Hotel Au Vieux Panier

Be still my heart. While this hotel room may cause some of you a panic attack it has me chomping at the bits to get on a plane and reserve a room. The Half Graffiti Room at hotel Au Vieux Panier is just about the coolest thing I have ever seen. Not only is it mind blowing that they created a completely two-sided room but the graffiti is out of this world. However, as excited as it makes me it appears I am three years too late!

Hotel Au Vieux Panier, located in Marseille France is one of the most badass hotels I have ever read about. The hotels concept is six rooms for six artists. The idea is to offer an artist a three-dimensional canvas and have people sleep in an artwork. They believe it gives the opportunity to visitors to see art in a different way, entering an artist’s universe. Every year the hotel calls for entries and then selects the most striking and interesting universe. Each year for about a month the hotel is closed and the new artists begin work on their creations. The idea that rooms change yearly is incredibly cool, however, I am a bit sad I am so late to the game! I would have loved a chance to stay in this room!
