The outside of this boutique hotel looks like an Italian villa, with columns and arches, a dormer roof, and bougainvillea-draped balconies. Inside, though, the feeling is more modern California, with gauzy bed canopies and colorful walls. Some rooms overlook a lush central courtyard, others have fireplaces or four-poster beds; all suites have private terraces. Pros: Great location, Mediterranean feel. Cons: Busy, business clientele.
