Across the street from Camp Randall Stadium, where the University of Wisconsin–Madison Badgers football team hosts home games, Hotel RED is also a quick walk to downtown Madison. Each room is decked out in pops of red and yellow—plus modern art and red-glass sinks—against an urban-chic gray-and-white palette. Sleek kitchenettes add to the convenience, and some rooms have a balcony. Ingredients used to craft small plates at The Wise, its ground-floor bistro, represent a tour of 45 Wisconsin farms. During the warmer months an outdoor patio coaxes passers-by with couches and roving bartenders.

Of downtown Homestead's smattering of mom-and-pop lodges, this historic inn is by far the most desirable. With its Victorian-style rooms done up in pastels and reproduction antique furniture, there's a fantastic restaurant and bar inside as well. Opened in 1904, this was the town's first hotel, which later became its first mercantile store, first post office, first library, and first boardinghouse. It's now recognized as the oldest building in the city. Each of the 13 charming rooms feature unique layouts and furnishings, and some provide access to a shared balcony. Owners have transformed the hotel's restaurant on the first floor into City Hall Bistro-Martini Bar, a foodie haven for Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine with guitar music on weekends. There's free Wi-Fi throughout the property.

Just a block from Waikiki Beach, this unassuming but stylish boutique hotel focuses on wellness and renewal, making it a calm alternative to the big, bustling resorts that dominate the area.

There's also a grab-and-go food station and a (very) small lobby bar.

Located at Rock Lititz, a unique 96-acre campus that caters to live-entertainment productions for big-name musicians, this hotel is where many crews and celebs stay incognito while they rehearse before going on tour. Mere mortals can stay here and enjoy the unique art and repurposed road-case doors in all the rooms. The lobby is designed for hanging out, with shuffleboard and a pool table, and lots of spots to chill. You never know who you might rub elbows with at the on-site restaurant and bar, which are open to guests only for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is open to the public.

This funky boutique property overlooking the Willamette River affords stellar views of the water, easy access to the waterfront park and the events that take place there (Rose Festival, Blues Festival, Gay Pride, and so on), and—as part of the Pineapple Hospitality chain—complimentary pineapple cupcakes during the daily afternoon reception. The hotel has a clean and modern interior style, and the guest rooms—decorated with bold color schemes—contain wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, ample work space, top-of-the-line memory-foam beds, iHomes, mini-refrigerators, Keurig coffeemakers, and oversized walk-in showers.

A great value for Long Beach, the family-owned, European-style Hotel Royal makes up for in kindness what it lacks in fancy extras. Think free breakfast, a lively wine happy hour, and free bike rentals. The hotel was built in 1923 in the art deco style and is in the center of Long Beach's au courant East Village arts district. In keeping with the building's age, the small lobby and some of the rooms have exposed brick walls. If you really want to live your 1920s dream, you can even reserve a room with a built-in Murphy bed, which folds out of sight when you're not using it. The decor is somewhat uninspired, but for the price, the Royal has all you need. The studios, lofts, and suites are individually decorated. Some rooms have en suite private baths, while less-expensive options share a bathroom with other rooms on the floor. Some rooms are equipped with kitchenettes, but there's a fully stocked community kitchen, making this a perfect stop for families, larger groups who want to spend time together, or those who prefer to cook. While not oceanfront, the hotel is a 15-minute walk from the beach.

A stay at this circa-1830 home offers some historic French Quarter elegance in a good location.

Picurís Pueblo has controlling interest in this handsome Pueblo-style three-story hotel on the Railyard District's edge and a 15-minute walk from the Plaza. The light, airy rooms and suites are traditional Southwestern, with locally handmade furniture, wooden blinds, and Pueblo paintings; many have balconies. The hotel gift shop, Santa Fe's only tribally owned store, has lower prices than many nearby retail stores, and the hotel's rooms and common areas are decorated with a museum-quality collection of Native American artworks. The 35 rooms and suites in the posh Hacienda wing have corner fireplaces and the use of a well-trained butler. Amaya is one of the better hotel restaurants in town, and there's a full-service spa offering a nice range of treatments as well as a refreshing garden pool. Informal talks about Native American history and culture are held in the lobby and Native American ceremonial dances take place on the property.

Originally built in the 1940s and billed then as the "best and most beautiful hotel in town," Hotel Seward is conveniently located downtown near a number of eateries, shopping, and the Alaska SeaLife Center.

There's also a high-end restaurant, Fifth Ave. Bistro & Bar.

This historic boutique hotel sits amid Berkeley's downtown arts district, just steps from the UC campus and a short walk from North Berkeley's best bites. The elegant property, built in 1910, emphasizes its turn-of-the-20th-century glamour in its unique design, but from HDTVs with streaming in every room to the excellent remote work desk setups, the hotel is completely upgraded and modernized. ZINO, the on-site restaurant, specializes in Mediterranean fare and well-crafted cocktails.

