Each of the cabins set amid the pines and aspen at this peaceful resort has splendid views of the sparkling Metolius River, decks furnished with Adirondack chairs, a full kitchen, and a fireplace. Children are allowed, but are asked to respect the resort's peace-and-quiet policy.

Formerly known as Meyer Inn on Cypress Creek, this historic hotel, originally a stage stop for travelers preparing to cross the Guadalupe River for the Old Spanish Trail, has been redesigned and renovated under new owners. It is beautifully situated on 33 wooded acres along the banks of Cypress Creek, just a few blocks' walk from town shopping. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, featuring natural elements such as reclaimed wood and stone, along with modern and vintage design touches. Communal areas include a swimming pool, a courtyard, and serene creekside spots to unwind.

The MGM Grand is one of the largest hotels in the world, with three 30-story towers with rooms and suites in more than a dozen categories. Standard accommodations are modern with art that evokes a Hollywood theme; Stay Well rooms include an air purification system and dawn-simulator alarm clocks. Further up the line, the various types of suites are more stylish and striking: the best of the bunch are the two-bedroom Marquee suites and the two-story Terrace suites, which have vaulted ceilings. At the very high end, the super-posh Skylofts at MGM Grand occupy the hotel's top two floors, and come with a 24-hour personal butler, separate check-in, infinity tub, and even an extensive pillow menu. There are also 29 villas within the Mansion at MGM Grand, the resort's high-roller palace. Overall, few resorts in the world have a bigger pool and sunbathing area; dubbed the Grand Pool Complex, the 6.5-acre area features four separate pools, three whirlpools, and a long, lazy river; there's another pool at the resort's Tower 3. In early 2025 the hotel announced a $300-million project to renovate the rooms and suites in the largest main tower, promising \"the flair of the disco era\" by the end of the year.

A pink-and-turquoise neon sign on Route 5/U.S. 20 welcomes you to this 1953 motor lodge, transformed into an art-deco-style motel. Each room is individually decorated, with some '50s and '60s lamps and furnishings mixed with more-modern pieces. Rooms have comfortable queen beds with better-than-average linens; some have hot tubs.

Like an oasis on the horizon of endless sawgrass, this nine-story resort on the edge of the Everglades can't help attracting attention—even if you're not a fan of 24-hour gaming action. The casino is positioned within the lobby (making for a cigarette-smoky welcome at the front desk) and features more than 1,700 gaming machines, 32 high-stakes poker tables, a 1,050-seat bingo hall, and a separate gaming area that's comparatively smoke free. If you get beyond the lobby, you'll find that most rooms and suites have a view of the area's sawgrass and wildlife. Amenities include an indoor heated pool, fitness center, a minibar, coffeemaker, and 24-hour room service. Children 12 and under are invited to hang out at Club Egret, where 8,500 square feet of activities await.

Italophiles feel like they've been transported to the good life in the Mediterranean at this deluxe hotel, where the long, wide lobby lounge is clad with multihued marble and Veronese-style oil paintings. Upstairs, rooms are spacious, averaging 475 square feet. You can choose contemporary, neoclassical, art deco, or French country styles; the different styles really just have to do with different color schemes. All have marble foyers and marble bathrooms equipped with bidets and oversize 55-gallon tubs. The hotel is a few blocks from Rockefeller Center and 5th Avenue shopping.

Grouped along the Machias River at this wonderfully secluded 50-acre property are three open-plan cabins with pine interiors, kitchenettes, and Adirondack chairs on the lawn; the historic center-chimney Cape house has one B&B guest room with a deck. The house's antiques-filled "keeping room" with a large hearth looks much as it did when the home was built in 1776. The B&B is the third-oldest home in Machias, but cabin or Cape, you’re sure to enjoy the peace and quiet Down East is known for—inescapable in this tranquil place.

Like most accommodations in Miles City, this hotel is pretty basic, but you can count on clean, well-tended rooms and friendly service for a very reasonable price. The hotel doesn't allow pets, but a nearby sister hotel is very pet-friendly.

Even if you're not a big fan of gaming, this attractive hotel on the bay and boardwalk in North Bend (a short distance north of downtown Coos Bay) makes a handy, comfortable, and relatively affordable base for exploring this stretch of the coast. The hotel's snazziest rooms are in the newer tower, which has grand views of the bay, but the comfy lodge-style rooms in the older building are brightened by colorful Pendleton blankets and rustic furniture. Included in the property's four dining venues are a waterfront restaurant and a bakery. There's also a full-service RV park and a concert venue that books nationally known bands and comedians.

