Rosemont: Swanky InterContinental Chicago O'Hare Now Open

Swanky airport hotels tend to win our hearts. Like, we love a great hotel and all, but when the airport hotel manages to be a "great hotel" without prompting that little "...for an airport hotel" clause to be tacked onto the end, we feel as though we've struck the hotel-geek version of gold -- for reference, see the lovefest we bestowed upon the Grand Hyatt DFW Airport.

That said, we have super-high hopes for the brand new InterContinental Chicago O'Hare, a 556-room hotel and conference center that opened up around Chicago's O'Hare airport today.

We first heard about the Casa Dell'Arte in Bodrum, Turkey from the Travel + Leisure list of this year's top 30 new hotels, and now we can see for certain it made this list for a good reason.

Casa Dell'Arte--"Hotel of Arts and Leisure", as the website says--is a genuine art hotel, run by a family who also have an art gallery in Istanbul.

There are frescoes on walls, cherubs on the ceilings and artworks galore throughout the hotel. It's kind of like going sightseeing around Florence but without actually having to go anywhere.We were a bit scared when we clicked over to look at

Jenna — 2008-08-14T12:21:29-05:00

We were browsing Apartment Therapy when we came across this kickass shot of the spectacular Salvador Dali Room at the Artists Inn Residence Bed and Breakfast in Washington, D.C.'s Dupont Circle.

The guest rooms at this B&B are all (duh) arts-themed: William Shakespeare, Katharine Hepburn, Duke Ellington, Mozart, Da Vinci, and Monet also have rooms dedicated to them.