Conveniently located in walking distance to the beach and several eateries, this adults-only suite hotel is a great choice for those seeking modern amenities and a little extra peace and quiet.

Included with each stay is a European-style breakfast, complimentary beach bicycles, and full access to the amenities (including beach service) at nearby King and Prince resort.

Just south of the Plaza, this stately three-story hotel retains a historic vibe but has been given a modern flair—with expansive stone floors, plaster walls, and spare furnishings lit by massive pillar candles at night, the lobby feels a bit like a monastery. The simple, elegant rooms with high ceilings and casement windows have rustic Mexican furnishings. If you're looking for more of a splurge, the Cardinal Suite has a private balcony with views over the rooftops of downtown. The cocktail bar, Secreto, serves excellent cocktails and has a light bar menu. An added bonus is the Gruet Tasting Room, where you can sample the still wines and respected sparkling brut from one of New Mexico's best-known wineries.

Built as a private residence in 1906, this tiny boutique inn with white-glove service is one of the most romantic in the city.

Tucked away on Indian Creek Drive inside a restored art deco building (once the Greenbrier Hotel) is this boho-chic boutique hotel with oversize rooms and suites, each impeccably decorated with retro Mediterranean flair. The property's pool is located in a lush, tropical garden that feels like a private oasis.

When it originally opened in 1956, this hotel was a hangout for celebrities, including Natalie Wood, Robert Wagner, and Tony Curtis, but it remains a hot spot today, especially the main pool. The hotel has been restored to its former '50s fabulousness, and the rooms don't disappoint with retro furnishings and styling.

This World War I–era hostelry, tastefully restored, has seen miners, health seekers, and celebrities walk through its doors. Old-fashioned touches, including the original claw-foot tubs, remain, and like many other historic hotels the Vendome has its obligatory resident ghost (her room costs slightly more).

Located on the very southern edge of Lakeview, the Versey is a great spot for launching an exploration of Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and points north. The Versey has a long history of famous musicians as guests, thanks to its proximity to clubs like Metro, Schubas, Beat Kitchen, and others. Among others, legends like Kurt Cobain and Radiohead have rested their heads here. Rooms are aggressively Chicago-themed with accommodations that include full-size beds for solo travelers and features like in-room Nespresso machines and free Wi-Fi.

At the sleek Hotel Victor, guest rooms are equipped with Yabu Pushelberg–designed interiors invoking a post-century beach cabana vibe, and a sexy infinity-edge pool overlooks Ocean Drive and the beach. The property first rose to fame thanks to Parisian designer Jacques Garcia; Yabu Pushelberg has since replaced Garcia's jellyfish motif with a newer incarnation of bold modernism. The lobby features a stunning midcentury-modern vibe and is an oasis from Miami Beach's famed Ocean Drive—just outside the door. A large patio overlooks the action from a calmer viewpoint. Rooms face either the pool or the ocean. Many are compact but highly functional and even house oversize bathrooms.

Or, if you'd like breakfast out, just step across the street to the charming Croissant d'Or for pastries. Rooms are furnished with replica antiques; some have balconies, chandeliers, or ceiling fans.

Guests of the southernmost of The Estate Yountville's two luxury lodgings access their rooms and suites via an olive tree–lined walkway bisected by narrow, low-slung fountains. The verdant, 22-acre resort contains restaurants, shops, and a spa. The Villagio’s streamlined furnishings, subdued color schemes, and high ceilings create a sense of spaciousness. The accommodations, all with flat-screen TVs, safes, minibars, Nespresso coffeemakers, and balconies or patios, range in size from 475 to 595 square feet, their bathrooms equipped with oversized tubs, tiled walk-in showers with rain-shower heads, or both. A few steps in opposite directions lie a pool and the 13,000-square-foot The Rendez Veuve Spa. A six-minute walk north from Villagio's clubby lobby, mature trees shade the grounds of sister hotel the Vintage House, whose room decor is similar. Tasting rooms and high-profile restaurants are within easy walking distance of both properties.

On the bay-facing Crescent Avenue, this third-floor property is steps from the beach, so complimentary towels, chairs, and umbrellas await guests as do rooms with balconies, views, and fireplaces.

The resort fee includes yoga and fitness classes, parking, attendant services at Wailea Beach, and high-end shuttle service to beaches, shops, and golf.

In downtown Warm Springs, this historic hotel has plenty of character—the guest rooms have oak furniture and 12-foot ceilings with crown molding. Prices are even cheaper if you opt not to have breakfast, though this means you'll miss out on a full-service Southern breakfast with cheese grits. The Tuscawilla Soda Company off the lobby is a treat to visit—it was the town's original drugstore and soda fountain, often frequented by FDR himself. Unlike many B&Bs, children are welcome here and some rooms are even pet friendly.
