Someone went to town when they designed this aggressively artsy hotel. We love the foyer area with its melting wax-like columns, the graffiti in the public areas and the cartoon-like art in the bedrooms. Best thing is that all the artworks were produced by emerging local talent. Comfortable, clean and good value.
