It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Art Basel

Where: 1530 Collins Avenue [map], Miami Beach, fl, United States, 33139

That's right folks. It's that time of the year again when Miami Beach hotel rates sky rocket, rooms are sold-out and if you manage to get some lodging, a minimum of three nights are required at most hotels. It's Art Basel!

From December 6th to the 9th, Miami Beach will be overtaken by art, artists, art lovers, art dealers, art stealers and anything else arts-related. While the main event of this international art fair takes place at the Miami Beach Convention Center, there are tons of displays and exhibits throughout the city and especially at the hotels.

The Aqua Hotel on Collins Avenue (above) is hosting a satellite show for the third year in a row. Called Aqua Art Miami, the artwork hang on hotel walls, beds and are in even in the bathrooms. An added perk for hotel groupies? The artists hang out in the hotel's courtyard and, as the NYT reports, the hot tub.

And this is probably the closest you will get to staying at the hotel. We gave them a ring today and naturally, they are completely sold out next week.

Got a hotel art show tip? Or do you know of discounted hotel rooms for next week? Let us see your brush strokes.
