Regal's Cinema Art at Downtown West (which must certainly be a contender for longest theatre name) originally opened as AMC's four-screen Downtown West Theatre. The original design was typical of the period, two screens on each side of a wide rectangular lobby and candy counter centered, offices and storage directly behind. It was expanded to eight screens by adding four small auditoria across the back of the facility. Regal bought the theatre during their early years and operated a policy of first run film. When Regal built the extravagant new West Town Mall 9 a couple of blocks away, they changed the policy on this hall to art films and smaller grossing first run fare. The name was changed - or rather expanded - to reflect the product shown here.

Admirably, Regal spent some money to clean up and redecorate the Downtown West lobby. While the auditoria are more or less unchanged (featureless curtains on the walls, regular sloped floors, recessed can lights in the black, lay-in tile ceilings) the lobby areas feature art by local artists and some interesting light fixtures.

There is neither a marquee on this building, nor a road sign. In fact, there is no name sign on the building. It only says "Regal" on the front. The front sidewalk is covered by a back-lit canvas awning.
