Bungalow Hotel
New Jersey Shore, United States
Style Surfer’s paradise
Setting Steps from the seafront
Bungalow Hotel on the Jersey Shore is pier-perched and art-filled, created by owners who happen to be interior designers. With its fresh East Coast vibe, it sure shows. It’s a wave-rider’s paradise, as shown by the room names (Aloha, Hang Loose, Lil’ Pipeline and the like), and quirky flourishes abound: a huge Queen Elizabeth stamp covering one wall of the lobby, a ‘Vive La France’ flag and Stars and Stripes sewn in denim.

Our favourite rooms
We like Lil’ Pipeline and Pipeline for their layout: underneath elaborate black chandeliers, beautiful exposed bath tubs separate the bathrooms from the bedrooms.

The quirkiest jewellery and accessories you can get your hands on to compete with the decor.

Bungalow Hotel is designed to surprise and intrigue; aside from the animal skulls, pebbles and birds’ feathers in the lobby which bring the beach indoors, 50 original artworks are dotted around the hotel.
