Museum Hotels

21C

If you've ever dreamed of living inside a museum, here's your chance!

While Trendhunter.com has featured hotels that look like museums, the 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, KY actually is one, it's even funded by the International Contemporary Art Foundation!

The newly opened modern art hotel has 91 rooms that showcase incredible works of art that would be fit for a museum. It's 9,000 square feet of visual stimulation, and gives patrons the unique experience of living in the art.

And, to top it all off, it's got an incredibly restaurant that's just as cutting edge called Proof On Main.
