Inn

103 Flagler Ave, New Smyrna Beach, FL

Originally built in 1885 as a historic bridge-tender's home, this fully independent, three-story pink landmark sits right on the edge of the Indian River North Intracoastal Waterway. Bypassing the heavy concrete condo corridors, the boutique hotel retains its classic old-Florida charm with sprawling wrap-around verandas, tin roofing, and custom cedar details. Guests can walk straight out onto Flagler Avenue, make use of the full-service on-site spa, or dine dockside at the acclaimed seafood restaurant The Grille at Riverview.
