Stuffed high-country animals atop a mountain of boulders welcome you to Hon-Dah, operated by the White Mountain Apache Tribe (the name means "Welcome to my home" in Apache).

This 1890 schoolhouse is now a pale honey-color Victorian B&B. The first-floor classrooms have been opened into an expansive, columned lobby with a painted checkerboard floor. The upstairs bedrooms and six small cottages behind the inn are decorated romantically chic, with pastel painted floors and decorative window treatments. In the garden, surrounded by a tall wooden fence, there's a completely open-air bathroom that can be booked by adventurous couples. In 2004 the inn built new cottages called "tents" in an allusion to turn-of-the-20th-century Methodist tent communities. On wooded bluffs overlooking the headwaters of Carter's Creek, the tents each have three bedrooms and a kitchen, and there's a pool and dock for canoes and kayaks, as well as the "Detention" wine bar.

This small Hopi-run motel, the only place to eat or sleep in the immediate area, occupies an attractive adobe building with a reddish-brown exterior. The rooms are nothing special, but they are clean, quiet, and moderately priced. Because of its remote location the motel usually has some vacancies.

Surrounded by McCandless Ranch on 40 acres in South Kona, this place may seem remote, but it's actually just a short drive from some of the best water attractions on the island, including Puuhonua O Honaunau, Kealakekua Bay, and Hookena Beach. The gated driveway winds past herds of goats, donkeys, horses, and cows. Offering four suites with private entrances and lanai, plus beautiful ocean views, this tastefully appointed inn has an open-air living area, plus a media room with a DVD library of 1,500 titles.

Though quiet in location, silence is easily broken if louder guests are returning to their rooms later at night.

Located in the heart of the Strip, Horseshoe, formerly Bally's, is an old-school property with contemporary rooms and suites that is an underrated choice for a Vegas vacation.

Out front, check out the open-air mall dubbed the Grand Bazaar Shops.

The Horton's sophisticated accommodations right downtown—including a light-filled lobby lounge and a rooftop bar—have a surprisingly cosmopolitan feel.

Panoramic views of the mountains at the rooftop bar can't be beat.

The basic, no-nonsense rooms here have comfortable lodgepole beds and showers en suite; rates include unlimited use of the pools during your stay. Reserve the apartment to have after-hours pool access.

With a design aesthetic and food offerings inspired by the neighborhood's multifaceted heritage, this thoroughly modern hotel from Hyatt's Joie de Vivre group takes full advantage of its downtown location.

In some ways, the Ambassador is unlike any other luxury hotel in Tulsa. An extensive redeisgn transformed one of the city's most historic properties into one of the city's most contemporary hotels, with a tech-savvy style that belies it's lofty Mediterranean-inspired architecture and regal European-style interiors. There are only seven rooms on each floor, providing a more intimate feel than you might expect, and each has an Italian marble bathroom, custom-crafted furniture, and triple-sheeted pillow-top beds. Complimentary Wi-Fi, bottled water, newspaper, and local and airport transportation confirm the hotel's standing as an ambassador of Tulsa hospitality.

Opened in 1939 by Conrad Hilton and now on the National Register of Historic Places, this 10-story Southwestern Territorial--style boutique hotel incorporates the Spanish-Moorish elements of the original Hilton design in its dramatic interior decor. A Gold LEED certification reflects the sleekly appointed (and fully wired) hotel's commitment to eco-friendly practices. The two-story lobby is a wonderful place to soak up the rich ambience, perhaps before grabbing cocktails in a secluded Casbah nook or heading upstairs to the scene-heavy Ibiza bar. Or dine at MÁS Tapas y Vino, where local ingredients inspire traditional Spanish tapas and large plates, all prepared with a modern twist.

This downtown boutique hotel that was once a livery stable is housed in the oldest existing commercial building in Great Falls. Choose from standard or deluxe queen or king rooms (loft versions are also available as is a king room with a kitchen), and enjoy a continental breakfast in the Celtic Cowboy pub downstairs. Before checking out, swing by the boutique to shop for locally sourced souvenirs. Unlike other hotels in town, Hotel Arvon offers complimentary covered parking, a huge perk in the winter when it snows and in the summer when it hails.

This year-round hotel less than a mile from downtown Gloucester comes alive in summer with an on-site restaurant and deep-sea fishing excursions. The rooms—comfortably decorated, but not fancy—all have balconies and water views. Guests receive complimentary breakfast on weekdays. The hotel's seasonal outdoor bar and dining area is a great place for an afternoon cocktail or light fare right on the water. If you're looking for a quieter stay, ask for a room in the middle of the building. Minimum nights may be required.

Far from just a generic amenity, the fitness facilities are the raison d’être at this independently owned Bucktown property; after all, it got its start as a tennis club that’s hosted the likes of Billie Jean King and Venus Williams (who kindly pitched in and designed a lounge when the club was overhauled and the hotel added in 2017). The multistory facilities and class offerings are impressive---think sunrise rooftop yoga and spinning, a heavy bag boxing gym, two sleek pools, and a virtual driving range, to name but a few. And the coolest feature is that they’re all open to hotel guests—with the $45 resort fee, that is. (Spa treatments and personal training sessions not included.) Throw impressive skyline views and slick mid-century guest rooms into the mix, and you’ve got a seriously unique spot to rest your head.

There's a trendy outdoor dining and lounge area with a small pool, a restaurant, and a coffee shop.
