The Luxury Set along the sugar-white shores of the Florida Panhandle’s Emerald Coast, the Watercolor Inn & Resort boasts 500 acres of beach and preserved coastal-pine forests. Designed by architect David Rockwell (the master hand behind L.A.’s Kodak Theater and set to helm Paris’ first W Hotel this year), each of the 60 spacious rooms gaze out onto seaside sand dunes and harbor king-size beds dressed in Egyptian-cotton bedding; some have outdoor showers and patio cabanas, while tower rooms tout wrap-around terraces.
The Value
Offered through June 4, the Quick Getaway package starts at $390 for two people and includes a two-night stay, dinner at the oceanfront restaurant, beach chairs with umbrella setup, and daily continental breakfast. Compared to standard winter rates, guests average about 30 percent savings off nightly à la carte room rates, plus get about $135 worth of extras thrown in.

The Catch Both dinner and beach setup are only included free of charge for one day per stay.
