A looooong time ago I stayed at the Westin Atlanta. Above the bed they had a 6' wide black-and-white photo of the skyline of Atlanta. After the stay, on a whim, I emailed the general inbox for the hotel asking where they got the photo. The GM emailed me back saying they were about to renovate and many were being trashed. He offered to mail me one (without the frame) at no cost. I was floored.

More hotels are going towards local artwork, or at least local photography. I like these much more than the abstract art seen in many places.
