Urbanauts
Nothing says "tourist" quite like stepping out the doors of a huge chain hotel in a strange new city. Let Urbanauts save you from that fate. Currently operating a single location but planning for many more, this unique business offers street-level lofts — created from abandoned storefronts — in hip neighborhoods as an alternative to traditional hotels. You don't have to do without the amenities of a hotel, however, as their spots offer niceties like TV, music, Internet, a minibar, and free rental bikes. Simply book your room, receive your key code, and enter it at the door — no reception desk or other nonsense necessary.
