The Art Hotel Boston is one of Turin's most exciting design hotels. Housed in an Art Noveau building, it lies in the Crocetta residential area, within easy reach of the city's best bars, restaurants and shops. The hotel is something of a living museum, with works by Burri, Boetti, Castellani, Fontana, Warhol and Uncini on display throughout.

The facilities

The restaurant has a weekly-changing menu and a regional winelist. As befits such a place, the cuisine is very much of the contemporary school - expect to see regional dishes with a modern interpretation. The colourful Fibonacci bar is the place to head for pre-dinner cocktails, and looks out over the lovely garden.

The rooms

There's a total of 87 bedrooms here, all individually designed. Be aware that the Standards are much plainer than the designated 'Art Rooms'. All the rooms are equipped with air conditioning, pay TV, satellite and cable TV, and wireless internet.
