The Palm Beach Hotel, a sister concern of LeSutra, Mumbai, has launched its heritage wing, the Andhra Arts and Crafts Hotel. The new wing, a ‘Microcosm of Andhra’ in itself, boasts around 70 sculptures and 50 art installations that weave in the narrative of Andhra’s arts and crafts within the passages, corridors and residential areas of the hotel, making it the world’s first handicrafts hotel.

Designed exclusively by Andhra national award winning artisans, interior designers, craftsmen and sculptors the property for the very first time has all its rooms themed on craft forms like Tholu Bommalata or leather shadow puppetry, Budithi brass work, Kalamkari pen art and Etikoppaka toys to create an evolved aesthetic expression encompassing the #HeartofAndhra.

  The Andhra Arts and Crafts Hotel has been conceptualized and designed by Le Sutra as its third landmark project. The other two being the world’s first Indian Art Hotel and Tribal Art Homes, both of which are in suburban Mumbai and are recognized for tastefully projecting and elevating the myriad art forms interspersed across India and transforming rooms into cheerful colours to brighten the mood of the guests. With the 24 boutique rooms, the property has joined the global ranks of the 50 art hotels, informed Sandeep Reddy, GM, Spokesperson, Andhra Art & Craft Hotel.
