curl up inside a painting at Hotel des Arts. Part gallery, part hotel, each room features jaw-dropping murals by different up-and-coming street artists.

While you’re there, stop in at 49 Geary. Four floors of galleries feature standout international and local works, and openings at 49 Geary are known for their raucous atmosphere and goldfish crackers.

博外话:奥斯卡·王尔德(Oscar Wilde,1854年10月16日—1900年11月30日)(又译奥斯卡·怀尔德)英国唯美主义艺术运动的倡导者,著名的作家、诗人、戏剧家、艺术家。王尔德以他急智妙答的天纵口才闻名于世,这也是我最欣赏的。他天赋的口才成了他的标签属性,他的名字就是擅长辞令口若悬河的代名词。

奥斯卡·王尔德的妙语隽言
  ◆我用一句短语包含一切体系,用一个警句归纳所有存在。
  ◆我迟早要成名的,没有美名也有恶名在外。
  ◆只有拍卖师才对所有的艺术流派一存偏见,一概推崇。
  ◆美丽的东西有了过失,要不分青红皂白地原谅它;丑陋的东西有了过失要不顾天地良心地鄙视它。
  ◆
我并没有为了钱出卖自己,我不过用重大的代价买到了成功。
  ◆现在我很快乐,所以我很肯定,我的人格已荡然无存。
