1204 Best Hotels in USA

Though the nearby Standard, High Line has stolen some of its thunder, there's still plenty to draw guests to this Meatpacking District pioneer, starting with the sleek rooms that overlook the city or the Hudson River and the rooftop deck with a 45-foot heated pool. Rooms feature large windows, hardwood floors, leather accents, and a lululemon Studio Mirror for in-room workouts. The Coin restaurant serves French-inspired cuisine. The rooftop is home to Saishin, an omakase-focused sushi spot with a great view. 

Eco-friendly touches abound at this hotel, from the plant-covered "green roof" to wooden decks made from salvaged lumber. A block from Healdsburg Plaza, the H2Hotel is within walking distance of many restaurants, shops, and tasting rooms, and many wineries are just a short drive away. Earthy items like striped tiger-bamboo floors, wool-felt area rugs, and side tables made from blocks of elm lend warmth to the guest rooms, whose white walls and bedding inspire serenity. Rooms come in three categories (from smallest to largest): eco-king, eco-studio, and eco-suite. Each room has a patio or small balcony, and the thoughtful touches include ample luggage storage and king beds that can be converted into two twins.

A boutique hotel a block off the Venice Beach Boardwalk, the Erwin will make you feel like a hipper version of yourself. It has spacious, modern, airy rooms (somewhat of a rarity in Venice) and a local-favorite rooftop bar and lounge (appropriately named High). Splashes of orange, yellow, and green add playfulness to the clean white guest rooms, and on the sixth level, rooms have tiled floors and higher ceilings than elsewhere. Guests here enjoy a free California-style breakfast. Otherwise, you can enjoy the Barlo Kitchen + Cocktails or viral Pizza Girl restaurant on-site, or the freshly revamped rooftop bar's small-bites selections; the dining options here emphasize fresh ingredients and dishes made from scratch. Guests have free use of the hotel's bicycles as well as a range of sports and beach equipment.

Located along the beach's lesser-known western perimeter and overlooking the bay, this hotel recently underwent a multimillion-dollar transformation; the focal points are a new beach club, a spa, and a happening pool scene. The standout feature, Baia Beach Club, is an open-air living room space where members can drift through to dine or lounge as they please. The pool scene here is always a place to be. Tropical and handmade macramé artwork set the stage for fresh and simple guest rooms, each curated with a sleek kitchen area. The West Avenue location affords picture-perfect sunsets, but it's a 10- to 15-minute trek to the beach.

Royal Palm South Beach Miami, now part of Marriott's individualistic Tribute Portfolio, is a daily celebration of art deco, modernity, and design detail. Laura Rottet of Rottet Studios was charged with reinventing South Beach's original 1939 Royal Palm and Shorecrest buildings alongside the Royal Palm's younger annexes to create a seamless design masterpiece. Rooms assume a classic South Beach identity with blends of whites and pops of tropical colors. Double-door minibars open to a world of local Florida products, while colossal, wood-framed mirrors function as sliding doors for the oversize bathrooms. Beyond design brilliance, Royal Palm is an endless indulgence of the best of South Beach, including plenty of beachside and poolside bliss, excellent eating at its in-house restaurant, Byblos, and fabulous people-watching. The hotel's location at 15th and Collins places Royal Palm in the heart of the South Beach action.

A commitment to next-level eco-friendly policies is evident in the smallest details at this hotel, from in-room chalkboards (instead of notepads) to triple-filtered water straight from the taps that eliminates the need for bottled water. Surprisingly quiet rooms are sleek and inviting, with huge walk-in showers, cozy window seats, and memorably comfortable beds. Extra conveniences include clear light controls, a big flat-screen TV with streaming capabilities, and Jams restaurant from Jonathan Waxman right downstairs. With living (green plants) vertical walls at every door entry, this hotel leaves a lasting impression that makes guests think about how their choices impact the environment.

The sustainability and green-everything boutique hotel concept planted its flag in San Francisco in 2022 and quickly emerged as one of the city's most in-demand places to spend the night for both leisure travelers and the well-heeled business set. From the actual moss that resides in a frame by every guest room, to the reclaimed wood design elements and leather headboards in each room, nature—hip, somewhat posh nature—is the clear theme. It curiously feels like a Tulum jungle yoga getaway meets upscale urban aesthetic. Some rooms have spectacular bay views where you almost feel on top of the Ferry Building and a few suites have stunning terraces overlooking the skyline. Don't miss the cocktails in the ground-floor restaurant, Terrene, which frequently incorporates discarded or upcycled ingredients into its drink creations.

