One of the most impressive rooms is suite 500/501, or just known as “Regis and Bloum” suite. In 2005 Regis was approached by the hotel owner to paint one of the suites. Regis accepted the proposal and invited another local artist, Bloum, to collaborate with him on this project. The artists used a mix of two and three dimensional work in the rooms.

Facing Bloum's wall is a wall painted by artist Regis Silva . It is painted as a red brick wall, with a big half circle window. A large than life woman with curly hair is stands in the center of window. The entire wall is a two-dimensional painting, with the exception of the woman standing in the window, whose face and breasts protrude from the wall, displaying her presence in the room, full of color and life. The background of the window is an image of a beach and the sea, and the whole window and personage were painted with a mixture of fabrics, and other materials.

The bedroom, with two queen beds, was transformed to art by both Regis and Bloum. They mixed their style in an elegant form, complementing each other’s work. It is a fusion of ideas that becomes one piece, making the mind think that it belongs to one artist. The room is absolutely beautiful with its tone of color and sophisticated design. The wall behind the beds is painted a bright tone of orange that is shiny like glitter. The headboards are painted on the walls as an arch, and inside the arches, Bloum's added her unique style. On the opposite wall, Regis created a colorful resemblance of the sea and it’s unknown creatures. Also, throughout this wall, Bloum used bags with labels such as Target and the Thank You that we see all around.

The bathroom didn’t escape the artists’ brushes. It is painted red and black with some distinctive symbols, and miniature baby dolls are perched on top of the cabinet. Closets and doors were also painted. The entrance doors are painted with blue and sienna colors, a resemblance of a landscape. One of the doors contains the work of Bloum, while Regis made a three dimensional woman's bust and face on the other door.

Hotel des Arts is a boutique hotel in San Francisco, California. When it opened in 2005, 16 of its 51 rooms were painted by local artists–today 38 rooms are. Materials used include wall-mounted vinyl records, plastic bags, graffiti, fabrics, three-dimensional art work, and even installations.

Rooms

Room 404, painted by Tim Gaskin, was the source of some controversy. The walls are adorned with larger-than-life Louis Vuitton logos as well as an image of Madonna. Louis Vuitton sent a cease-and-desist letter to the hotel ordering them to remove the logos, but the hotel refused and instead held a special public exhibition to display the room. Now the hotel's website has a disclaimer on the page for the room, which states, "Please Note: Room 404 is painted with fine art murals by Tim Gaskin. Hotel des Arts is in no way associated with any of the companies or celebrities whose trademarks and likenesses appear in the murals."
