Usually the phrase "hotel art" is about as appealing as "office art" - drab, off-the-shelf pieces of nowhere landscapes in pastels, or random shapes and textures that are meant to be non-offensive placeholder alternatives to bare walls altogether. But not at Maroma.
I mentioned earlier that the main building of the hotel itself used to be a private residence and the team went to great pains to make sure that it still continues to look - and feel - that way still. These photos don't do it justice but I couldn't stop admiring the paintings and would often go down to the main building just to look at them again (and no, they didn't sell them in the gift shop). I never did find out the name of the artist and whether these are even remotely possible to acquire - yet another thing to go back for...
Art belonging to Orient-Express Maroma Resort. Artist Unknown.
