Dedicated to deep thinkers and philosophers, this 38 room boutique hotel has been inspired by the great minds of history. Each room features a particular philosophical theme, inspired by greats like Plato and Goethe, and the theme is reflected in the murals, framed quotations and poems, and trompe-l’oeil paintings on the walls.
Among the themes is a Zen room inspired by Yin and Yang. In the dining area, guests dine on placemats inscribed with philosophical words of wisdom.
There’s also an extensive library, a garden and meditation rooms where aspiring great thinkers can ponder the mysteries of the universe … or why the 3 Musketeers in the minibar costs $12.
