Mid-Century Modness

If you're like us, in addition to great beds and even better breakfasts, sometimes you want your hotel to have a backstory. In the case of the Villa Capri by the Sea in Coronado, CA, that history includes a neon sign circa 1956 (The 'Diving Lady') that was recently declared to be a historic resource by the city council, mid-century style architecture and original pink tiles with updated details. Best of all it's actually still run by the original owner Bettye Vaughen, who at 85 is as much an institution as the kitschy cool hotel.

Villa Capri is at 1417 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA 92118 619.435.4137
