The expansive Domain shopping district is known for its high-end retail and upscale dining, so it’s refreshing that the area has this boutique hotel, inspired by retro motor courts, that's more affordable and approachable than its competitors. Centered on an outdoor pool and courtyard, rooms feature trendy “retro-ranch” interiors, with stylish throwbacks like full-size Smeg refrigerators alongside Lone Star accents such as sliding barn doors to the bathroom. An on-site food truck offers an all-day menu, and the Watering Trough bar and café provides daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner service, plus live music is hosted regularly.

Within a three-story building about a half mile from the Bethel Airport, the Long House offers modest rooms with Wi-Fi, refrigerators, microwaves, and filtered water in every room. The Red Basket Restaurant is also on-site.

Directly across the street from the ski village, this condo complex is one of the closest to the slopes. Units ranging in size from studio to two bedrooms have fully equipped kitchens with refrigerators, stoves, and dishwashers. The studios can be a good value, as Murphy beds fold out for additional sleepers.

Remodeled in 2007, this family-owned lodging has cabins and a small camping area/RV park in a cottonwood grove. It's 2 miles east of Dubois, with a view of the painted badlands.

The restaurant known for whiskey and nose-to-tail cuisine has opened a six-room inn by the same name, and each of these homey quarters is full of original art and handcrafted furnishings. No room has the same look and feel, but each is residentially styled to appeal to the young travelers who stay here to be in the middle of a cool neighborhood scene. Comfortable and welcoming, it's like crashing at your (very tidy and organized) best friend's pad.

Suites at this laid-back inn are surprisingly spacious, and the cozy backyard comes with a hot tub, pool, and outdoor bar.

Baltimore's historic landmark hotel, the Lord Baltimore extends its Jazz Age elegance to the guest rooms. Built in 1928, this 23-story hotel is distinguished by an elegantly gilded art deco lobby with Murano glass chandelier and contemporary artwork. Upstairs, each of the recently updated 440 rooms feature dark wood accents and a gray color palette. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, 40" flat-screen TV, pillow-top mattress, and down comforter. Rooms on the south side have the best view, and from the top three floors you can see the harbor. The hotel is quiet and comfortable, and the location is central, three blocks from the Baltimore Convention Center or Harborplace. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

If you want to be in the midst of the shops and not far from the harbor, this handsome Main Street brick building with bright blue-and-white awnings is the perfect choice. Although it's not on the water, the inn offers many guest rooms with full or partial harbor views. The colorful interior is furnished with restored antiques and paintings by local artists, both in guest rooms and in the lobby. Dogs welcome.

The Loren at Lady Bird Lake offers one of the most unique vantage points of downtown—with a panoramic view of the city skyline from the lake's less-populated southern shore. It's steps away from the hike-and-bike trail, and many guest rooms directly overlook the Lamar pedestrian bridge, which  always teems with activity. Special occasions are celebrated here, from long anniversary staycations to prom dates taking photos on the stunning rooftop patio at the NIDO restaurant. World-class art, from the hotel's striking architectural design to large-scale sculptures and decor carefully curated throughout the property, elevates the entire experience. The city is right at your fingertips here, and a helpful 24-hour concierge can help arrange any kind of downtown or Lady Bird Lake excursion, from paddle-board rentals to boat tours. 

For a romantic special-occasion getaway, look to this intimate luxurious inn perched on a seaside bluff near Sue-meg State Park. The eight light-filled rooms and suites have tall windows overlooking the lush gardens and the ocean, and some have loft sleeping nooks with extra beds to accommodate kids. The room rate includes an impressive breakfast buffet and a generous afternoon reception with craft beer, wine, cheese, and charcuterie.

This elegant mansion just south of Lafayette has four beautiful suites and offers a complimentary cocktail upon arrival, as well as a full Cajun breakfast each morning. Visitors can book art classes and massages, though these should be booked in advance. The mansion puts on several events during the week ranging from trivia to bourbon tastings to yoga.

Combining a Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites, this spot draws large groups away from the crowded peninsula to its modern complex set tucked into a pine forest just off I-26. Suites feature full-size fridges, views of the woods, and handsome, modern decor. The large outdoor pool and cabanas are a perk for families and summertime visitors, and a nature trail winds from the parking lot through the adjacent wetlands.

