Charleston


Spanish-moss-draped, 200-year-old B&Bs are cool and all, but if you skew more hip and contemporary than antebellum and antique, this all-suite hipster enclave steeped in Americana arts-and-crafts kitsch is for you. Reclaimed wood-bound hallways lead to 54 rooms over a few buildings, which grow from 500 sq ft and are awash in modern indigo, some with kitchenettes and washers and dryers.

Common areas – a library, a rooftop pool, a farm-to-table restaurant and cool coffee shop – follow suit with saddles as wall art and build-your-own-motorcycle schemes. Valet parking costs $24 per day.
