Traders Inn

Ormond Beach, Florida, United States

Probably built in the late 60s or early 70s...

Its vintage postcards boasts: "59 motel rooms. efficiencies and apartments directly on the ocean with private balconies".

Originally, this hotel had a great sign and roof line on the port cochere of the building. Also some nice abstract tapa print and some artsy rock landscaping and nautical pier posts tied with rope in the front.

However, the hotel was converted and units were sold as timeshares in 1980.

It is still open as of 2025, and is known as the "Trader's Inn Beach Club" but the front building has been entirely changed and there is no hint that it may have once had a Pop Polynesian architectural style.

It has literally been whitewashed and there is a white picket fence.
