We all need a staycation or a trip to a different city from time to time. Whether you’re a Soda Citizen feeling a little cooped up or a visitor looking for a special Cola experience, picking the perfect home away from home is crucial.

We went looking for unique places to stay around town that showcase that Soda City spirit. So choose your ideal digs, pack your bags, and get ready for a memorable getaway.

It was once three historic buildings and has been revitalized into an eclectic, 1920s-era Art Deco style space with pops of color and hints of unicorn. Pro tip: Book the Unicorn Suite for a whimsical hand-painted mural + a view of Taylor and Main streets. Hotel Trundle is also expanding its unique stays with its Flutter Wing + The Dens projects.

The new, two-story commercial building includes 8,400 sqft of contiguous space on the first floor and 6,300 sqft on the second plus a 2,022-sqft covered terrace. The outdoor terrace can be offered as an amenity to a restaurant, wine bar, or office tenant, and outdoor dining options are also available on the first floor.

The new studio is set to open this winter, but the duo is currently operating from a temporary location at 2801 Devine St. Their offerings include Lagree Fitness training, hot yoga, hot-mat Pilates + personalized sessions.
