Barry Sternlicht, chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group, celebrates the opening of Postcard Inn on The Beach in St. Pete Beach, FL with model/actress Molly Sims.

We're not sure what's happening with 1 Hotels but it looks like Barry Sternlicht has set his sights on more low-key projects.

Last weekend, he showed up for the opening of the Postcard Inn on The Beach which is a joint venture between him and Stephen Hanson, the founder of BR Guest Restaurants. Looking good BS! It doesn't look like the recession has aged you one bit.

As you can see, Molly Sims was there to celebrate the opening but she was also celebrate her new HSN jewelry line, Grace. While she dined at Wildwood BBQ & Burger with her family, new boyfriend Aaron Eckhart was not there.

The Postcard Inn on the Beach opened last month and its surf culture-inspired rooms start at $99 a night.

Go Gidget at The Postcard Inn on the Beach

Where: 6300 Gulf Blvd [map], St. Pete Beach, fl, United States, 33706

Yes, yes, we realize it is officially fall, but it just seems too damn cold too damn soon this year. Which means we’re getting a jump-start on our snowbird plans, weighing up which sunny destination to escape to first come December or January. News, then, that the Postcard Inn on the Beach opened last Thursday in St. Pete Beach, Florida, was music to our cold ears.

We’ll always have a soft spot for the beachy motels of America’s past, and this looks like just the place to rediscover our inner Gidget. First of all, there’s the décor of the guest rooms: ocean murals on the walls, surfboards and gear as decoration, and vintage light fixtures. Some rooms will have poolside patios for post-beach brews, and others overlook the garden or the gulf.
