As one of the few hotels to open in the downtown area in recent years, this Bonvoy branded property adds a very welcome jolt of energy to the city's flagship business district. Design firm powerhouse AvroKO created the sleek look that balances a sharp modern aesthetic with the original 1980's Brutalist concrete building by architect John Portman. The spiral staircase at the entrance and the unique diagonal floor-to-ceilings in rooms are the two most notable examples of this sleek contrast of different design palates brought together. Guest rooms feature great views, giant 65-inch flat-screen TVs, plush beds, and local food and drink artisans in the mini bar. 

A perfect base for exploring the North Fork's wine country, this boutique hotel occupies a grand 1863 Italianate building and provides luxurious accommodations, beautiful, peaceful surroundings, and impeccable service. Amid 22 acres of fragrant gardens and farmland, the former home of a local sea captain has been meticulously restored so that each guest room has a unique theme, and its dedication to honoring the local heritage earned it a New York State Historic Preservation Award. Without even leaving the building you can enjoy yoga classes, live music, formal farm-to-table dining, a casual "speakeasy," and countless opportunties for relaxation. For the ultimate splurge, go for the 800-square-foot Belvedere Suite, complete with cupola affording a 360-degree view of the property.

This Armory Square landmark is Syracuse's oldest hotel. Most rooms and suites have kitchens, and all have flat-screen TVs and leather desk chairs. Decor is traditional, with wall-to-wall carpeting, walnut veneer furnishings, and crisp white bedding. The pillow-top mattresses were custom-designed for the hotel.

White rockers sit on a wraparound porch of this Victorian house just off Ellicottville's main strip, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and bars. The B&B rooms are homey, with simple furnishings; the suite has a sitting area with a fireplace. The efficiencies are suitable for those with children or pets. A three-course breakfast is served at a communal table (not included for efficiency guests).

This full-service hotel at the highest point in town, housed in Jerome's 1927 former hospital, has comfy rooms with homey furnishings that part with the institutional past, and many have splendid views. The hotel's restaurant, the Asylum, is superb.

Turrets, jewel-like stained-glass windows, columns, gables, and magnificent woodwork embellish this inn, built in 1898 as the home of a local attorney. The gem theme continues in the den, where an ornate rock fireplace is said to include rocks from every U.S. state at the time the house was built. Elaborate Victorian pieces furnish the rooms, whose windows are hung with lace curtains. The Opal Room has a French armoire and four-poster bed, plus a marble bath with a whirlpool tub.

With its grand staircase, richly carved moldings, and marble fireplaces, the stately coral-colored 1918 Adams Mansion is home to this boutique inn where each room is designed for comfort.

An extended continental breakfast is served daily and there's also a restaurant and wine bar on-site.

In a wooded area in the hills above Grant Grove Village, this modern, timber-sided lodge has rooms and suites with queen- or king-size beds and private baths. There is also a comfortable common room where you can play cards and board games or read a loaner book. Look above the stone fireplace at a giant painting of Muir himself, shown relaxing on a rock by a meadow. A recent renovation brought updated bedding, carpets, and sustainably sourced and reclaimed wood furniture.

The New Orleans–esque exterior of this National Historic Landmark (the former residence of politician and slaveholder John Rutledge) has wrought-iron architectural details, and inside, parquet floors sit beneath 14-foot ceilings adorned with plaster moldings. Families gravitate to the privacy and quiet of the two carriage houses overlooking the shaded brick courtyard. Breakfast—continental as well as at least one hot item—can be taken in the ballroom, the elegant but simple courtyard, or your room.

This luxury hotel showcases art from the moment guests pull into the building's porte cochere and continues with impressive art installations throughout the building. The Tony Mantuano–helmed Italian restaurant Yolan in the lobby is the rare Nashville hotel dining destination that draws locals to Downtown, and upper-floor views are spectacular, including from the windows of the workout facility. The Denim rooftop bar, spa, and pool deck offer peaceful retreats from the bustle of SoBro, and even the least expensive guest rooms exude refined opulence.

Like the Harmony Motel in Twentynine Palms, this rustic roadside refuge will forever be a part of rock music lore, though, admittedly, it's tied to a darker moment—singer/guitarist and member of The Byrds Gram Parsons died in Room 8, which, despite its sad history and reports of paranormal activity, is still the most requested room. The inn, also a favorite of John Wayne and Donovan, wears this backstory like a badge of honor, usually playing tunes from Parsons' Grievous Angel album in the lobby, maintaining a memorabilia room, and sometimes hosting tribute concerts. Also like the Harmony, the single-story property seems stuck in time despite periodic updates (including a solar-power conversion). It's far from fancy, with dark cream-and-brown rooms with wood-paneled ceilings and mismatched furniture, so it's better suited to those making a purposeful pilgrimage than to those who seek pampering.

