Hospitality and art have always gone hand in hand, from artworks hung in hotels’ lobbies to pop-up galleries and whole art fairs taking over hotel rooms. The Hempel Hotel is taking the idea in yet another direction opening a permanent, independent gallery in what, until recently, was the hotel’s restaurant; it’s beautifully minimalist interiors feeling as if designed with the display of art in mind.

The gallery, brainchild of Naomi Murtagh, focuses on young and emerging artists. Adding an extra twist to your usual experience of viewing art, you can stroll through Art Work Space with a cocktail in hand, making it even more enjoyable and intoxicating!.
