    Include a tour of Hotel Murano’s art collection while you’re here

    Posted by Danielle on June 19th, 2009

    Dale, I loved the “the art of meeting people’s needs” line. It actually got me thinking about our art. So after writing about the Neddy Fellowship the other day I took a little tour of our collection. I’d never done that if you can believe it! I recommend it, especially to any employees like me who really checked it out.

    Here are some of my favorites. In case you want to include them in your itinerary.

    Grand Corridor
    Specimen Block by Steffen Dam: It’s like a puzzle that you could look at for hours.

    Lobby
    Fish Lures by Rick Beck: They’re just fun. I’m lucky I can seem them all day from reception.

    Floor 4, Bite Restaurant
    Totem by Costas Varotsos: It’s amazing the way he managed to use both glass and stainless steel.

    Floor 24

    Iceberg by Peter Bremers: This one is incredible because of all the research he did. See the pictures showing his process.

    Visit us and you’re sure to find some favorites of your own!

    Have fun,
    Danielle

      Thanks Eugene! I’d have to agree with you there about the hallway. Here’s some info on the artisit if you’re interested:

      His name is Dante Marioni and he lives in the Seattle area. He’s been doing glass art in the Pacific Northwest for a while now after attending the Pilchuck School in the mid 1980’s. His art is strongly influenced by Venetian tradition and can even be found in major collections and museums throughout the world, including the Corning Museum of Glass and The Smithsonian Institute.

      But why travel the world when you can see it in our hotel, right? Thanks for reading and hopefully we’ll see you soon!
