f jazz, and a vision of the environment in harmony with nature. Soaked in hues of indigenous flowers -- jasmine, periwinkle, bougainvillea, lantana, dune daisy and hibiscus -- Sanibel Inn peers into butterfly gardens shaded by more than 600 palms. Inside, warm-toned bamboo flooring along with a palette of grass green, sea blue and golden wheat featured in trellis and striped patterns adorn each of the 68 hotel rooms and one-bedroom suites. Nature comes indoors with photos of the local flora and fauna framed in dark wood. Along with hotel rooms and one-bedroom suites, Sanibel Inn offers two-bedroom condominiums that are perfect for families or larger groups of friends who wish to stay at the Inn. With 23 miles of paved hiking and bike paths, guests experience nature up close and personal, gazing at spoonbills and herons. Exploration continues on the beach where more than 200 rare species of shells, including junonia and alphabet cones, await discovery. Adventures resume on the greens at The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club winding through 75 acres of natural lake view fairways and Audubon Cooperative Society wetlands. For fare with a musical flair, Ellington's Jazz Bar & Restaurant features the freshest Southwest Florida seafood and tops off meals with live jazz, offered seven nights a week. -show less
