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

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

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.

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.

A multimillion-dollar renovation a few years back updated this spacious landmark in Chicago's historic Printers Row neighborhood; the lobby is dark but welcoming, and the rooms, in a mix of browns, reds, and creams, are very large considering the location. Choose a suite and you'll have a condo-size spread with fantastic views of downtown. It's ideal for business travelers who want to be near the city's financial district, yet close enough to Grant Park, the Art Institute, and other museums to have touristic appeal.

Located in the heart of North Beach, this small hotel takes you back in time with cast-iron beds, large mirrored armoires, and memorabilia recalling the Beat generation—whose leading light, Allen Ginsberg, often stayed here (legend has it that in his later years he could be seen sitting in a window, typing away). Rooms have a bistro table and two chairs; bathrooms have cheerful yellow tiles and small showers.

A delightful small hotel nestled in a 1948 building, the Bristol—which is now owned by the Magnuson Hotels chain—not only has its location working for it, but also old-fashioned personalized service.

The staff goes out of its way to recommend local sights and dining. Rooms remain on the small side, but they feature warm earth tones and comfortable beds. Families and groups will appreciate the special family-style rooms, which offer four people the ability to stay in two rooms connected by a bathroom for about $70 more per night.

With cheerful rooms and nicely designed public spaces, the Hotel Cass is a true boutique property that bears little resemblance to more generic branches in the Holiday Inn chain. The crisp white lobby is sparse and elegant, and the dramatic red hallway is offset with humorous portraits. Accommodations are modern and bright, with green headboards that nearly reach the ceiling and artwork that includes photos of 1950s fashion icons; subway-style tiles in the bathroom hark back to the 1920s.

The Castro has been waiting for this 12-room hotel, designed for travelers who appreciate smart design and embrace self-service. There’s no staff on-site—upon reserving, guests receive simple instructions for accessing the building, followed by a code for the front door, elevator, and room just before check-in. The five-story property is close enough to the action to be convenient and just far enough away to blend in with this lovely residential area. Done in crisp whites with colorful splashes, the small rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, a terrace, and clever details that maximize space (like under-the-bed luggage compartments and drawers) and Nespresso machines. In place of headboards, rooms have murals made up of tiny photographs of LGBTQ+ life that together form images of gay icons. Snug bathrooms have black fixtures and blue hexagonal tiles in cool designs; the marble-top sink is in the sleeping area. The hotel’s Lobby Bar next door and a rooftop lounge with fire pit overlooking the neighborhood add hangout spaces.
