Rich in art history: The faade of the Art Hotel Spaander. Photos: Art Hotel Spaander
Hotels are not just for accommodation or dining. They can be mini-museums or in the case of this hotel in the Netherlands, an art museum.
IT was only when I visited the washroom that the name of Art Hotel Spaander began to make sense. The walls, including those of the cubicles, are covered in murals and paintings depicting the scenes of old Holland: Fishermen in their black hats, jackets and baggy trousers; and women and girls in their long dresses with white aprons and pointed bonnets.
