Best Large Hotel
Motel 6

Various locations, U.S.A. Designed by Priestmangoode

For the makeover of Motel 6—a 1960’s American icon of mobility and affordability—Priestmangoode has created a room that maximizes space, utility, and style. The flat-screen TV is built into a wall unit that also includes a laptop and iPod dock, as well as storage for clothes and luggage; platform beds, bright color on the walls, and lots of rounded-off corners and beveled edges make for a fresh, pop-modern look. 800/466-8356; motel6.com.
