Providence-area hotel shows off cheeky style

NYLO Providence/Warwick is secreted away near the Warwick Mall, a few miles from the Providence airport. The 163-room property adds a cheeky wink to the straight face of a commercial strip. In the Loft restaurant and bar, off the lobby, transparent lucite tables contain a wave's toss of shells and sponges. Guests sit in canvas captain's chairs, beneath chandeliers inspired by a branch coral garden. Rooms from $79 a night (400 Knight St., Warwick, R.I.; 1-401-734-4460; www.nylohotels.com).
