Little Mod Hotel – Retro Style Meets Boutique Comfort in Charlottesville
If you’re searching for a stay that breaks the mold, Little Mod Hotel is it. As Charlottesville’s only true mid-century modern boutique hotel, this design-forward property delivers serious personality, comfort, and cool—making it one of our top picks for travelers who want something memorable and a little unexpected.
Located just minutes from the University of Virginia, Little Mod is as much a vibe as it is a hotel. With bold colors, clean lines, and a playful nod to the 1960s, the aesthetic here is both timeless and totally Instagram-worthy. But don’t let the vintage look fool you—inside, you’ll find all the modern comforts, from plush bedding and high-speed WiFi to thoughtful, cozy details that make your stay feel like home.
