The Deco Walk is shooting hard for the title of hippest hostel on the beach, and it's making
a good run of it. Pop-art-decorated dorms and a rooftop bar with requisite Jaccuzi and
club-esque lounge area are well thought out, but as is often the case with hostels, this place
is as good as the crowd staying there.

A nice addition to the expanding SoBe backpacker scene. The hip vibe attracts lots of
scenesters and club kids.

Wood that's blonder than Barbie and a crisp-and-clean deco theme combine to create one
of SoFi's most elegant yet stunningly modern sleeps. Color schemes blend beige, caramel,
white and cream - the sense is the hues are flowing into one eye-smoothing palette. The
familiar, warm service is the cherry on top for this hip-and-homey standout, although the
soothing lighting and glass showers - that turn into personal steam rooms at the flick of a
switch - are pretty appealing too.

Young party types will probably get a kick out of this lobby, filled with fuchsia- and
electric-colored geometric furniture plus Lucite toy blocks, which makes for an aggress-
ively playful welcome. Interior rooms are well appointed with earthy hardwood floors,
pretty beds and bright paint palettes.