Tucked in among the shops on Bay View Street, just off Main Street, this boutique hotel is an ideal pied-à-terre for accessing all the pleasures of in-town Camden without needing a car. The Vintage Room, an intimate cocktail lounge, is open to the public, as is a rooftop terrace bar; both serve small plates (some of them vegan and gluten-free). Called The View for good reason, the latter offers spectacular panoramas of harbor and bay. On a fine summer evening, it's the best spot in town.

This historic home in the heart of Southampton Village fulfils many a wish list, with its central location and quintessential colonial style, from the wide clapboards outside to the wood beams and four-poster beds within. The name dates it as accurately as possible, and it sits on an earlier cellar dating to 1648. Antiques, Asian rugs, and rich fabrics abound, and public areas include an informal card room, a more formal dining room, and an even more formal parlor. Some rooms are elegantly rustic; others are simply elegant, and all are true to the age and style of the house. Children under 12 are welcome in the cottages, which also feature kitchens. Breakfast, afternoon tea, and unlimited soft drinks and beach parking passes in season are included.

Fresh flowers, lovely antiques, and touches of Portuguese lace set the mood at this Queen Anne–style beauty. Its key selling point is the location, across the street from Skaneateles Lake and Clift Park. You can easily walk to shopping, a boat ride, and dinner. The excellent breakfasts include German pancakes.

This innovative hotel, housed in a historic bank building, is the perfect fusion of art museum and boutique hotel. Its signature colorful penguins can be spotted throughout, and rotating art exhibits are on display in place of a traditional lobby. Guest rooms are similarly modern and very comfortable. The Counting House restaurant serves creative cocktails and Southern-inspired entrées, pastas, and small plates, and the small hotel spa offers massages. Even if you don't stay here, be sure to tour the edgy galleries and visit the underground bank vault and its eerie series of passageways.

A pair of upscale private rentals, on the trolley line one minute from downtown Eureka Springs, are showplaces of fine art, accessories, and interior design. Both are owned by Arkansas Show House designer Shirley Cantrell. The Abernathy is a generously sized one-bedroom jewel featuring a full kitchen, private deck, fireplace, and Jacuzzi tub for two nicely positioned underneath a skylight. The companion property, The Studio, which opened in 2013, is an equally enticing but smaller version. Shirley's packages also include complimentary fresh fruit, baked goods, juice, coffee, tea, and soft drinks.

Though it's located a brief walk from many of Portland’s most popular sites—from East End Beach and Casco Bay Lines to shopping in Old Port—it isn’t just the location that brings many guests back to this hotel. Rooms are swathed in classic-meets-modern design, and many have unobstructed views of Casco Bay. Bathrooms have rainforest shower heads, and there's a quite-good tapas bar, a well-appointed fitness center, and a convenience store on-property.

If you're seeking the convenience of Downtown with ultramodern style, vibe, and amenities, this Marriott boutique hotel fits the bill nicely.

The front door of this sleek boutique hotel leads directly out to the Vancouver Waterfront Trail, Vancouver Landing Amphitheater, and the growing collection of restaurants, wineries, and shops that make up the city's bustling and beautifully designed riverfront. Common amenities include a well-equipped fitness center, a kitchen and a lounge where you can order breakfast or light tapas and drinks into the evening.

Just a minute's walk from both the center of Rockport and the train station, this 1851 inn sits in a prime location. The sizable and beautifully decorated rooms have their share of antiques and local seascape paintings, as well as pine floors and large, private marble bathrooms; the large Dog Watch suite contains a luxe king bed, Oriental rugs, and has a comfortable seating area. In the third-floor suite, with its own entrance, huge windows look out over the rooftops to the sea. In the afternoon, sweet treats are set out for guests. Children age 12 and older are welcome.

Elegant Victorian furnishings fill this cozy, cedar-shingled beach mansion overlooking the ocean. As welcoming in winter as it is in summer, the adults-only inn, built in 1902, retains original tin ceilings and woodwork, and though the style is formal, the atmosphere is relaxed. Sip morning coffee on a porch rocking chair or meet for afternoon tea in the fancy parlor.

Bird and wildlife watchers can get a singular experience at St. George's only hotel, a small, rustic building with a dark-wood interior and a mix of modern and vintage furniture. The government built the place in 1930 to house visiting officials and transient workers, and it's now a National Historic Landmark. It can accommodate up to 18 guests in 10 sparsely furnished rooms with shared bathrooms. There is also a communal kitchen and living space. Guests should bring food to cook in the communal kitchen because there are no restaurants on the island and only one small store with limited hours. The hotel is run by the St. George Tanaq Corporation.

