Hotel

This is one of the most conveniently placed galleries you will find for miles. The Alexander is in fact a hotel, but as a guest and as a complimentary amenity, there is art situated all over the building. In every room there is a mini gallery with a few pieces of art, which can be viewed at any time during your stay. Travellers with an appreciation for art in particular will definitely enjoy this because the time guests usually spend relaxing in the hotel can instead be spent observing spectacular works of art that is just an elevator ride away.
