The lobby and each hotel suite elevates Mid-Century modern decor and includes vintage artifacts and fine art collected by owner Seija Ojanpera. She describes her hotel as “lively meets luxury,” and the rooms as “retro reimagined.”

The Dwell Hotel offers an executive suite named The Tiki. Other room options include delightful themes such as The New Yorker, The Tropicana, The Flamingo, The Pink Lady, The Argyle, and The Mod. Each room is distinct and high class, not campy.