Like most old Bucks County farmhouses (the oldest part of the house dates to 1730), this one has been expanded over the years. Curl up by the Mercer-tile fireplace in the library, pay a visit to the Thoroughbreds that gallop nearby (there are even facilities to board your horse), or gaze at the creek and pond from the glass-walled dining room. Guest rooms are named for presidents. In the George Washington Suite, the master bedroom has stone walls and a beam ceiling. The second bedroom, which is great for children, has a bed tucked in an alcove, which is painted to look like a four-poster bed.

Set amid towering evergreens in a tranquil patch of Lassen National Forest, this delightfully unfussy 1930s cabin and camping resort feels as though it could be inside the national park, although it's actually about 10 miles south on a scenic country road. Nine dark-wood cabins with bright-green roofs accommodate four guests (six in some cases), and all have handcrafted beds, simple but fully equipped kitchens, and barbecue grills and fire pits. You can pick up basic groceries in the old-fashioned general store, and a casual restaurant and bar serves burgers and other hearty fare, plus craft beers and milk shakes. There are several RV sites, as well as camping cabins, primitive tent sites, and glamping options.

Choose from four lodgings at this rambling resort: relaxing Church Landing and Bay Point are both on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee; convivial Mill Falls—with a pool—and Chase House are across the street, next to a 19th-century mill that houses shops and restaurants. Which to choose? Bay Point has waterfront rooms with private balconies, and Chase House has fireplace rooms, but the real star of the show is Church Landing, an Adirondack-style lodge whose lush rooms have dramatic water views.

Built in the 1790s as a classic Cape Cod cottage, this place has been turned into anything but your typical B&B—rooms have each been luxuriously designed around a particular theme, with the utmost good taste and flair. Each room has a fireplace, and beds have feather mattresses and high-thread-count cotton sheets that would be hard to leave were it not for the savory smell of the professionally cooked brunch wafting up the stairs.

A former flour mill near a bridge has been converted into this inviting small hotel, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lobby is decorated in wood accents with Native American art throughout, while furniture from an old dude ranch fills public spaces, giving it a definite Western style. The rooms are more contemporary in style and lack historic character, and some face a busy street; all have doors opening directly onto an outdoor walkway. The building has six stories, but the top four floors are business offices.

Rooms are comfortably furnished, warm, and inviting at this circa-1780 inn set beside the large, unspoiled Damariscotta Lake, where casual afternoon gatherings on the deck and hammocks-for-two overlooking the water make the most of the location. You might see loons, herons, bald eagles, and other wildlife on an excursion with the owner in an antique Lyman powerboat. Swimming is big here, or you can go for a paddle: several canoes and SUPs, plus a kayak, are available for guests' use. Don't miss the fascinating fish ladder, a short walk away, where alewives swim upstream every spring to spawn. Downtown Damariscotta's shops and restaurants are 2 miles away.

The only hotel in downtown Mill Valley comprises one of the area's first homes, the Creek House, which has smart-looking Victorian rooms; a main building with 16 rooms; and two small cottages nestled in a grove beyond a creek. Beds are made with crisp white linens, starkly contrasting with the deep browns and greens of the ferns and towering redwoods just outside the windows. Hiking and biking trails are steps away, as are Lytton Square and downtown shops, restaurants, and performing arts. A continental breakfast is provided each morning, and there's an evening wine-and-cheese reception.

The house, built in 1810, was remodeled in 1838 when classical detailing was all the rage (witness the majestic columns in the front hall). If the interior recalls 17th-century Italy, it's because most of the furniture came from the current owner's palazzo near Modena. Elegant marquetry tables grace the parlors and lush silk draperies dress many windows. Extensive gardens surround the house, and a sculpture garden displays works by local artists. If arranged three days in advance, guests can order a three-course dinner prepared by your hosts.

One of the newer additions to Millbrook's pantheon of hotels, the Millbook Inn is a sophisticated country house located a few miles from the center of town. Set in a former boys' school dormitory, the restored rooms are decorated with traditional dark wood furniture and black-and-white photographs. The Anne Room has a four-poster bed and a hot tub. The inn also has a restaurant.

As the local headquarters of John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign and the location of some of the earliest Academy Awards ceremonies, this Downtown treasure, with its gilded 1923 Beaux Arts design, exudes ambience and history. These days, the Biltmore hosts business travelers drawn by its central location, ample meeting spaces, and well-outfitted fitness center, open 24/7. The hotel is also popular for weddings. Renovated guest rooms, though small by today's measures, have formal furnishings and marble bathrooms. Pack your bathing suit to wear at the vintage tiled indoor pool.

