If you want something beyond a cookie-cutter hotel room bathed in banal beige, retreat to Hotel Indigo. The guest rooms are more like calming beach houses than typical hotel spaces. Hardwood floors, whitewashed furniture, teak benches, and navy and indigo blue dominate the rooms along with lime green accents, and vibrant wall-size photo murals of blueberries, irises and sky-blue cable-knit sweaters transform the space. Certain touches make it clear that it’s not just another day at the beach: spa-style showerheads, sleek Melitta coffeemakers, Aveda toiletries and personal trainers at the fitness center.

• 165 rooms. Wireless Internet access. Restaurant, bar. Fitness center. Spa. Business center. Pets accepted.
