Another list with special hotels this time by SweetyDesign. They show hotels with photos of their interior. We already know a couple of them from lists in the past but it included a few new hotels. Like the Boat Hotel in New Zealand and the Anantara hotel in the Golden Triangle in Thailand. The photos are from the Museumotel (spotted in 2006) in France. Each bubble has its own decor.

Tony Plant is a time based, environmental artist and photographer whose imagination stretches to the corners of the coastline in the UK. For over 20 years he has made Guerrilla style installations in sand, snow or rocks. These paintings in sand are washed away by tide. With the gorgeous beaches in The Netherlands as well we could keep competitions like who makes the best temporary painting instead of sandsculptures. And for hotels with privat beaches, this kind of art can be done during cleaning the beach in the morning. It will make your guests smile. Watch the movie about the making of a sandpainting. Also see Beach pattern in Spain.
