5218 Best Hotels in USA

Originally built in 1985 in the style of a Federalist mansion for Morrison’s wife, Morrison House was later turned into a bed-and-breakfast-style boutique hotel. It has old-town charm with modern amenities; the Study at Morrison offers small plates, craft cocktails, and a local beer and wine selection.

Operated by and adjacent to the joyfully kitschy Trees of Mystery roadside attraction, this casual mid-century motel has simply furnished rooms brightened with paintings and, in some cases, wall-length photographic murals of local redwoods and coastal scenes. It's a handy base for exploring Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park and the trails and overlooks around Klamath. The seasonal on-site restaurant serves basic American grub.

An old, rundown motel was reborn in 2022 as a hip motor lodge with attractive, minimalist rooms in black-and-white decor, supercomfortable beds, big-screen streaming TVs, and cool amenities—including a year-round hot tub and Pendleton Whisky barrel sauna. There's convenient parking right outside your room and downtown is just a 5-minute walk. While there are no eateries on site, rooms have mini-fridges for stashing your snacks and beverages. Off-season rates can be below $100, making this an affordable getaway for a no-frills but very comfortable stay. 

Rising quite literally from the ashes of burned-out and boarded-up buildings on the edge of downtown, this sleek, luxurious hotel is renewing not only its pampered guests but Detroit's inner city as well. The hotel's "future retro" décor subtly pays tribute to both the auto industry and the music of Motown. The spacious rooms have comfy beds with duvets and a choice of 15 different pillows. The stylish bathrooms feature large walk-in showers, oversized towels, bathrobes, and slippers. And while the property includes a sprawling casino, hotel guests need never see a slot machine (or smell the smoke) unless they choose.

This sleek 42-floor property, first flicking on its lights in 2022, is a breath of fresh air on the Chelsea hotel landscape—especially if you're lucky enough to get a room on the higher floors to enjoy the stunning views. Rooms feature comfy platform beds with channel-tufted headboards and bathrooms clad in handsome blue tiles. Guest room walls are bedecked with art and photographs that reference New York City. For families, some rooms offer a king-size bed with a twin bed above it as a bunk. The on-property state-of-the-art fitness center is worth getting worked-up about. 

The resort's Craftsman-style private chalets, all with gas-log fireplaces, are nestled among tall pine trees along the shore of Lake Siskiyou. The Highland House Restaurant, above the clubhouse of a spectacular 18-hole golf course, has uninterrupted views of Mt. Shasta. Take the Central Mt. Shasta exit west from I–5, then go south on Old Stage Road.

Although it occupies a 1919 building designated a National Historic Landmark, the Mount View skews modern, with a cheery lobby and a boutique, slightly continental feel. Three cottages have private redwood decks and whirlpool tubs; these and the second-floor suites and junior suites, which have separate sitting areas, are more spacious than the other guest rooms. All the accommodations have flat-screen TVs, small refrigerators, safes, and Illy espresso makers. Complimentary coffee and breads are delivered to rooms each morning. The full-service True Spa and Johnny's comfort-food restaurant and sports bar operate on the first floor, and there’s a heated pool with a geothermal hot tub out back. Adjacent to the hotel in an open-air space, Robert’s Tropical Table serves Jamaican-inspired cuisine year-round, and the Moonshine outdoor theater screens classic and neoclassic Hollywood films on summer and fall weekends. If you’re looking for ways to occupy your time, Calistoga’s official visitor center is off the lobby.

Abutting 40,000 acres of state and national parks, this airy wooden inn sits on the skirt of Mt. Tamalpais, where you can follow hiking trails all the way to Stinson Beach. Sunrise-facing rooms are built for romance, each mixing huge views of pristine wilderness and the sweeping San Francisco Bay with some combination of balcony, fireplace, and whirlpool tub. Superior rooms feature upscale cabin decor, including wooden vaulted ceilings and bed posters, while the other categories are a bit more standard in design. The on-site bar is a popular spot for guests (and tired hikers) to unwind after a day of exploring the Marin hills.

This contemporary mountain inn, where peeled-pine and vine-maple furniture fills the rooms, is built of sturdy cedar and redwood and sits on a 20-acre alpine meadow with breathtaking Cascade Mountains views. Rooms are outfitted with handmade quilts, binoculars, robes, and port wine; two posh, romantic cabins are perfect for celebrating a special occasion or simply getting away from it all in style. The property offers direct access to miles of wildlife-abundant trails, and there's a hot tub and seasonal heated pool. Lunch and dinner, on-site or to go as a picnic, can be arranged.

