Hotel des Arts: Painted Rooms

Posted on April 22, 2005 Under Art

The custom boutique hotels around the world all took notice to the Hotel des Arts in the heart of San Francisco’s downtown Union Square when it launched last year. Last year they showed their project called “Painted Rooms” at the “art hotel” with 16 custom painted rooms from people like David Choe and David DeRosa, among others. This year they’ve come back adding an additional dozen more rooms including painted rooms by Josh Feldman, The Vinyl Killers, Bryan Dawson and Maya Hayuk. Their roster of top notch underground and emerging artist created rooms is totally impressive–and the sky is the limit here–they say watch out for future painted rooms from folks like Shepard Fairey (Obey), and Dalek.
