Contemporary white-walled elegance, a low-key welcoming vibe, colorful interiors in well-appointed rooms give this Winter Park gem a distinct style. The hotel has a strong commitment to the arts: not only does it house the Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art, part of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum's permanent collection, but all profits fund liberal-arts scholarships at Rollins College.
There's a lovely rooftop pool and an excellent restaurant that serves locally sourced food on courtyard tables. The rate quoted here is for weekends; midweek prices can decrease by around $50.