Steps from Madison Avenue shopping and a block from Central Park, this old-money refuge on a leafy residential block started in 1927 and it still delivers genteel sophistication and pampering service in an unbeatable location. In fact, the 74-room hotel is one of a few remaining family-owned properties in the city, and is a member of Leading Hotels of the World. The lobby is small, but spacious guest rooms have all the civilized comforts of home, including stocked bookshelves and luxe bathrooms. Thirty-three of the rooms—all decorated in different themes—have working wood-burning fireplaces, while 14 accommodations have private terraces. Many suites feature Apple computers and iPads, and the New York Times and other major newspapers are delivered to the room. The elegant Pembroke Room is a guest-only breakfast and weekend brunch area and it's also available for pre-theater dinner. The Club Room lounge is for guests too. Other appealing on-site facilities are Majorelle, a well-regarded French-Mediterranean restaurant that has an afternoon tea service; and Jacques, a cocktail bar with a limited bar menu and lunch service. The restaurant and bar are open to the public as well as to guests.

This B&B, with its rare location within walking distance to splendid Kealakekua Bay, offers three high-luxury rooms with kitchenettes in the main house that share the pool-patio area, as well as two suites with more room and privacy in the detached Ohana Cottage. Gorgeous, well-appointed rooms feature plantation-style furnishings and decor with Hawaiian touches. The property, renovated in 2019, includes a sparkling, chlorine-free pool. Romantics take note: facing the emerald pali (cliff) is a lovely, grassy space with a small gazebo, should you wish to renew vows or pop the question.

If you like Hawaiiana and appreciate a bit of kitsch in your decor, this welcoming hotel with both rooms and condo units is a great option. The two-story lobby is decorated with Hawaiian-wood furnishings and Island-inspired fabrics, and all the accommodations have private lanai; some also have kitchenettes or full kitchens. Perks include free beach gear and bikes and a Manager's Reception (4–5 pm) with complimentary wine and cheese periodically during the week. The recreational deck features an updated fitness center, a heated swimming pool, and a barbecue area. A comfortable mezzanine lounge and a coin-operated laundry room round out the on-site facilities. Shops and restaurants are a short walk away. 

While updated and refreshed guest rooms don't—and maybe just can't—live up to the sophisticated and gorgeous exterior of this 1904 landmark building, they are clean, comfortable, and calm, and best of all convenient to the American Museum of Natural History and Central Park just a few blocks away. Standard rooms are small and decorated with dark-wood traditional furniture and neutral color schemes. Downstairs, the bistro Nice Matin is a popular draw (ask about a guest discount). The upscale residential neighborhood has an impressive array of boutiques and gourmet-food shops, including the nearby Zabar's.

Located just over a block away from Oracle Park, the second-ever location of this emerging boutique hotel brand is the first hotel in rapidly growing Mission Bay. The hotel's flagship features are the stunning rooftop bar, Cavaña, and an in-room food delivery robot named Henry. However, the rooms and amenities themselves are well worth a stay on their own, nicely balancing sharp modern design with a refined touch. Frette bedding, robes, and slippers ensure a comfortable evening; guests will also enjoy a number of thoughtful amenities like handheld garment steamers, an expansive work desk, and motorized window shades that truly block out sunlight. Above all, travelers will be thankful that this is that increasing rarity in the hotel world these days—there is no destination or resort fee.

Unlike other hotels on the Strip, this one has no \"elevators,\" at least in the main pyramid; instead, in order to reach rooms, guests must climb the slanted walls in one of four \"inclinators,\" which creep along and have seen better days. On each floor, open-air hallways overlook the world's largest atrium. Pyramid rooms are large but otherwise nondescript and occasionally in a poor state of repair. One wall slopes because of the building's design—an interesting effect, but it makes these rooms feel cramped. We prefer the twin 22-story towers next door: they're newer and have brighter rooms with large windows, many that offer killer views of the pyramid. Bathrooms are spacious and have separate showers and tubs. Suites in the pyramid have plenty of extra space and deep whirlpool tubs with brilliant views of the skyline. The Luxor has one of the largest pools on the South Strip. For a truly indulgent treat, rent a cabana and receive poolside VIP services such as hand-delivered treats and iced aromatherapy towels.

Tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street, this stylish Kimpton property makes for a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the city. Spacious rooms are elegantly understated with plush beds and furnishings in rich woods. The intimate restaurant and lounge serves modern American cuisine and classic cocktails.

Built in the early 20th century a block from still very active train tracks (rooms are equipped with ear plugs), this friendly and slightly quirky 10-room boutique hotel is a well-situated and affordable base for exploring the many exceptional wineries between Lyle and Maryhill. Some of the cozy rooms with antiques, robes, and comfy floral linens and quilts have views of the Gorge, and all share a bath. Try to stay here Thursday through Saturday, when the great on-site restaurant, with lovely outdoor garden seating, is open—it serves hearty portions of eclectic comfort fare and features an impressive list of local craft beers and wines.

