This hotel true to its namesake, was recently named as one of the top nine "Best New Design Hotels" in the world!

Originally a Travelodge, the inn was recently made over by Philadelphia's SLDesign, which mixed vintage and modern--Eames chairs, Modernica stools there--for a neo-bohemian vibe driven home by the 1,200 feet of rope macraméd into a light fixture in the lobby.

Like its low-rise charm, the hotel rates are not through the roof. Florida residents enjoy a rate of $79/night. This throw-back-in-time hotel is a great stop if you're on a road trip. Day rates at this hotel are only $49.
