5203 Best Hotels in USA

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.

As Madison's most elegant hotel—a half-block off State Street and one block from Capitol Square—the Concourse attracts important public figures. Rooms are awash in neutral, classy hues and feature Bath & Body Works toiletries, a 37-inch flat-screen television, and the hotel's own Dayton Street Comfort Collection bed linens. Dayton Street Grille sources ingredients from Wisconsin's farms and dairies, serving everything from fried cheese curds to braised pheasant. The 100 rooms on the Governor's Club executive level include access to a private lounge serving complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails.

Guests at this bed-and-breakfast, just 5 miles outside the city, are treated to vineyard views a few steps from their beds. Each of the four rooms has private baths, complimentary chocolates, satellite television, and plush mattresses, plus access to a well-stocked library. The Beaujolais Cottage features a screened-in porch and full kitchen, complete with dishes, glassware, and cookware. Be sure to check with the inn about wine tastings hosted in the wine cellar on select dates.

The signatures of presidents, prime ministers, sultans, and kings fill the guest register at this classic Washington address, noted for polite service and stylish comfort and now rebranded as a Hilton. Custom bedding lulls you to sleep in rooms fitted with plush lounge chairs, flat-screen TVs, ergonomic workstations, and marble-and-granite bathrooms stocked with luxurious bath products and towels. The M Street location puts you close to the White House, numerous monuments, and dozens of restaurants. The lobby lounge, Postscript, serves light bites, but it's not a full-service restaurant.

From its rococo bathrooms to its pink-on-pink froufrou steak house, the Madonna Inn is fabulous or tacky, depending on your point of view. In several faux-Swiss buildings arrayed on a hillside, rooms are each unique, to say the least: Rock Bottom is all stone; the Safari Room is decked out in animal skins. A walking/bike path leads from the hotel to downtown San Luis Obispo, about a mile away.

This 89-room boutique hotel, strategically tucked away on Music Lane, feels a world away from the immediately adjacent South Congress Avenue, thanks to its brilliant architectural and landscape design that highlights intuitive privacy and proximity to nature. Four buildings, interconnected by elevated walkways and courtyards surrounding a lovely outdoor pool and lounge, compose this treehouse-esque complex that boasts views (from certain rooms), plush beds and amenities, and access to the excellent on-site Summer House restaurant.

There's nothing thematic about the guest room decor, but guests at this hotel can secure advance dinner reservations and attend magic shows at the Magic Castle, a private club in a 1908 mansion next door for magicians and their admirers. (The club requires jacket and tie for men; kids are allowed only during brunch on weekends. Advance reservations a must.) This former apartment building faces busy Franklin Avenue and is a quick walk to the Metro Red Line stop at Hollywood & Highland. Larger rooms have full kitchens with eating areas. The decent-size heated pool is always open, and the patio has lots of greenery. Continental breakfast (often with a magician performing), 24-hour snacks and soda, and laundry service are complimentary.

When it opened in 1922, the 29-story Magnolia building was the tallest structure south of Washington, D.C. Today it is best known as the home of the red-neon Pegasus sign, installed atop the structure in 1934. (The current sign is a replica.) The building opened as a hotel in 1999, with tailored, oversized rooms that have an urban loft feel; the 129 suites have full kitchens.

Midcentury elegance abounds at Omaha’s Magnolia Hotel, a beautiful old property that’s a popular wedding spot for local couples. The building, dating from 1923, is located in the city's historic Old Market district, making it convenient if you're stopping in as a business traveler or a tourist. The front-desk staff are knowledgeable about local attractions.

Formerly the Houston Post-Dispatch newspaper building and the original corporate headquarters for Shell Oil Company, the chic Magnolia takes a historic property in a modern, well-designed direction. Guests enjoy a complimentary nightly cocktail reception, as well as a milk-and-cookies buffet right before bedtime. The rooftop pool offers great downtown views. Bedding and linens are amazing, some of the best we've experienced.

Of the many condo complexes lining the ocean-side stretch of Honoapiilani Highway, this one offers friendly service, a saline oceanfront pool, and affordable units—some with million-dollar views. You won't be charged for parking or local phone calls, and most of the individually owned one- and two-bedroom units have been renovated to include flat-screen TVs and granite countertops in the kitchens. The interiors tend to be charming "old Hawaii" (lots of rattan furniture, silk flowers, and decorative items). This quiet older complex is a short stroll away from Honokowai's grocery store, beaches, and restaurants.
