Where to Get Some Reading Done In Newport, Oregon, on a bluff overlooking the sea, Goody Cable runs the Sylvia Beach Hotel, where each of the 20 rooms are decorated in honor of a different author. The Agatha Christie room is decked out in floral prints and scattered with clues. The Hemingway room is adorned with a stuffed antelope. And in the Edgar Allen Poe room a pendulum swings. For Cable, it's all about fostering an atmosphere for creative folks who like to swap stories all afternoon while a storm beats the windows. (There are no TVs or phones.) At the communal dinners, conversation is spontaneous and wild, and Cable urges guests to play Two Truths and a Lie. "I like really brave customers," she says. Sylvia Beach Hotel: 267 NW Cliff Street, Newport, Oregon; (888)795-8422. - B.M.
