This classic is perfect for families who want a taste of luxury without tip-heavy service (guest services such as bellhops are available upon request). Despite its 1950s heritage, the Limelight is a modern mountain hotel, complete with contemporary art and a cheerful lobby lounge that features a roaring fireplace and cozy mid-century chairs for sipping coffee or cocktails from the nearby bar. Fronting Wagner Park (and a fun kids' playground), the location can't be beat; it's just a block from the pedestrian mall and only three blocks from Lift 1A on Aspen Mountain. The spacious, recently renovated rooms have plush beds, sleek furniture, and modern lighting.

Built in 1892 as a private home, the turreted LimeRock is perfectly located in Rockland's National Historic District.

One of the best-value lodgings in Leavenworth is smack in the heart of downtown and offers modern and comfortable rooms with all of the usual amenities and a bit of chintz added for decoration. Breakfast—with fresh fruit juice, cereal, yogurt, pastries, and rotating hot entrées—is served in the lobby, but you're welcome to take it to your room or outside on the inn's terrace. Spa rooms have two-person jetted tubs and fireplaces, while townhouse rooms are a good fit for families.

Marriott aimed for the feel of a boutique hotel with their renovation of this upscale stalwart in the heart of town.

Guests rave about the inviting rooftop pool and comfortable beds, but the downside is that many rooms offer views only of neighboring buildings.

This boutique hotel pays homage to its Koreatown address with dynamic dining concepts and a hidden karaoke speakeasy. Designer Sean Knibb deconstructed the 12-story building to highlight the concrete, beams, and popcorn ceiling, only then to dress up the rooms in one-of-a-kind art—painted detergent bottles atop the desks, photographs of K-Town, and mismatched eclectic chairs. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the cityscape from your bed (splurge to stay on a higher floor facing the Hollywood Hills). Upstairs restaurant OPENAIRE features California cuisine under a breathtaking greenhouse, while in the lobby Alfred Coffee caffeinates guests with steaming hot lattes. The Lobby Bar is the perfect post-work hangout with creative cocktails and snacks, while in the back of the hotel, locals are lured in by the Houston Brothers' ’80s-themed bar with arcade games and karaoke rooms. There's also Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a deco-disco with a speakeasy ATM machine entrance. The outdoor pool is another great hotel escape.

On the edge of its namesake bay and just a few minutes from downtown Boothbay Harbor, this secluded, 20-acre, wooded resort has accommodations that range from rustic cabins to modern waterfront suites.

The Spa at The LINQ offers eucalyptus steam rooms, sauna, and pool. The property's biggest attraction is The LINQ Promenade, a retail, dining, and entertainment district next door, which boasts Brooklyn Bowl and the High Roller (LINQ offers packages that include two High Roller tickets). Be sure to check out O'Sheas, a lively bar and casino within the main LINQ casino floor.

This beautifully landscaped 4,500-acre resort features a nearly 2-mile stretch of oceanfront, marshfront, and golf course accommodations that range from high-rise condos to sprawling mansions.

There's an attractive lobby warmed by a fireplace, and elegant details such as brass railings, chandeliers, and marble-accented bathrooms. The spacious guest rooms are conservatively furnished, but with richly textured fabrics and plush seating.

This deservedly popular hotel is a little distance from the roar of the trains, the grounds are surrounded by evergreen forests, and it's one of the few places in Flagstaff with room service.

Named for John Lloyd, a prominent 18th-century shipping magnate and businessman from Stamford, The Lloyd is a luxury boutique hotel that offers personalized, "curated" service to travelers looking for a convenient, comfortable place to stay.

This lodge more than compensates for its location on a mountainside beyond the downtown area with breathtaking views of the Tenmile Range from nearly every angle.

Most rooms have wood-burning fireplaces, and many have wonderful ocean views at this circa-1919 resort, which includes the much newer, 38-room Fairway One complex. The golf course, tennis club, and equestrian center are posh. Overlooking the 18th green, the Stillwater Bar & Grill serves expertly prepared contemporary seafood.

Rooms in this rambling wood-and-stone Craftsman house have a refined rustic style; most have fireplaces, and some have jetted tubs, redwood decks, or hot tubs.

Handsome public areas and a destination restaurant by celebrity chef Michael Mina are among the selling points of this 10-acre, two-story, Mission Revival–style resort.

Mina's Wit & Wisdom Tavern is the fine-dining option, and there's a smaller café for breakfast and lunch. The fitness center's off to one side; the full spa at the back of the landscaped property contains a large outdoor relaxation area. Most rooms measure just under 400 square feet, with several junior suites slightly larger. Done in muted tones, all the accommodations have pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and small refrigerators. Most have private outdoor seating areas, some with tubs.

The warm and understated rooms are spacious and decorated with antiques, Stickley-style furniture, fabrics, leathers, and reproduction turn-of-the-20th-century pieces. Beyond the grounds are scenic trails that lead to the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve.

Choose either the comfortable mountain lodge, with 96 renovated lodge rooms, a one-, two-, or three-bedroom cottage (some with a fireplace), or one of the tent or RV campsites at this state-run accommodation within Unicoi State Park.

In summer and fall, reservations are required and can be made up to 12 months in advance. The on-site restaurant serves local favorites with buffets available on the weekends. There's also the Smith Creek Tavern for a quick bite and brew.

One of the first hotels to open in Vail, in 1962, the sprawling lodge is popular with skiers and families because of its fabulous location only 150 feet from the village's main lift, the Gondola One. Ski valets ready your skis every morning and collect your gear for drying in the evening. The quality and size of the rooms varies tremendously: smaller, individually decorated rooms feature a homey feel, while larger suites have modern touches like heated marble floors in the bathrooms and fireplaces. Two hot tubs, fire pits, and a pool with an outdoor bar and kitchen are perfect for relaxing after a day on the mountain.
