Jazz, Art Deco ironwork, and caged birds set the Latin tone at this bohemian, family-run, shabby-chic urban hotel. Whitewash and scrubbed concrete set off 1930s details and trendy flea-market finds. Bathrooms have newish tiles, and amenities are reasonably up-to-date. Its Spanish restaurant serves tapas on the pedestrian Place d'Assas, but the lobby bar is where you'd expect to run across Picasso slumming over absinthe.
