"Our base in Arles is the excellent hotel Arlatan. Designed by the Cuban-American artist Jorge Pardo, it opened in 2018 and is a mood improver, a joyous mix of colors and textures. The floors are decorated with swirling tiles, both Moorish and mod. Its lights and wall sconces are laser-cut plastic — a bit floral, a bit like underwater creatures. I love the feel of Arles. Human-scale, warm, friendly." - Travel + Leisure Editors
