The "BnA" portion of the hotel's name stands for the Bed and Art Project, which seeks to immerse travelers in the work of local artists. The unique new approach to hospitality is heavily influenced by the locavore movement, while it also aims to make finding affordable accommodations in Tokyo a little easier. The BnA Hotel Tokyo is essentially an art gallery available to rent as an accommodation option, with it now being available for booking on P2P lodgings platform [Airbnb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/base-kamogawa). The Bed and Art Project's facilities include a mixture of permanent wall murals and temporary exhibitions from local artists. The BnA Hotel Tokyo's first independent location features breathtaking murals from artists such as Ryuichi Ogino and Yohei Takahashi. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Hospitality:** The blending of art and hospitality in hotels creates an immersive experience for travelers. - **Locavore Influence:** The locavore movement inspires hotels to showcase the work of local artists. - **Art Gallery Accommodations:** Hotels transforming into art galleries offer unique and personalized experiences for guests. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Hotels can incorporate art and local culture to differentiate themselves and attract guests. - **Art:** Artists and galleries can collaborate with hotels to showcase their work and reach a broader audience. - **Travel:** Travel agencies and platforms can promote these art-focused accommodations as a creative travel option. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stationery-Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-fontaine-haneda-airport.md) - [Tokyo-Inspired Contemporary Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trunkhotel-cat-street.md) - [Experiential Workshop Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keio-plaza-hotel-tokyo.md) - [Immersive Hotel Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobu-hotel-los-cabos.md) - [Central Tokyo Penthouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellustar-tokyo.md) - [Cultural Japa Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japa-valley.md) - [City-Overlooking Tranquil Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellustar.md) - [Immersive Hotel Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-art-installation.md) - [Unique Rotating Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/numu-boutique-hotel.md)
