# Street Artist-Decorated Lodges The Classical Baby Grand Hotel Brings a Touch of NYC to Athens By Meghan Young | Published 2012-05-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classical-baby-grand-hotel References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2012/05/street-art-hotel-rooms.html) & [classicalhotels](http://www.classicalhotels.com/babygrandhotel/) The Classical Baby Grand Hotel brings "a sense of New York in the heart of Athens" thanks to custom decorated rooms that were conceived and created by 10 contemporary artists. Hailing from urban art backgrounds including graffiti, graphic design and illustration, these international artists elaborate on the tendency of boutique hotels to individually decorate their limited number of rooms. Ranging in various styles, the rooms offered by the Classical Baby Grand Hotel will appeal to many, especially those who like to party, according to Conde Nast. From [psychedelic lobbies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claridges-hotel) with repurposed Mini Coopers as front desks to minimalist, illustrated rooms, the Classical Baby Grand Hotel is vibrant, fun and full of energy--not to mention luxurious. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Boutique Hotel Customization:** Boutique hotels are increasingly differentiating themselves through custom room designs and decor. - **Urban Art in Hospitality:** More hotels are utilizing urban artists to create unique and creative guest experiences. - **Luxury Party Hotels:** Hotels are catering to party-goers by offering highly designed, trendy accommodations. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Boutique and luxury hotels can partner with urban artists to add a unique twist to their properties. - **Art and Design:** Urban artists can expand their reach and gain new clients by applying their skills to the hospitality industry. - **Event Planning and Nightlife:** Event planners and partygoers can benefit from the rise of luxury, design-forward party hotels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Classically Inspired Localized Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-henrietta.md) - [Greece-Inspired Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-palm.md) - [Industrial Intimate Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mona-athens.md) - [Eccentric Soho Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-brudnizki.md) - [Luxuriously Artistic Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/child-studio1.md) - [Artful Updated 70s Apartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-curators-apartment.md) - [Retro Nightlife-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htel-chteau-deau.md) - [Revitalized Retro Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-los-monteros-hotel.md) - [Elegantly Immersive Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-hotel-new-york.md)