Built by the Marnells, the same family that created the Rio, this resort is 6 miles south of Harry Reid Airport and is a destination unto itself. Sitting at an elevation 400 feet higher than the majority of Strip hotels, the M literally looks down on the rest of Las Vegas. Standard rooms are spacious and modern, with chocolate-brown carpet and dark-wood furniture. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer picture-perfect views of the desert. All rooms come with electronic sensors that dim the lights when guests are absent, to conserve energy. Downstairs, at Spa Mio, the focus is on personal luxury—therapists offer everything from facials to massages and haircuts. Relaxation continues by the pool, which is small but feels ultra-exclusive. The casino, which has windows to let in natural light, hums with excitement—a spacious race and sports book with mobile gaming technology is among the most popular attractions. Out back, the resort hosts live concerts under the desert night sky. Since the NFL came to Vegas in 2020, the property has also become the \"Official Team HQ Hotel\" for the Las Vegas Raiders, complete with its own Raiders-themed restaurant.

A restored boarding house from McCarthy's early-1900s mining heyday is now a characterful B&B decorated with antiques and artifacts. The rooms are cheerful with traditional quilts and lace curtain, and they're extremely small, with just enough room for a wrought-iron bed (it's best if you have small bags with you). The hotel is right on "main street" in McCarthy, across from the Golden Saloon and The Bear & Salmon Restaurant.

Formerly a bed-and-breakfast, this house now rents to large groups and comes with a saltwater pool, private baths in each room, and plenty of private space and amenities. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings, and some have private balconies. The friendly hosts are happy to give recommendations for drinking and dining, which will have you feeling like part of the neighborhood in no time.

A historic boutique property set on 2 flower-filled acres in the middle of town, MacCallum House strikes the perfect balance between Victorian charm and modern luxury. Guest rooms in the main house and renovated barn (six in each) feel genteel and romantic (the ones in the barn are larger and look more contemporary), while the seven cottages nearby are bright and honeymoon-y. One of them, the water tower, is unforgettable, with a living room on the first floor, a sauna on the second, and an ocean view from the bed on the third. Other accommodations have a private outdoor hot tub or a sauna-equipped bathroom. The MacCallum lineup also includes 10 modern luxury suites a few blocks away. The longtime chef at the outstanding restaurant, one of Mendocino's best, hand selects the best local ingredients, and everything from pasta to ice cream is prepared daily from scratch.

When you stay here, you'll likely meet the "Mad Carpenter" himself, Lawrence Thomas, who lovingly restored this historic home with the help of his wife, Danny Rue, whose fabulous homemade granola is available every morning with breakfast. There are two guest rooms in the main house, each individually decorated (note that only one has a private bath). For a bit more money, you can rent "The Dollhouse," a separate cottage behind the main home that has its own deck, kitchenette, and jetted tub. Two other guesthouses suitable for larger groups are nearby but don't include breakfast.

This former bunkhouse for the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s is now one of the Mad River Valley's chicest accommodations, thanks to extensive renovations in 2013 that transformed it into a rustic farmhouse with an edge of industrial. These transformations translate to clever touches, like bed spring light fixtures, a sign made of plumbing handles, and lots of reclaimed wood. The on-site pub, restaurant—serving eclectic international dishes—and game room keeps the fun going through the evening.

Whatever the season, outdoor enthusiasts will get a kick out of this 20-acre property, newly built and opened in 2023, which goes all-in on mountain biking in the summer with all the amenities you'd expect at a ski resort, from an all-day restaurant to rentals and repairs, and is just a quick drive to the slopes in the winter. The centerpiece—besides bike trails leaving directly from the lodge—is an epic waterfall that gives the property its name; two outdoor saunas from local luxury builder SAVU sit right at its edge. Standard rooms are spacious, with Malouf mattresses and Vermont-crafted headboards, and include covered bike storage; creekside camping is available for the more adventurous.

This spot blends the drama of a grand European hotel with the warmth of a mountain chalet. A large fitness center, full-service spa and salon, ski valet, Village Square location, and a 4,000-square-foot pool deck make the Madeline not only sophisticated, but convenient as well. The on-site Timber Room restaurant serves whiskey-forward cocktails and small plates near a toasty fireplace.

Part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, Connecticut's only beachfront boutique hotel has seen many updates and upgrades over its 100-year history, but it remains one of the most beautiful and relaxing spots along the coast. The hotel's front yard and private beach play host to a summer concert series, and exceptional views are available from most of the rooms as well as the Porch restaurant. The Wharf and Crow's Next offer additional dining options, and therapists at Sounds of the Sea Spa are available for massages and other treatments.
