For over 25 years London’s Saatchi Gallery has produced the city’s most popular exhibitions: a 1985 Andy Warhol show, the unforgettable 1992 Damien Hirst spectacle, and last year’s group sculpture show featuring works by Folkert de Jong, John Baldessari, and David Altmejd. Now you can sleep in a room surrounded by pieces from the gallery’s collection. Just ask for the Saatchi Gallery Suite at the Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill. (And get your wallet out: Accomodations cost  £700 [$1,100] a night.)

Walk into the suite and you’ll see Carla Busuttil’s “Mr. Showerhead” painting hanging over Jaime Hayon’s FAVN sofa. Steve Bishop’s “Jean Paul Gaultier — Classique (Arctic Fox)” sculpture sits just to the right. Venture past Arne Jacobsen Egg and Swan chairs to admire Ronin Cho’s interactive knocking door, titled “We Know This But We Just Don’t Know How to Show It,” at the bedroom’s entrance. Just above the bed are five of Jill Mason’s mind-bending landscapes. Even the bathroom contains art: Celine Fitoussi covered it with a wall-to-wall soap installation, while a Hadrian Piggot 18-inch sculpture of a bar of soap, called “Slip It to Me” sits on a shelf above the toilet. A Jessica Craig-Martin photograph shows high-heeled feet peeking out of bathroom stalls.

The Saatchi Gallery partnership also involves three exhibitions at the hotel throughout the year. The first, “One Giant Leap,” features Stella Vine’s homage to former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, a painting of her with her husband Denis Thatcher, and Christina Mackie’s life-sized hippopotamus sculpture. As for the suite, hurry up and book it now; guests only have until April 30 to stay there.
