The roaring ‘20s are back and better than ever — except, this time, it’s a century later. These Art Deco hotels are teeming with old-world charm, timeless elegance, and swoon-worthy style that’s reminiscent of the original 1920s: plus modern touches that make them all the more alluring.

The Delano (Miami Beach, FL):
The Delano is one of Miami Beach’s most iconic hotels — in part due to its whimsical, beveled-edged exterior. Its interiors are even more spectacular, with a grand lobby with soaring ceilings, all-white guest rooms, and a cabana-lined pool surrounded by winding gardens. (📷: Benjamin Philbert)
The Chatwal (New York, NY):
This NYC hotspot spans six stories and is adorned with ornate, eye-catching columns; all of which remain in great shape since they were first built early last century.