The 1987 movie "Dirty Dancing" was filmed here, and the resort (Kellerman's in the movie) is still a popular summer getaway. Centered on the highest natural lake east of the Mississippi, accommodations range from spartan cottages to plush suites in a majestic sandstone hotel from 1930 (the resort itself predates the Civil War). You can also rent two-, three-, and four-bedroom cottages if you need more space for an extended stay. Atop the 4,000-foot Salt Pond Mountain, outdoor activities abound: you can hike, mountain bike, ride horses, swim, and boat within the 2,500-acre Mountain Lake Wilderness, which surrounds the hotel. The adjacent Jefferson National Forest offers even more recreation, including a segment of the Appalachian Trail. A 2012 renovation included a refurbishment of guestrooms and cottages and the addition of an aerial and zip-line adventure course.

This resort, perched above Flathead Lake, offers 30 well-appointed suites surrounding an outdoor pool on meticulously groomed grounds. From your room, enjoy sweeping views of the lake (best from the lakeside lodges) and surrounding mountains. The hotel is well situated for hiking, golfing, rafting, and lake cruising. The log-accented dining room is designed to let you watch the sunset while enjoying smoked pheasant and other delicacies. The dining room is open seasonally; the bar serves light dinners year-round.

Families and dog lovers enjoy these comfortable, charming, whimsically decorated log cabins, which have such unique touches as cow-spotted walls, canoe-paddle headboards, and wooden ducks swimming on the ceiling. Guests can cast a line for trout in the adjacent canal, roast marshmallows at the communal fire pit, or fire up the barbecue in the courtyard.

A beautiful place to relax, renew, and rejuvenate, this quaint mountain inn offers seven suites, a private one-bedroom cottage, a wine bar, a saltwater pool and hot tub, and the full-service Oasis Spa. A full hot gourmet breakfast is served each morning in the dining room overlooking the flower garden. There are also walking trails and places to explore outdoors. Innkeepers Scott and Stuart enjoy welcoming guests and helping plan a peaceful getaway from from the distractions of everyday life. 

Linger over breakfast by the pool and hot tub, which face the Shawangunk cliffs, or in the country kitchen. Later you may want to test your badminton game in the garden or shoot some pool in the cozy rec room, which also features a fireplace. Frills and florals adorn furnishings in the guest rooms.

In the tiny village of Hatch, 15 miles south of Panguitch, you'll find this nicely maintained and reasonably priced campus of cozy cabins and standard hotel rooms, all of them spotlessly clean and attractively decorated with modern furnishings, large flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, microwaves, and high-quality bedding.

This full-service guest-ranch resort in the middle of scenic Paradise Valley and 30 miles north of Yellowstone National Park is a family favorite. The cabins feel luxurious after a day in the saddle. The children's programs offer age-appropriate activities such as hiking, swimming, crafts, hayrides, campfires, and a talent show. Dinners range from Western barbecue to gourmet treats such as grilled bison tenderloin and pan-roasted king salmon. There's a seven-night minimum stay in summer.

This hotel is within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the small boat harbor, the center of summertime activity in Valdez. Nothing about it screams personality, but the service is consistent, and the on-site restaurant is convenient.

This four-season resort hosts everything from cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on 37 miles of trails in the winter to horseback riding, tennis, and swimming and boating in the 740-acre lake throughout the rest of the year. A spa offers a full range of treatments, and the dining room and tavern have a casual, publike feel that benefits from recent renovations with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to mountain views.

Casual elegance and stunning views of the White Mountains define this stately yellow wedding cake of a hotel that dates to 1865 and sprawls over 1,700 acres that include a working farm and a well-maintained golf course. The period-furnished rooms have tall windows to take advantage of those impressive Presidential Range vistas, and the activity offerings—geared both to kids and adults—are extensive, including a movie theater, indoor pool, campfires with s'mores, mountain biking, hiking, dogsledding, ice-skating, and cross-country skiing. The restaurant and bar serve three meals daily.

This family-run motor lodge in the laid-back town of Manson is just a 10-minute walk from the shore of Lake Chelan and several tasting rooms and restaurants. Although the rooms are a little dark, and the decor is a bit dated, it's a convenient base for wine touring and exploring the region. In addition to standard rooms, there are family suites with kitchenettes.

