Magnificent views


According to the season, in which nature displays a colorful aspect, there is also a "change of scenery" at the ARCOTEL John F Berlin.

The white neutral corridor between the TOWN BAR and Restaurant FOREIGN AFFAIRS was beautyfully decorated with new images. The printed designs on canvas show details from various hotels of the ARCOTEL group and close-ups from the world of gastronomy. The pictures are accompanied by typical ARCOTEL Hotel slogans.

In addition to the pictures exotic plants in elegant vases complete the atmosphere.
People walkling by can grace through the large panoramic windows and admire our gallery, as it is called by our guests and us. The positive response of our guests and the consistently good feedback of our staff show that one can do a lot with very little effort.

ARCOTEL hotels set to continue Art & Culture activities
The ARCOTEL Rubin Hamburg proudly presents works by Walter Wittmann

Located on Steindamm in Hamburg, the ARCOTEL Rubin is proud to host its first Art & Culture event in the course of which the hotel will be the first to present paintings from the estate of the late Austrian artist Walter Wittmann to a Hamburg audience.

The Austrian painter, who died last year, is considered a master of simplicity who managed to express the complexity of his work by means of a clear and reduced style that makes his paintings appear particularly straightforward and unadorned. From 12th November 2010, six of Wittmann's most well known works will be on permanent display in the ARCOTEL Rubin's crystal bar.

"By exhibiting Wittmann's impressive paintings, which were provided on a permanent loan basis, the ARCOTEL Rubin for the first time partakes in the Art & Culture project. We consider it one of our missions to promote the arts", says Manfred Mayer, CEO of the ARCOTEL Hotel AG, when asked for the reasons behind ARCOTEL'S dedication. The day of 12th November 2010 will, furthermore, mark the beginning of a series of exhibitions that will be organised in the ARCOTEL Rubin and changed on a quarterly basis.
