🌸 💡 21c Museum Hotels heads to Indianapolis as Ennismore signs largest gallery space to date. Our thoughts at Journal des Palaces: The 21c Museum Hotel Indianapolis is an exciting project for the luxury hotel industry, illustrating how the integration of art can transform the guest experience into a complete cultural immersion. By merging a hotel and a museum, 21c offers travellers much more than accommodation, by creating a space where contemporary art is omnipresent, from the rooms to the common areas, right through to the dining areas. This innovative model of the hotel experience not only enriches the tourist appeal of the destination, but also creates a real emotional connection with visitors, stimulating curiosity and discovery throughout their stay 👏👏    Read more about this news on Journal des Palaces 👇  https://lnkd.in/eA958Xww       #ennismore #hotelopening #journaldespalaces #TheHeartofLuxuryHospitality  📸 Photo credit: Ennismore
