Famed architect Henry Trost designed this Spanish Revival hotel, which takes its place among such other glamorous Trost landmarks as the Hotel Paisano (Marfa), the Holland Hotel (Alpine), and the Gage Hotel (Marathon) and is just an hour south of Pine Springs Visitor Center via a picturesque desert drive on Highway 54. Typical of Trost buildings, it features a grand lobby, European tiles, exposed Spanish vigas, room balconies, and wrought-iron bannisters. With the downstairs Gopher Hole Bar and El Capitan Dining Room, this is the jewel of Van Horn. It's also a good option en route if you're headed to Big Bend, which is 200 miles farther south.

This atmospheric, five-story hotel stands in the heart of Astoria's historic district and retains the elegance of yesteryear, updated with modern comforts like cozy underfloor heating in the bathrooms and fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs in the deluxe rooms.

Warmly outfitted modern rooms and suites come in various sizes, from a standard double to the two-story Presidential Suite.

A favorite for travelers looking for good value in a desirable Midtown location, this intimate hotel offers rooms with a French-country-living feel, including wooden headboards, rich carpeting underfoot, and—in a few cases—tubs and balconies. In the Club Room, complimentary coffee, tea, and snacks are available to guests all day; a continental breakfast is served. Four of the old-world guest rooms have terraces. Opened in 1926, the hotel served as a home to Tennessee Williams, Ava Gardner, Sidney Poitier, Joe DiMaggio, Vladimir Horowitz, and Marlon Brando over the years, and is the location of the Monkey Bar, one of Manhattan's most storied watering holes. Valet parking is through a nearby parking garage.

Inspiration is everywhere at this intimate hotel, with a prominent literary theme that celebrates San Francisco’s Beat poets, from its lobby wall of books and poetry-laced carpet to in-room libraries and typewriters. Ranging from spacious to smallish, rooms are smartly decorated with gray carpets and splashes of color; some overlook the street, others the tree-filled courtyard. Photos of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac preside over the lobby Obscenity Bar and Lounge, and a small café offers breakfast, snacks, and coffee. The Union Square location is hard to beat.

Eclectic design meets high-tech details in this daring boutique newbie, which has robots delivering room service to your small, midcentury modern–inspired quarters.

A striking, contemporary hotel high on a bluff on the east side of town channels a gracious hacienda with its colorful common spaces and restaurants.

Mezcla serves creative Southwestern food in an elegant space with tile floors and beam ceilings, and there's a fun indoor-outdoor bar, Azul.

The 12-story Hotel Figueroa was originally built in 1926, and touches of that originality are still seen throughout with original skylights, wood beams, and tiles. The stunning redesign now includes a classic bar that specializes in gin drinks, as well as mouthwatering seasonally influenced fare at one of the hotel's two distinctive eaters; one off the main lobby, the other alfresco and poolside. Out back, the original coffin-shaped pool is still alive and kicking and flanked now by a breezy Mexico City--styled bar serving tropical sips. Rooms are tastefully decorated but still hold on to their historical charm.

In continuous operation since it opened in 1924, Finlen, with its lobby of ornate chandeliers and pillars, stands in testament to Butte's heyday, when the hotel played host to the likes of Charles Lindbergh and Mrs. Herbert Hoover. Once boasting more than 200 rooms under the mansard roof of this nine-story, French Second Empire structure, most of those are now apartments, with only 24 hotel rooms remaining—plus another 32 in the adjacent Finlen Motor Inn. The rooms are unremarkable, but some provide excellent views of Uptown Butte, and it's pet-friendly.

This Main Street hostelry is a great home base for skiers wanting to hit Breckenridge, Copper, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin. After a long day of skiing you can relax in front of the two-story river-stone fireplace complete with trophy bull moose mount, warm up in the outdoor hot tub, or sip craft beers in the lounge. Staffers are gracious with advice about the best hiking trails and least-crowded ski runs. The rooms are done in cream colors with wood accents and the bedding is plush with down comforters and ultrasoft sheets.

