"Our friend and legendary artist Donald Robertson created this Sunset Tower inspired wallpaper print exclusively for the hotel, and it can now be yours for a $1k donation, Sunset Tower Hotel wrote on its donation page.
Celebrities such as Antoni Porowski from Netflix's series "Queer Eye" can be seen posing in front of the one-of-a-kind art made exclusively for the hotel by Donald Robertson.
"You'll be as gorgeous on the inside as you are on the outside!" Robertson told potential donors on the hotel's Instagram account.
He's credited for starting the fundraiser with help from Jeff Klein of JK Hotel Group.
"It is just a nice way to show your support," Klein told FOX Business on Thursday, adding that his parents even purchased some for their guest bathroom.
Digital prints of the wallpaper are typically a $5,000 value. The physical wallpaper can be purchased, too, and produced based on measurements for an additional cost.
