Swedish Hotel Now Accepting Artwork as Payment for Rooms

In a promotion that seems itself to a form of art, a hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, has announced that it will now accept art as payment for staying in its rooms. The Clarion Hotel took its inspiration from the Chelsea Hotel in New York, which set up similar barter arrangements with its well-known guests. "It all started with the fact that our general manager's grandfather was an artist," marketing manager Tess Mattisson tells The Local.
