And in living up to the museum part of its name, the new hotel will play a huge role in the city's burgeoning contemporary art scene. Here are some detes from the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS196100+04-Nov-2009+PRN20091104">press release</a>:<blockquote>The new 21c Museum Hotel in Cincinnati will be located adjacent to the Contemporary Arts Center and across the street from the Aronoff Center for the Arts. 21c Museum Hotels is working with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation on the restoration, juliana 2009-11-05T08:44:22-05:00 Linz: It's Your Second Chance to Sleep in A Museum http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/20/121540/738 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/Pixelhotel.jpg" class="top"> Did you miss your chance to stay in the hotel room <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/10/20/122616/91/hotels/Museum_Hotels_Guggenheim_Wants_You_to_Sleep_With_the_Art">installation</a> inside of the Guggenheim? If you're headed to Linz, the third-largest city in Austria, anytime soon then you may have another shot at spending the night within a museum. As Linz has been chosen as a European Capital of Culture for 2009, they are setting up to host a year's worth of art openings and cultural events and they intend the accomodations for the visitors to play into the experience. Enter the Pixelhotel, which is not a single building, but a consortium of converted rooms throughout the city.

Now that Carsten is scheduled to show in New York at The Guggenheim, what kind of fun interactive toy will us Yankees get? Höller is installing a hotel room! Like London's slides, the room will be interactive, welcoming guests nightly through a partnership with the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Waldorf-Astoria%20Collection">Waldorf=Astoria Collection</a>. Although reservations just opened, sadly they are already sold out; we will just have to hope that some lucky sleeper thinks to video blog the experience.
