Precedent: Byblos Art Hotel

...this pale ocher mansion is enjoying a second renaissance—as a five-star hotel showcasing the spectacular furniture, paintings, photography, and sculpture assembled by Dino Facchini, creator of the fashion label Byblos. "Our idea was to make it a small curated museum of contemporary art and design," Facchini says. "We have about 300 pieces, and everything is listed on the walls of each room."
