Artful lodges: 10 beautiful art hotels in Europe

From classic to cutting edge, from London to Sicily, these lavish hotels put creativity in the frame

This new hotel is housed in the reborn Battersea power station complex. There are works displayed in the Grand Café and throughout the communal areas, from striking pieces by the hotel’s signature artist Jaime Hayon, to butter-yellow statues in the marbled lobby. Bedrooms are sleek and contemporary with pops of colour and floor-to-ceiling windows, while higher rooms offer fantastic views across the city. There are daily tours of the collection at 4pm, with the spectacular rooftop bar, pool and restaurant the ideal place for some post-culture down time.