A row of trees guards the privacy of this circa-1888 B&B decorated in a Victorian style and set on a large yard at the edge of the "Old Town" district. The sunroom and back patio are built for relaxation. Ask for Room 4; it has a lace-draped canopy bed and a turret sitting area with a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains looming over Main Street. Room 2 has a fireplace. The restaurant's menu changes daily, its components supplied by many small, local organic farmers.

Each room at this B&B, across the road from the entrance to the Vanderbilt Mansion, is tastefully decorated with treasures the owners have collected during their world travels. The Kyoto Room, with light-wood furniture and soft colors, is serene. The English-country suite has rich floral wallpaper, Oriental carpets, and a cozy nook with a daybed. The Roosevelt Room, dressed in subdued country-print fabrics, has two twin beds. The common living room is slightly formal but bright and comfortable.

Built in 1897 by freed slave Albert Robinson and his wife, Margaret, this old hotel is Julian's only designated national landmark and the oldest continuously operating hotel in Southern California. The hotel offers antique-filled rooms with American period pieces, canopy beds, and handmade quilts. Cottage accommodations have private entrances, claw-foot tubs, and cast-iron fireplaces. Owners Steve and Gig Ballanger brought the old place into the 21st century, but it still feels thoroughly Victorian—afternoon tea is served and guests are invited to linger on the porch and watch the world go by. Complimentary full breakfast is served 8–9:30 in the parlor.

Centrally located, this hotel fronted by wild blackberry bushes, has small rooms and public spaces furnished with lovely antiques, beautiful cotton quilts, and historical photographs. Simple rooms have coffeemakers, microwaves, TVs, and heaters for those chilly Julian nights. This property is a favorite with hikers hitting the Pacific Crest Trail who utilize the hotel's laundry service and community supply box during hiking season.  

A sense of privacy prevails in these nicely located rooms in downtown Lafayette, where fine linens and a pool with hot tub are among the many amenities. All 20 rooms have large baths. Free breakfast is offered every weekend and on weekdays depending on hotel capacity.

At the top of the historic Begich Towers, June Miller rents out five attractively renovated condo suites that offer fantastic views of either the mountains and waterfalls or the bay (and more mountains).

June is the consummate host, and is happy to help you find everything you need to ensure you (and your entire family) have a fantastic stay in Whittier. 

A former military housing tower that is now home to most of the town's residents, June's also offers bed-and-breakfast condos, half with million-dollar bay views and half with gorgeous mountain and glacier views. All the condos have full kitchens and one, two, or three bedrooms. The outside and the entryway of this monolithic unit are hardly outstanding, but June, the owner, keeps the quirky condos clean and comfortable. They provide an excellent place to roost after spending your days hiking around and fishing in the sound, and are a great bargain if you've got a family or a group of friends.

This 1950s hotel was once among the limited choices for stays in the city, and its spacious rooms are now part of the J Collection, catering to conventions and extended stay visitors as well as the individual traveler looking for an affordable, convenient base.

Tops for slope-side comfort, these condominium-style units have full kitchens and ski-in, ski-out access to the mountain at Eagle Lodge. Extras include gas fireplaces and balconies; the heated outdoor pool—surrounded by a heated deck—is open year-round. If you like to be near nightlife, you'll do better at the Village, but if you don't mind having to drive to go out for the evening, this is a great spot. For the best rates, book ski-and-stay packages through 1800–Mammoth. 

This rustic, yet comfy, B&B is perfect for exploring nearby Nevada City, which is within walking distance. Hosts John and Carma are also more than happy to play concierge and arrange for tours. All three rooms are in the main house, but there are also two cute, rustic cabins available. Property amenities include a hot tub, outdoor firepit, large yard with horseshoes, bikes, and free Wi-Fi.

Fine wines, a destination restaurant, and a vineyard's-edge setting make a stay at the Justin winery's inn an exercise in sophisticated seclusion. Three suites lie steps from the tasting room and restaurant. The high-style color scheme favors greens and dark walnut, the furnishings are contemporary with haute-1960s flourishes, and the bathrooms all have spa tubs. The fourth suite, ⅓-mile away and done up in French-country style, sits amid the production facilities, putting you even more in the thick of the winery action.

Always a trusted brand, the JW Marriott is a one-stop shop for modern business travelers. Guests are within walking distance of the convention center, Lady Bird Lake, the hike-and-bike trail, and dozens of downtown's best restaurants and bars. Thousands of square feet of meeting space, three on-site restaurants, and rooftop lounges are ideal for groups who don't need to explore beyond the central business district.

Built on 125 acres in the mid-1930s and gorgeously renovated to keep its cowboy character, this hacienda-style resort remains top-notch and was the first JW Marriott ever established. Grounds are gloriously adorned with stunning cacti and desert flowers. Rooms are spacious and elegant with luxury amenities and private patios.

Mixing architectural elegance with a sleek modern style, this historic property has lots of gorgeous areas, from a bright and welcoming lobby bar to spacious guest rooms with high ceilings and marble baths.

The hotel's Bourbon Steak restaurant completes the experience with polished dining in a romantic atmosphere.
