Hotel Murano Staycation - The Art

I can't claim to be particularly knowledgeable about particular artists or pieces but I do know what I like. Aside from enjoying our room and food experience, the art through out the Hotel Murano is fantastic. No corner is left without the touch of creativity that blown, molded, or other types of glass provides. Even lighting, lamps, door handles, and signage for coat hangers and bathrooms were pieces worthy of display in any gallery or museum. On our last morning there Sarah and I took the stairs up through every floor, criss-crossing from one stairwell to another to view the hallway of art and "making of" shots in between.

Rather than blather on, here are some images of the art at this "sleepover art museum". And, of course, don't forget the mighty Orizon outside.

Kevin,
Thanks for the great pictures. What a spectacular addition to our community. If this doesn't fill beds, I don't know what it would take. Perhaps now the Russell visitors can stay in town! You were right on with the moniker you gave me months ago-"the old new Tacoman". I enjoy your photographs immensely. Thanks.

It's a beautiful place, that's for sure michael. More photos of this and whatever the heck I see to come!

I just had to pop in and say THANK YOU!! My husband decided to try Hotel Murano thanks to your blog and took me there for my birthday this weekend and it was FABULOUS!! On top of all of the awesomeness of the hotel, he booked a Glass Package which included a lesson in Blown Glass Art, at the Tacoma Glass Studio, so I got to try something new and bring home a bit of art, to boot! It's great we have awesome places right in our own backyard!

PS: awesome photo's, btw!
