Set in a quiet pedestrian street in the city centre, this small arty hotel is located 200 meters from the old port and the famous fish market.

There are just 17 guestrooms, each of which is styled around a particular French painter, such as Cezanne, Van Gogh or Gauguin. Each room has soft furnishings and reproductions of famous paintings hanging on the walls. All come with marble clad bathrooms, and benefit from cable televisions and Internet connections.

The multilingual staff at the reception can assist guests with business and laundry services. There are Internet connections in the hotel's public areas, and breakfast is served in the bar area, where guests can also relax with a drink after a day's sightseeing.

Attractions such as the Cantini Museum and L'Alcazar Library are 300 and 600 metres respectively. The hotel also being close to the old port means good access to a range of watersports.
