VIRTUAL TOUR OF NEWPORT, OREGON
Fun and Funky in Nye Beach

There's also this fun and funky hotel: the Sylvia Beach Hotel comes with rooms decorated in themes from different authors. There's the Hemmingway Room, with a safari theme and other elements of his life represented. Or there's the Dr. Suess Room, where various characters from the authors' surreal imagination are staying with you as well.

This old building was reborn in recent decades after having been the freakzone called the Gilmore Hotel, which had an unsavory but delightfully kooky history. Residents and regulars - usually slightly twisted Bohemians - used to hold "nudie parties" there, which was essentially a clothing-optional situation.

It couldn't have been pretty.
