The YOWIE Hotel is a vibrantly captivating boutique space launched by Shannon Maldonado and the space features 13 rooms for guests to enjoy. It is adorned with bright tones and embodies a welcoming environment -- it is one of the three hospitality branches including the WIM cafe and YOWIE shop.
Both of these spaces can be found right around the corner along the South Street neighborhood of Philadelphia. The brand evolved the hotel since its first emergence to the public in 2019 as one of the location's coolest shops. It opened this past summer to unveil its updated design and new storefront along with the cafe. Now, the curated capsule features modern art, design, and more -- these are sourced from local artists, designers, and friends.
