More Bohemian Theme Hotels

Bohemian package tours are all the rage these days.  For 2,600 pounds you can check into the Savoy Hotel in London and follow in the footsteps of Monet.  The room comes with an easle, paints, and presumably, a brush.  For a more authentic -- and much less costly -- experience, why not visit the Chelsea?  Afterall, surely you can walk across the street to the art supply store and purchase your own easel.  And there are plenty of painters around here to provide some instruction free of charge. 

"a couple can stay two nights at one of the Savoy rooms where Monet painted 70 of his famous canvasses of the murky London skyline.  They will also get an easel, paints and the tutelage of art teacher Neil Meacher." (Source: CBC Arts, March 25, 2006)

At least they get it over at USA Today.  They recommend the Chelsea Hotel as one of the places to "feel the beat."
