The Andhra Art & Craft Hotel

3 art-centric hotels to visit in China, Australia and India - SilverKris

"Opened in January 2019 on the same property as the Palm Beach Hotel, this 24-room heritage property showcases the traditional arts and crafts of Andhra Pradesh with around 70 sculptures and 50 installations created by more than 30 native artisans. Divided into four wings that honor different crafts, the Budithi wing highlights intricate brass-work and temple-inspired room details like brass bells and mini prayer bowls; the Kalamkari wing incorporates hand-painted textiles into wardrobe handles and bathroom glass panels; the Etikoppaka wing echoes handmade wooden toys painted with natural dyes in headboard designs; and the Tholu Bommalata wing references shadow-puppet theatre through embossed characters on canvases and colorful glass elements on mirrors." - Pan Haili, Kiran Mehta, and Vanessa Tai
