The art gallery, Kaune Contemporary, in the chapel, directly at the hotel
Good to know
At just 12m², the smallest room is minute, but designed with just as much care as all the others.
Pictorial books about design and art are everywhere. What else could you expect, since love for design shines through the whole hotel. Every single piece of furniture has been specially selected. Some design classics and photographs even come from the owner’s personal collection.
