Kinky. Like the rest of the hotel, the spa's decor features carved stone artwork and lots of illuminated wood. The hotel calls it a: <blockquote> A modern lifestyle club guiding you on a personal journey to discover your own path to peace, serenity, and complete well being. </blockquote> We don't know if it's the verbose marketing copy, but we're already half-asleep. The spa fuses ancient Chinese, Malay, and European treatment and meditation techniques into its services. Yup, we're almost on our way to sleepland but this bit perks us up.

If staying in hotels where artists have gone wild in the design process is your thing, then Budget Travel has just published the ideal art hotel round-up for you. Their list features hotels across three continents that have just one thing in common: every room is a grand work of art where you should expect the unexpected.

In the Netherlands, for example, the St Christopher's at the Winston, has now retreated from its previously far, far out art that included animal corpses to room designs with highly energetic walls and paintings (pictured above)--interesting to look at, but we're not sure if we could get any sleep.
