Practically every inch of this mother-and-son-run hotel, inside and out, is covered with art – sculptures, poetry, photographs and paintings – all of it by the incredibly prolific Kublai Millan, who has transformed an otherwise ordinary building into a funky vision of hospitality. Rooms are ordinary motel quality, but the Gaudi–esque rooftop is the whimsical highlight of the Ponce Suites.
The lobby and bathrooms have been renovated and a half-day 'Kublai Art Tour' is offered. It's on a quiet block next door to a tennis club.