This property, with apartment-style rooms, is a mix of long- and short-term stays with great views of the city. The impressive amenities, all of which are on the 28th floor, include an outdoor lounge and garden, private in-house cinema with fully automated leather seating, a 3D indoor golf simulator, an indoor infinity pool, and high-tech business and fitness centers. The ground-floor Walnut Street Café is a solid option, especially for breakfast, when you don't want to travel far.

This B&B on the grounds of an old banana plantation past Oheo Gulch (about a 40-minute drive southwest from Hana town) is a simple, back-to-nature kind of spot that is "off the grid." Banana trees still populate the property, alongside mango, papaya, coconut, and avocado trees. There's also a Balinese garden, complete with a lotus-shaped pond. The single room has a private lanai with an outdoor kitchenette, shower, and tub (there's a regular shower in the room as well), and astonishing views of the coastline. Sam and Mercury, a mother-daughter team, live on-site in the main house and are available to give tips and advice about exploring the area. Note that the owners prefer not to host children.

On a scenic stretch of Highway 39 in Ogden Canyon, between Ogden and Pineview Reservoirs, this rustic but upscale riverside lodge with cabins is perfect for a quiet getaway that's not too far from civilization, yet offers easy access to hiking, boating, and Ogden Valley skiing. Relax with a stroll in the garden, or soak up the sun on the terrace or deck. Accommodations come in a range of styles, from more compact standard rooms in the main lodge to romantic cabins with custom-built log furniture and jetted soaking tubs. 

This 1909 Greek Revival home in the upscale Grove Park residential area was home to Hungarian composer Béla Bartók when he wrote his famous "The Asheville Concerto." You can stay in his room on the third floor, although other rooms with private balconies overlooking lovely gardens or working fireplaces may appeal more to modern Romeos and Juliets.

Tranquility pervades the airy, California Craftsman–style, four-story Ambrose, which blends right into its mostly residential Santa Monica neighborhood. Expect crisp linens, high ceilings, and sea-themed hues in cozy rooms. Management prides itself on "green" practices like using nontoxic cleaning products and reducing water use. Windows are double paned for quiet; upper floors have partial peeks of ocean in the distance. The somewhat limited all-day dining menu include healthy choices and Groundwork coffee. The small garden allows for a peaceful hideaway in the middle of the city. Perks like a fitness center with Peloton bikes, beach cruiser usage, Wi-Fi, L'Occitane toiletries, an evening wine reception, and Tesla car service are included with the $29 daily amenity fee. E-bike rentals are available.

If you desire personal attention, a casual atmosphere, and a dollop of style, stay at these twin inns spread out on nearly 2 acres. Ambrosia is more intimate, with themed rooms such as the Treetop, Sailfish Suite, and Havana Cabana. Ambrosia Too is a delightful art-filled hideaway. Rooms and suites have original work by local artists, wicker or wood furniture, and spacious bathrooms. Each has a private entrance and deck, patio, or porch. A poolside full breakfast is included, and children are welcome.

A Western theme, complete with mounted animals, dominates the public areas of this contemporary hotel. Guests will find the rooms basic yet clean. Whirlpool suites are available. The indoor pool also has a whirlpool. The two-story building is three blocks from downtown, so restaurants and stores are nearby.

Part of the Hyatt family, this boutique hotel with an urban-hip vibe has spacious guest rooms with white-marble bathrooms stocked with high-quality products. Rooms come in several categories, from standard kings to loftlike rooms, some of which have a private balcony and face an interior terrace. Dual-sided glass-enclosed fireplaces facing both the sitting and sleeping areas are a nice touch in junior-suite rooms. The lobby is a cross between living room and lounge. There's no front desk. Instead, hosts appear with iPads for speedy check-in, immediately offering a beverage to make guests feel in good care.

The interiors at the Andaz make quite a statement: the exposed-brick walls in the spacious lobby are offset by cozy, nested seating areas. Rooms have fine linens, complimentary minibar snacks and nonalcoholic beverages, and complimentary Wi-Fi, and the restaurant serves farm-to-table breakfast and dinner, while the bar has classic cocktails and contemporary offerings.

Small touches of heavenly luxury greet you upon arrival, from the fountain in the front plaza to the stately double-door entrance flanked by large lanterns. The one- to three-bedroom condos are well-kept, with porches that maximize every inch of their oceanfront vista. The on-site Awakening Spa is a pampering pleasure, there are two outdoor pools and a lazy river, and guests can play for free at the mini-golf course next door. Across the street, Magnolia's at 26th Restaurant serves a Lowcountry lunch buffet.

Experience front-porch hospitality and mix with lively locals in this elegant 1830s home, complete with original details, such as the wood plank flooring. With only three remodeled guest rooms, each with some period furniture and two with whirlpool baths, you'll never feel crowded. The owners also rent out a bungalow across the street, and its inviting pool is available to Inn guests.
