A Room at the Inn: 6 Shops with Upstairs Accommodations

Chalk it up to disruptors like Airbnb and Home Away, but the trend toward more informal accommodation is on the rise. Case in point? Retail shops and restaurants around the world are transforming upstairs spaces—former stock rooms and offices—into sleeping quarters designed for guests. Here are six we’re eyeing.