Spanning two towers near the United Nations, this Hilton offering starts on the 28th floor and has fabulous views—ask for a room facing west, toward Manhattan's skyline. A multilingual staff caters to a discerning clientele, including heads of state. The serene rooms are warmly lit with soft neutral tones and furnished with work desks and ergonomic chairs, Crabtree & Evelyn bath products, and Hilton's luxurious linen collection. Standout amenities include the only indoor tennis court in a New York hotel (by appointment only), a 24-hour fitness center, and a convenient coffee bar serving Italian Illy products and pastries and sandwiches. The on-site restaurant, Ambassador Grill, and lobby are both designated New York City interior landmarks.

This 1927 hotel has had a number of identities—including the speakeasy for Capone to a 1970s stint as the Playboy Hotel and Towers under owner Hugh Hefner; these days the guest rooms sport a gold, beige, plum, and espresso color palette. Your downtime is well spent in the lobby bar, which offers seasonally inspired cocktails and an extensive martini list.

As at the other hotels built in town since gaming was reintroduced in 1989, the architecture of Mineral Palace blends in with the historic buildings of Deadwood while the rooms have modern furnishings, but with floral bedspreads, burgundy carpeting, and hardwood trim that give them a slightly Victorian look. There are Jacuzzis in the VIP and Royal suites. The Gem Steakhouse and Saloon serves a variety of steaks for dinner and is also open for breakfast and lunch.

Large windows in each room at this charming motel look out onto Lake Superior's harbor, and accommodations are also offered in rustic cottages and a lodge. The one- and two-bedroom cottages feature a gas range and a refrigerator, while the lodge has a cozy lounge with a fireplace, television, and reading material. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and there's satellite TV in each room. The Astor House Museum, which displays antique dolls, toys, and Native American artifacts, is on the grounds.

Cathedral ceilings, Arts and Crafts styling, and towering windows with views of white cliffs or deep forests contribute to the delight of this lodge. Works by local artists and photographers add interest. Some guest rooms have balconies.

Mint House's Hillsboro Village location offers spacious studio and one-bedroom rentals with far more amenities than offered by most hotels, including in-room kitchens, laundry, and seating areas. That it's walking distance from Hillsboro Village's many attractions makes Mint House your home away from home.

This New Age health spa 30 miles north of Tucson, popular with celebrities, has a secluded desert setting and beautiful Southwestern rooms. Most of the spa services and wellness programs, based primarily on Eastern philosophies, aim to put you in touch with your inner self. Choices include being pampered with a hot stone massage or seaweed body mask, and participating in fitness, meditation, equine, and nature activities. All gratuities and meals, including tasty buffets (with calories and fat content noted), are included.

This 380-acre resort underwent a $130 million renovation and name change, transforming the former Cranwell Resort into a more polished, high-end Miraval property. A renewed focus on health and wellness means guests are given access to golfing, spa packages, yoga and fitness classes, equine programming, and nutrition counselling. This is an all-inclusive experience, with large rooms, plenty of activities, a world-class spa and dining options that are included in the price of your stay. Miraval is less about experiencing the Berkshires and more about your own mental and physical health journey within the property's offerings. 

Understated elegance is the rule at this châteaulike property. Mirbeau is French for "reflected beauty" and appropriately, the complex wraps around a water garden with lovely lilies and an arched wooden walkway. The 10,000-square-foot Roman-style spa has the region's most extensive treatment menu. Rooms have fireplaces, French-country furnishings, down comforters, and soaking tubs. On Saturday night the elegant Giverny restaurant, which serves contemporary takes on seafood and game, hosts live jazz. Four- and five-course tasting menus are available.

This unassuming 1886 Victorian inn claims fame as the temporary home of author Marguerite Henry, who wrote Misty of Chincoteague. Here, in 1947, she spent two of her six weeks in Chincoteague preparing the background for her renowned children's novel. Miss Molly, the daughter of the home's builder, spent most of her life here. Guests have their pick of five bay-front porches loaded with comfy rocking chairs, and there are bicycles and beach gear available for use.

Once a prim little inn, then a raucous bordello, this place above the Star Café has been reincarnated as a unique B&B. Each room is different, but all are furnished with Old West antiques. Only one has a private bath; guests in other rooms share three bathrooms. Folks say Miss Molly's is haunted by friendly ghosts, which scares some guests away and attracts others. While there is no policy excluding children as guests, families with children under 10 are discouraged from staying here.
