Some designer labels such as Armani, Missoni and Versace create opulent hotels to splash their names on but Betsey Johnson has always done things in her own unique way. Her vacation offering, Betseyville, is actually one of her getaway homes located on the Mexican Riviera. Betseyville is a cluster of five palapa buildings with palm-frond roofs, a hanging out pool and a lap pool and multiple garden areas. The getaway can sleep eight in four bedrooms and there is a cleaning woman and caretaker on staff. Betseyville is decorated in bright colors and fabrics similar to the designer's exuberant fashions. Betseyville rents for $5500 per week from May to October.
