Tagging Isn't Just Allowed, It's Encouraged at the Marmara Antalya

Where: Eski Lara Yolu, No. 136, Antalya, Turkey

We can't be the only ones who have daydreamed about unleashing our inner rebel in the form of graffiti art. We've long admired the medium, but have stopped short of spray painting freeway overpasses or surreptitiously leaving our mark on train cars late at night.

However, thanks to the Marmara Antalya would-be Banksys are being given a safe space to turn graffiti dreams into reality. In its light-filled hotel lobby, tagging isn't just allowed; it's encouraged.

With a revolving loft, rooms that resemble hyper-modern beach homes, splashes of pink that aren't too precious, and an indoor wall-climbing column, it's clear the hotel is on top of its design game. So, incorporating guest-created graffiti art is merely an extension of the Marmara's already avant garde aesthetic.

Sadly, the uber-radical among you can't go totally wild; you'll have to stick to the designated graf column, though you're invited to "freely" spray paint your thoughts and impressions of the hotel on it.

With this kind of open forum, we can't imagine the staff would miss too many beats in terms of service�not unless they want a scathing, possibly obscene blurb painted well within view of other guests.
