These are the Top 10 Retro Beach Hotels in America
Big on Nostalgia
Remember the good old days when you packed up the old station wagon and headed to that no-frills 1950s era beach motel for a week every summer?
Probably not.
But there's so much more than fading memories to embrace at one of these retro hotels. From the charming facades and neon signs to the mid century architecture, the poppy color scemes, and the flairs that vaguely reference the atomic or space age (that was the '50s and '60s). Plus, did we mention beaches?
Hotels.com has compiled a list of the 10 Best Retro Beach Hotels in the U.S. These hotels hearken to a bygone era without skimping on modern amenities. These (mostly) budget-friendly properties are big on nostalgic vibes, vintage flair, and kitschy designs, while offering prime waterfront, amazing ocean views, and freebies like parking, breakfast, swimming pools, and Wi-Fi.
