We just stayed in an art museum, the Byblos Art Hotel, Villa Amista, outside Verona, Italy. Mr. Byblos of the Byblos clothing company is an avid art collector of contemporary art. Some years back, he purchased a 16th century villa to convert into a hotel/art gallery. It's fascinating, rather as if Tim Burton and Andy Warhol had been let loose on its interior. Staff calls the collection contemporary. I'd call it mod. Look for yourself. The hotel is a member of the Small Leading Hotels and is now partnered with Hyatt.
