WHAT DO YOU ASSOCIATE WITH HOTEL MOTTO VIENNA?

A word? The first that comes to mind is in French: séduisante (= seductive).

YOU'RE A MOTTO FRIEND, WHAT CONNECTS YOU WITH US?

For the Motto hotel in Vienna I created the murals shown in the lobby and on some walls. A rhythmic, a dance of Bellboys in pink uniforms that rotates madly and elegantly around the guests of the Hotel. Entering and seeing your work dialogue with the architecture and the furnishings is impressive. It seems like it has always been there, and that the Hotel Motto is exactly its ideal setting.

WHAT ARE YOUR 5 VIENNA INSIDER TIPS FOR OUR GUESTS?

During my visits to the city I am accompanied by Viennese friends around restaurants and cafés. For an Italian, eating well is fundamental, a moment of shared pleasure, and the Viennese flavors and scents are an unmissable revelation. But I am an art historian, and for me the museums, the architecture of the Secession, Klimt are an even stronger call. The Museum of Applied Arts, the MAK is one of the most inspiring museums I have ever seen.