On the north side of the tiny town of Packwood, this quiet motel is 40 miles from both Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens, and 17 miles from White Pass Ski Resort. Rooms here have pine paneling, hardwood floors, and in many cases log furniture, microwaves, and refrigerators; family suites have fireplaces and sleep six. There's also a picnic area.

This cheerful, squeaky-clean motel is just a few miles south of the Great Sand Dunes, in the tiny town of Fort Garland, and makes a great base from which to visit the park and other San Luis Valley attractions.

At first glance, this family-run waterfront property looks like a slightly above-average two-story motel, but it legitimately lays claim to the title of resort thanks to a private beach; two hot tubs; alluring lake and mountain vistas; and summertime barbecuing, kayaking, and other extras. About half the rooms have king beds, queen sofabeds, and full kitchens, a boon for families or other groups. The remaining kings and all the queens have wet bars. All rooms have patios or balconies, and though the buildings are perpendicular to the lake, the windows are angled to maximize the views. Book well ahead for summer stays; look for online bargains for the rest of the year.

Designed in 1935 by Albert Frey, this intimate, adults-only hotel leans hard into the mid-century minimalist aesthetic throughout its gleaming-white, balcony-studded, two-story buildings and its residential-style rooms, where the accents and bright colors are era-accurate. Although some of the furniture feels like its part of an IKEA golden age collection, the property has recently added such mod cons as Wi-Fi, Keurig coffeemakers, flat-screens, and pillowtop king beds. A cool vibe prevails—in the morning over coffee and continental breakfast, in late afternoon by the pool, and in the evening by the courtyard fire feature.

Enter the Moxy to find a delivery truck selfie station, an infectious party vibe, and hanging neon lights that spell "theatre," which means it fits right into its Theater District location. However, to check in, guests must go up to second floor (where you'll also get a complimentary house cocktail), or just use a mobile phone for keyless room entry. All guest rooms are intentionally small and feature one queen-size bed and furniture that can be folded and moved—the trade-off is inexpensive rates for a central location. There is a 24-hour snack station, and lots of social space, including Bar Moxy.  

Offering both a view of the Ravenel Bridge and a free welcome drink (a Moxy-wide amenity that feels especially appropriate in Charleston), the 131-room Moxy is a high-spirited stay close to popular restaurants. Meals aren't included, but there's a full-service restaurant on the premises, as well as a podcast studio for guests who want to be heard beyond city limits.

Moxy pays tribute to the historic trade in this part of Chelsea, the Flower District, with an on-site florist, a rooftop club 35 floors up called the Fleur Room, and bunches of flowers set in random spaces. The small, but stylish rooms have comfortable king-size beds, floor-to-ceiling windows (upper floors have killer views), and showers are tastefully, bedecked in white tile with rain shower heads. The groundfloor hosts an artisanal bakery, the second-floor bar/lounge serves snacks and cocktails, and the glass-enclosed rooftop bar has 360-degree Manhattan views. 

Walk out the front door of the Moxy Nashville and find yourself in the middle of bustling Hillsboro Village, steps away from local attractions like The Belcourt Theatre, Pancake Pantry, and more. Those traveling for business will find much to like at the Moxy, like well-equipped meeting areas and free Wi-Fi.

The hip Moxy Hotel, which uses playful design details like graffitied mirrors and concert-poster wall art to conjure the neighborhood's gritty past, has an upbeat vibe that fits in seamlessly with what is now a trendy part of the East Village. Rooms aren’t large but make excellent use of space and all have big windows that let in lots of light. There’s plenty of room to relax downstairs in the lobby lounge, which has comfy couches, a terrace that's open to the outdoors in warm-weather months, an all-day café counter, and a full bar serving innovative cocktails. 

Among Midtown's trendy lodging choices is this good-value hotel designed with modern boutique swagger and a vibrant dining and drinking scene. One of several Moxy hotels in NYC, it's perched between Times Square and Penn Station. To maximize limited space, guest rooms employ \"urban camping\" design features such as under-the-bed drawers, hooks instead of closets, and sinks outside the bathroom. Expect comfort no matter the room or bed sizes (even for the bunk beds in some rooms, a treat for kids). Enjoy a drink at Bar Moxy or dine at seafood-centric Legasea. Magic Hour is one of Manhattan's biggest rooftop spaces; half nightclub and half bar, it's decorated as a sort of adults-only amusement park.
