This Arlésian landmark has housed everyone from Picasso and Hemingway to Cocteau and Fritz Lang. Its style is 1930s opulence: wrought-iron beds, art deco sinks, designer furniture, vintage féria posters, black-and-white Peter Beard photographs and a chichi bar and restaurant. This is not the place to stay if you baulk at paying €25 for parking and €32 for breakfast.
