It’s hard to resist the allure of a nice hotel room. There’s something romantic in the indulgence of a space that’s been carefully designed for the sole purpose of pleasing its passing inhabitants. It’s as if we adopt the character of the room that we’re staying in – a sort of rejuvenating escape from the day-to-day. But it’s only those impeccably-designed hotels that have this effect, which tells us that our hospitality design friends have got it down to a science.
If you’d like to feel whisked away more often, consider using some of these style tips that we’ve picked up from a few finely tuned lodgings around the country.
ROOST Apartment Hotel

Located in Philadelphia’s Midtown, ROOST Apartment Hotel is the perfect blend of private apartment and boutique hotel. The hotel’s 27 fully-furnished rooms feel more like clean, modern loft spaces than they do hotel rooms. Mid-century modern furniture pieces, antique carpets, and thoughtfully curated art pieces create a home-away-from-home warmth.
Style Inspiration:
- Add character to a modern room with a rug that has patterns and warm tones
- Make the most of sparse framed art by aligning it with your room’s natural lines
- Bring depth to neutral color schemes with sparse and strategic plant placement
The William

When it comes to NYC hotel rooms, it can be tough to know what you’re getting. Often, a hotel with one of Manhattan’s historic facades will hide a terrible renovation job. Other times, that historic facade might house an equally historic and stuffy interior. For The William in Midtown East NYC, the building’s exterior does justice to the interior’s joyful features and vibrant colors.
Style Inspiration
- Incorporate metal hues to create a glamorous yet elegant accent
- Commit to vibrant monochromatic tones in accent walls, furniture, linens, and carpets to create an energetic experience
- Balance your brilliant colors with hints of neutral gray and black
The Hotel San Jose

Turns out that Texas and design are quite a delightful pair. From the poured concrete floors and minimalist decor to the eclectic Western textiles and vibrant furniture, The Hotel San Jose in Austin has united the culture of Texas with modern elements of style to craft a truly unique destination.
- Don’t be afraid to mix patterned textiles and colorful decor into an otherwise minimalist space
- Use natural wood finishes to lend an eclectic feeling to minimally decorated spaces
- Create a quiet space to appreciate the outdoors with non-traditional but comfortable patio furniture
