The Artist Grand Hotel of Art presents itself as a living museum where bold, contemporary design and generous proportions set a sensory tone. Arrival is theatrical, with the Fossil Cypress rising through the atrium and a rooftop terrace framing panoramic views of the Guggenheim. Even quieter moments feel curated, from the design-library reading corner to evenings in the Art Deco Sixty-One Lobby Bar.

Amazing location- quiet, clean and an incredible rooftop bar. We loved our stay and would highly recommend. Rooms were spacious with plenty of storage.
This is a very beautiful hotel. The fitness center was super nice along with the breakfast in the morning. Hotel is walking distance to Old Town. Would love to stay again.
Staff were great, Rooms were great, bar was really nice, although spirits were very expensive, only disappointment is the roof top pool was much smaller than we expected.
Outstanding staff. Conveniently located across from Guggenheim Museum. Breakfast buffet pricey, but worth the price to get custom eggs/omelettes. Rooftop bar & restaurant wonderful.
Location of hotel is amazing overlooking the Guggenheim… sunset views from rooftop deck are without equal .
Such great service at all levels thru house maids,desk staff,wait staff in all restaurants and bars … also PARKING!
Wonderful hotel and fabulous staff who are so helpful and lovely! Breakfast is superb! Fantastic location to the Guggenheim and lots of great restaurants and bars.
Fantastic hotel in an unbeatable location right beside the Guggenheim. You can walk everywhere easily. The rooms were spacious, modern and very comfortable. The staff were brilliant throughout. The rooftop bar is a real highlight with amazing views. Would definitely stay here again.
This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms were spacious and impeccable, and the staff was extremely helpful. They literally anticipated needs. We parked our car in the hotel garage and every time we needed it during our stay, there were fresh bottles of water in the car. There was also always new bottled water in the room, along with nightly chocolate surprises. We stayed over Fourth of July and found America themed cupcakes in our room.
