The Pearl Hotel

The designers of this midcentury modernist gem took a run-down motel dating from 1959 and let fly with the vintage cool -- the lounge area features high-style furniture and light fixtures, exposed stone, and shag carpet and throw pillows that encourage guests to relax on the floor and play a board game. Accommodations at this nonsmoking property are modest in size but have been refreshed with amenities such as Internet radios and contemporary chrome bathroom fixtures; thoughtful design touches include custom mosaic artwork and a pet fish in each room. The Pearl's restaurant and lounge area is snug and features outdoor dining spaces alongside the saltwater pool (where "dive-in" movies are screened weekly). Although there are no beaches in the immediate area, this is a nautical neighborhood, with the marinas, bars, and restaurants of Shelter Island nearby; the airport and Cabrillo National Monument are also just minutes away.
