Who doesn't love a good roadtrip or staycation just hours away from where you live? Factor in a cute hideaway packed with interior marvel and it's pretty much a done deal. And if you're a sucker for charming decor, a romantic ambiance, and if something about a rustic stone fireplace gets you giddy — then these 3 petite hotels are a must stay for your next escape.
If you ever find yourself traveling northwest of California, nestled in the winding roads of the central coastline lies a quaint little town called Carmel. Among the cute village shops and fairytale cottages, you'll find a cozy and charming escape called Le Petit Pali.

Step into the lobby, and you're immediately greeted by statement chairs in bold red stripes. Next, your eyes are drawn to the calming blue and green foliage that accentuates the walls — along with a mélange of thoughtfully arranged pillows in tartan plaid and floral prints that further enhances the countryside charm. Once you spend a night here, you'll dream of coming back over and over again.



An eclectic mix of classic country and art deco accents makes the decor feel modern.


Embroidered bathrobes are always a chic touch.
Imagine spending the weekend at your cool musician uncle's old-barn-turned-abode in the desert. That's the vibe you get when you step into Sparrows Lodge in Palm Springs — a 1950s modern rustic getaway filled with lived-in leather chairs, stacks of cool books, and fine art collections. You can almost feel the energy of the legendary Hollywood rat pack flocking to this desert oasis. The air filled with belly laughs and storytelling while double-fisting a cigar and glass of scotch under the bright stars.




A perfect hideaway for lovers.

A surfer's paradise in the heart of one of the most gorgeous coastal cities in California. It seems as if the sun is always shining in Laguna Beach. Tucked away in the hillscape of this tiny surf town is a magical hideaway called Hotel Joaquin. A petite resort that livens up the aesthetics, from the cool modern art curation to the to-die-for collection of vintage vinyl ready to be spun. As Vogue simply stated, "You will never want to leave."




Italian marble bathrooms. Enough said.

At the Hotel Joaquin, a cozy stay awaits.
