Taylor Swiftâs fictional Lover House has been a widely discussed residence on social media. Iâve seen fellow Swifties creating their own version of the fictional mansion out of thrifted dollhouses and Legos. However, living out your Lover House dreams doesnât have to be limited to your crafting abilities or your imagination. Florida is home to renowned hotels that can transport you into the TS album of your choice! Whether your comfort album is âSpeak Now”, or you are a hardcore âReputationâ girl like me, here are nine hotels that represent Taylor Swiftâs albums (with links to TripAdvisor so that you can see all that these hotels have to offer):
If you have been a âTaylor Swiftâalbum girlie since the beginning, book yourself a night at The Guitar Hotel at Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida. There wonât be any âteardrops on your guitarâ as you check into the architectural triumph. The hotel, which is shaped like an electric guitar, lights up at night to create a stunning place to stay. Surrounded by palm trees and pools, The Guitar Hotel brings a Floridian spin to Taylorâs first album.
My first time watching the âLove Storyâ music video, which is a part of the âFearlessâ era, is a core memory. Seven-year-old me dreamed of dancing alongside Taylor on the stunning stone staircase that led visitors up to the castle. The Port Dâ Hiver Bed and Breakfast in Melbourne Beach, Florida, took me back to seeing the music video for the first time. The brick, double-curved staircase that leads to the hotelâs pool will have you singing along to Taylorâs lyrical twist on the classic Shakespearean love story (no pun intended).
The Carriage Way Inn Bed & Breakfast in St. Augustine, Florida, has a cozy, charming exterior; one might even say that itâs an âEnchantedâ place to stay. The beautiful architecture, featuring carved porch railings with painted blue trim, representsâSpeak Now.â The dainty exterior lighting might remind you of âSparks Fly,â and the endearing dollhouse-look might lead you to stream songs like âInnocentâ and âNever Grow Upâ â as long as itâs Taylorâs Version.
If youâre driving a new Maserati down Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida, youâll end up at Red South Beach Hotel. The hotel displays pops of bright red (one might even say âburningâ red) throughout the entire facility. The red pillows, red accent walls and red chandeliers will make you feel like you stepped into Taylorâs 2012 album.
The Pelican Grand Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, gives the same beachy vibes as â1989 (Taylorâs Version).â The hotel, like the album, has a larger-than-life, grandiose feel. You can even use the hotelâs private beach to recreate the album cover â if the seagulls will cooperate.
While you wait for Taylor to release her version of âReputation,â you can plan your next trip for Rosemary Beach, Florida. The Pearl Hotelâs âGorgeousâ black-and-white exterior parallels Swiftâs black-and-white, read-all-over newspaper-themed album cover. Plus, its location on the beach might remind you of a certain lyric in âEnd Game.â
While they might not âleave the Christmas lights up âtil January,â The Don CeSar in St. Pete Beach is the perfect âLoverâ-themed getaway. The stunning pink castle looks like a real-life fairytale. The mansion will be the perfect backdrop as you watch the sunset on the beachfront property, flawlessly capturing all the colors of the âLoverâera.
Sister albums âEvermoreâand âFolkloreâ have different songs but a similar whimsical sound. Pack your âcardiganâ and reserve a room at The Cedar House Inn in St. Augustine, Florida, which exemplifies the quaint nature of the albums. The stories told in âEvermoreâand âFolkloreâ will come alive as you sit in the cozy rocking chairs on the innâs stunning red-and-green porch.
âMeet me at midnightâ at the Eurostars Langford, a beautiful hotel in Miami, Florida. Like Taylor, you will likely not be able to fall asleep due to all of the events happening in Miami around the clock. Eurostars Langfordâs lovely architecture might make you feel like youâre staying in âParis,â just like âMidnights (3 a.m. Edition).â
No matter what your era is, Florida has a hotel for you to make the Lover House a reality. Pack your bags and transport yourself to your favorite album â while streaming Taylor, of course.
