YOWIE Hotel

Smaller, more carefully considered boutique hotels have opened around the globe to put a finer point on the idea that hotels can be more than a bare-bones home base while traveling. YOWIE is sharpening the concept even further. Located in Philadelphia, the hotel, shop, and cafe is a laboratory for emerging artists and makers and a connection point for the creative community. With its 13 individually designed rooms, each featuring work by local artists, visitors can also purchase pieces from the shop and help fuel the creative economy. shopyowie.com
