Sneak Peek at Hotel Murano Glass Art Coming Soon

Posted by Dale on October 17th, 2007

Renovation continues apace here at my favorite hotel in the Puget Sound. Personally, I’m amazed at the soon-to-be former Tacoma Sheraton’s transformation into a world class tourist destination. With its black-and-white-themed modernist decor, tricked out room amenities like iPod docking stations and cutting edge (no pun intended) glass art, Hotel Murano will truly be a landmark for Tacoma. Speaking of the glass art that will become part of the scene here, there’s finally a chance to see some of those amazing pieces. A show has been organized by the Tessa Papas, art curator for Hotel Murano. (How many hotels can boast having one of those?) Key items will be on display at a gallery in Portland. I’ll let you know the who, what, when, why and where as soon as I find out.

    Sounds spectacular. Someday I’d love to sneak a peak at the hotel.

    I know you enjoyed our Halloween pages, so I just stopped by to tell you I’ve put up the first version of our Christmas pages at Tacomamama:
