If I ever have a reason to stay in a hotel in San Francisco anytime soon (mind you, I live 20 miles away), I'll be booking my reservation at Hotel Des Arts. They have rooms designed and painted by emerging artists. It would be just like staying in an art gallery and sleeping in one of the installations!
Of all the painted rooms, Kelly Tunstall's room (shown above) is, by far, my number one pick! I love the bathroom she designed/painted. I'd love to do something similar in my own home. And these are rooms I would consider as well if Kelly's room was booked:
Eric Orr, Room 508
Bask and Tes One, Room 408
Kelly Ording, Room 308
this place looks awesome - i like room 408

This an example of an artistic hotel which is rarely seen. It brings out the beauty in the atmosphere of the hotel through colors.

I have always wanted to visit this kind of hotel. It has an artistic theme that goes well with the furniture. I hope hotels will be like this because it is very lively and colorful.

i wanted to experience feeling staying at this hotel. Last month I stayed at one of the rooms there and I immediately got amazed at the designs that they applied to the rooms there.

The place is wonderfully decorated. With walls that have colorful art to the position of everything in it. I think this place should be visited often.

Wow! Nice interiors, definitely worth it. I would love to stay in a room like this because it looks relaxing and colorful at the same.