Both homey and innovative, the Hotel G has tiled lobby floors, large windows, and high ceilings (giving even the smallish standard rooms an airy feel) that pay homage to the building's century-plus history, while smart TVs, Bluetooth radios, Nespresso machines, and Wi-Fi keep it firmly in the present. Rooms have woven Indian rugs, denim headboards, black-and-white wallpapered closets, floating light fixtures, and throw pillows shaped like the Golden State. The on-site gym is well equipped and open 24 hours.

On the National Register of Historic Places, this gracious yet somewhat tired hotel housed in former officers' quarters has original claw-foot bathtubs, nonworking fireplaces decorated with Belgian tiles, and charming and nicely maintained rooms.

Sleek and modern, this new build on a family estate offers an escape to a bucolic setting that's still close to the city and includes upscale amenities like a spa, a large pool, and two restaurants, including the superb Patterson Kitchen + Bar, a stand-alone, glass-walled venture that may be the city's best date night destination. The spacious rooms sport a lustrous, neutral-tone aesthetic, and the cozy sitting room features gold chandeliers, two fireplaces, and lots of marble. 

The hip Hotel Havana is a boutique oasis on the north end of the River Walk with colorful Cuban-inspired flair and bold artwork housed in its rather modest outward appearance. Originally built in 1914 as a hotel residence by a local grocer, the hotel has changed hands numerous times over the past century, transforming the grand Mediterranean Revival building into a secluded destination along the far reaches of the River Walk. Rooms are sparse but meticulously outfitted with vibrant vintage furnishings and decor, and each room has its own unique touches. A stay at this chic-yet-cozy accommodation isn't complete without a stop at its riverside restaurant, Ocho, which sits just overlooking the river as a sort of robin's-egg blue aviary serving up a sexy selection of cocktails and a menu of Latin-influenced snacks and dishes.

Situated near Penn Station and convenient for Chelsea's attractions, the Hotel Hayden doesn't look like much from outside, but step inside, and a stylish atmosphere unfolds—all the way to your room.

Rates also include continental breakfast.

Downstairs, the on-site spa offers a variety of treatments, and there's an adjacent lap pool.

Close to major East End attractions and at the beginning of Long Island's wine country, this boutique hotel has plenty of amenities and activities right on-site. The casually elegant restaurant features local musicians, and there's a large outdoor pool area, fitness center, weekend yoga classes in-season, on-site spa, and a friendly staff eager to please. It nicely blends the sort of luxury amenities you'd expect of a large hotel chain, down to its Aveda bath products, with a decidedly local feel.

Its primo riverfront location offers sweeping views from many rooms, and especially from the rooftop bar, Eighteen85, a local hotspot. There’s also a full-service restaurant, fitness center and outdoor heated pool on site. 

Although it's part of a chain, this bright, bold boutique hotel makes you feel like you're staying in a hip apartment rather than a by-the-night lodging.

All rooms have a desk, flat-screen TV, high-end coffeemaker, tiled walk-in shower, and large windows, as well as free Wi-Fi and access to a tech concierge on call.

Rooms aren't huge—as is common in this part of Manhattan—but they are bright and cozy.

Just a five-minute drive over the scenic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge from downtown Charleston, this is the perfect outpost for those who plan to explore the city for hours on end but want a quiet, modern, and economical spot to lay their heads.

Close to Florida State and Florida A&M universities, this seven-story, industrial-chic hotel is popular with visitors in town for game day or a campus tour. The Hotel Indigo chain is known for incorporating local flavor into its designs, and this property is no exception: the neighborhood in which it's set was once a business center connected to the nearby railroad, and the use of wood, metal, and leather in the lobby nod to the area's past, as does the wall art, which incorporates items such as railroad spikes and toy train tracks. The sunny and spacious rooms carry on the theme, but tend to have a modern feel with some rustic touches.

Built into the renovated art deco–era Pepper Building in the heart of downtown, this locally owned 2019 addition to the city's lodging doubles as a gathering place—the wide windows overlooking the street beckon passersby into the stunning lobby-level bar and restaurant, Sir Winston.
