# Museum Hotels 21C By Bianca | Published 2008-05-07 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-hotels-21c References: [21cmuseumhotel](http://www.21cmuseumhotel.com/overview/default.aspx) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-oceans-marathon)! The newly opened [modern art hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobu-hotel-los-cabos) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Museum-hotels:** Hotel designs incorporating museums and art galleries offer the hotel industry innovation opportunities. - **Art-inspired-interior-design:** Art-inspired interior design as part of the hospitality industry will create new opportunities. - **Art-branded-restaurants:** Art-branded restaurants offer diners entirely unique experiences, providing opportunities and differentiation for the restaurant sector. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The Hospitality industry can incorporate artistic displays in their hotels to provide patrons with an experience they will never forget. - **Interior-design:** The incorporation of art in interior design can add a unique touch to hotels and other hospitality spaces, giving interior designers an opportunity for creativity and innovation. - **Fine-dining:** The food and restaurant sector could tap into the art world, opening up more creative and unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Local Heritage-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-manchester-hotel.md) - [Hotel Art Openings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claridges-hotel.md) - [Immersive Hotel Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-art-installation.md) - [Tokyo-Inspired Contemporary Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trunkhotel-cat-street.md) - [Mansion-Topped Surreal Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marison-heler.md) - [Sensory Museum Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-museum.md) - [Unique Rotating Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/numu-boutique-hotel.md) - [Liveable Artful Pop-Up Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julie-cloos-mlsgaard.md) - [Traditional Southern-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-de-la-luz.md)
