There's no need to go to a museum to admire works of art while on vacation. Now the artworks come to you, right in your hotel room. In recent years, hotels have transformed themselves into veritable galleries, offering their guests genuine artistic experiences.

The idea of sleeping just inches away from a masterpiece can be a particularly exciting proposition. Cultural institutions like France's Fondation CAB have understood this, and are giving art lovers the chance to extend their visit by spending the night among the artworks.
