The Sans Souci Hotel in Vienna, Australia opened in December of last year. The boutique hotel is the perfect hotspot for art lovers, feasting modern furnishings alongside show stopping art masterpieces by artists like Steve Kaufman, Roy Lichtenstein, and Allen Jones. Over half the art featured in the hotel is from the owner’s private collection, providing a rare opportunity for guests to view a one-of-a-kind gallery.
Allen Jones, one of the hotel’s feature artists, is a British pop-artist best known for his sculptures. His art is proactive, erotic and innovative. He features themes of women, rubber fetishism, and BDSM. His sculptures often double as furniture including tables and chairs. The style of artwork he created was used in the hit movie A Clockwork Orange, even though it was designed by another artist since Allen Jones turned down the offer to produce the movie’s art over a financial disagreement.
Steve Kaufman, another featured artist in the Sans Souci, is one of the most American pop artists in history. Once the assistant to Andy Warhol, Steve Kaufman has become an iconic pop artist in his own right, creating works that feature celebrities, cigars, movies, and found options. His work celebrates pop culture and uses vibrant colors. Steve Kaufman directly paints on each screen print, creating not only a beautiful piece of mixed media but also making each canvas a one-of-a-kind original.
Roy Lichtenstein, the third premier artists whose artwork decorates the Sans Souci hotel, was also a prominent American pop artist during the 1960s. His artwork featured old-fashioned comic strips that were as humorous as they were beautiful. His art was a critique on modern American popular culture.
The hotel is located in the perfect area for its target clientele. The Sans Souci is in the artsy Spittelberg district near the Volkstheater. Nearby are a number of art galleries and museums including the Leopold Museum, the Kinsthalle Wien, the Museum of Art (Kunsthistorisches Museum, KHM.) It is also a short two minute walk away from Mariahilferstrasse, Vienna’s largest shopping district.
The boutique hotel has 63 rooms complete with parquet floors, designer furnishings, gold mural, marble bathrooms and steam showers. Each room is uniquely styled with individualized furniture and art. The art collection is also displayed in the public areas of the hotel for your viewing pleasure. Inside the hotel is also a state of the art Spa club, a wellness oasis. It has two treatment rooms, 2 saunas, a steam bath, a sun bank, a fitness room, and a swimming pool.
The Sans Souci hotel in Vienna is a Mecca of all things modern: Modern art, modern design, and modern luxury. The hotel is equally well suited to lovers of art and lovers of all things trendy. The location and styling blend together seamlessly. This hotel offers a one of a kind experience uniquely tailored to the trendy, art-loving, and fashion forward jet set crowd. Vienna is a city that has historically been on the cutting edge of art and fashion, and the Sans Souci hotel is another example of the city’s embrace of the modern era.
