Set in one
of Casa's architectural gems, the decor at this 1922 hotel is all a bit over the top. Popular
with tour groups, it has a snack bar, a shady outdoor seating area and comfortable, but
fairly plain, bedrooms. Avoid the 1st floor, as it gets the brunt of noise from the popular
and very rowdy piano bar and nightclub. There are several newly decorated suites. Staff
are keen to tell you that Édith Piaf was a resident and Telly Savalas of
Kojak
fame sucked
his lollipop here.

The lovely terrace, pool and garden make up for the dated, stand-
ard rooms at this small, family-run hotel on the Corniche. Many rooms have ocean views
though, and it's cheaper than most along this waterfront strip. There's plenty of space and
a playground, which makes it a good bet if you're travelling with children.
