This 19th-century building with homey accommodations is close to CBD sights like the Riverwalk and the casino, and offers a less hectic alternative to the convention hotels. The small lobby has a green marble floor and fresh flowers. Some of the small rooms have four-poster beds, all have marble and granite baths, and some, though attractively furnished, do not have windows.

This 1950s throwback recalls the days when parents packed the kids into the station wagon and headed to no-frills seaside motels. The owners have spiffed things up with cute, artsy touches and added a small sunning beach, but basically it's just a motel—nothing fancy but comfortable. Guests don't mind skimping on space (although larger waterfront cottages are available) and a few frills in favor of homey digs, socializing under the chickee, and reasonable rates.

This bright yellow Key West–style Noble House property fuses a heritage seaside charm with understated luxury. Plus, it has Fort Lauderdale's only lazy river! More than three-quarters of the guest rooms are spacious suites, each with a separate living room area. The penthouse is out-of-control gorgeous. Pelican's beachfront is considered private, which enables the resort to offer full-service food and drink on the sand. The serene veranda extends to the edges of the property and has plenty of rocking chairs for gazing at the ocean and enjoying the breeze.

From its slate roof to its whitewashed plaster walls, this Tudor-style inn built in the 1970s is English to the core, with its cozy upstairs guest rooms (no elevator) featuring plenty of antiques and draped half-tester beds. Downstairs, a weathered little pub pours ales and ports; the Snug offers a private fireplace lounge for overnight guests; and a tavern-like restaurant serves fish-and-chips and beef Wellington in candle-lit nooks. Lunch is served, too—a good thing, since your nearest alternatives are miles away via winding roads.

Color is the name of the game at this great little hotel-spa oriented around a rock courtyard and tucked behind a coyote fence right Downtown. Soaking tubs in private, serene spaces are reserved for guests only. Rooms are vibrantly colored and furnished with a mixture of contemporary and retro furniture; many have separate sitting areas and kitchens. Not all rooms are located on-site, but all are within minutes of the main building. The Aqua Room ($80) has an in-room soaking tub. The property also rents about 20 rooms located elsewhere around town.

City history and contemporary design come together with stylish elegance at the Pendry Chicago, in the iconic 1929 art deco Carbide and Carbon Building.

This swanky slopeside resort opened in Canyons Village in 2021, marrying the best of mountain living with modern design.

This cosmopolitan little hotel in a refurbished 19th-century commercial building on the fringe of Old City offers its own brand of urban charm. The owner is a well-regarded Italian-born restaurateur who also runs Ristorante Panorama, the downstairs eatery, and its wine bar, a Guinness World Records holder for its 120-bottle cruvinet system (they pour more than 150 wines by the glass). Rooms are comfortable and rather European looking, some with Chippendale-style furniture and floral wallpaper, others with a more modern feel; some rooms feature fireplaces, balconies, and whirlpool baths. Ask about rooms with views of the Delaware River.

A few miles removed from downtown's flashy main drag, this property set a high standard for luxury in Reno, especially in the Tuscany Tower, whose 600 baroque suites have plush king-size beds, marble bathrooms, and European soaking tubs. The serviceable dining options include Oceano, an over-the-top seafood restaurant that feels like you're eating inside an aquarium; and Romanza Ristorante Italiano, with elegant china place settings and a planetarium-like star show.

In this casual cedar-shingle inn on a tree-lined street, the first floor has a wide porch with rocking chairs—perfect for enjoying coffee or tea with homemade cookies that are set out in the afternoon—and there's a small breakfast room where you can help yourself to muffins and quiche in the morning. The furniture is quirky but comfortable, and the old wing has the most atmosphere. Rooms are set within the main house, an annex (no TVs in the annex), and the 'middle building.' The complimentary mimosas are a nice treat on Sunday.

This industrial-chic stunner—where spacious, airy rooms juxtapose crisp white linens with furnishings and fixtures in rich chocolate-browns and shades of gray—has made off-the-beaten-path Stock Island a Key West destination. The hotel is surrounded by water, so many of the rooms have truly wonderful views, and canine pals are welcome here, with pet-friendly amenities that include a dog park. Matt's Stock Island serves up some of the area's most creative food, with dishes such as crab beignets or grouper with cornbread gnudi (gnocchi-like dumplings).

White columns rise skyward to the large portico at the entrance of this 1907 Georgian Revival mansion on Cape May's peaceful northern shore. Inside, the wide double staircase in the lobby continues the grandeur. Victorian-era rooms are decorated with massive carved headboards, stuffed chairs, and working fireplaces. Some baths have claw-foot tubs. The restaurant encompasses several different rooms: choose to dine by a large fireplace or on the west sunporch.

Symmetrical topiaries flank the steps to this 1785 Georgian manor with leaded-glass windows. A major renovation in 1865 resulted in the Victorian demeanor you see today; amid all the original artwork, period architectural details, and antiques, you could easily mistake your surroundings for a museum. In the dramatic crimson hall, stairs rise to the four guest rooms, all stocked with plush bathrobes, 360-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, boxes of chocolates, bottled water, and fruit baskets.

A cobblestone courtyard and country-French custom furnishings evoke a Provençal mood at this cheery inn.

Many rooms have gas fireplaces, and the lone suite has its own outdoor deck and a whirlpool tub. Afternoon tea, wine, and hors d'oeuvres are served in the lobby by the fire, and breakfast is laid out in the downstairs dining room. The staff has been delivering cordial, personalized service for years.

Milwaukee's grandest old hotel dates from 1893. The lobby's long, high barrel-vaulted ceiling puts you in a Victorian frame of mind from the moment you step in. Rooms are decorated with a Victorian flavor and some are odd shapes, reflecting the complications of pouring modern amenities into an old structure—but this actually adds to the charm. The Pfister is three blocks east of the lakefront. The penthouse-level bar Blu has a view of the skyline. An English tea is served in the fern-shaded dining room most afternoons.

In a grove of cottonwood trees on the canyon floor, Phantom Ranch is accessible only to hikers, river rafters, and mule trekkers; there are 40 dormitory bunk beds and 14 beds in cabins, all with shared baths (though cabins have toilets and sinks). The wood-and-stone buildings originally made up a hunting camp built in 1922. Additional cabins are reserved for mule riders who buy their trips as a package. The mess hall–style restaurant, one of the most remote eating establishments in the United States, serves family-style dinners (purchased separately); breakfast and box lunches are also available. Reservations, taken up to 13 months in advance, are a must for services and lodging.

This bustling convention hotel fills an entire city block, and for an intrinsically impersonal type of place, the Marriott tries hard to meet special needs; it also offers some of the lowest rates in its price category. The softly lit lobby has comfortable seating areas with a sushi bar and a Starbucks steps away. The more than 1,300 guest rooms are brightly decorated, and at no additional cost, you can request one of the hotel’s \"rooms that work,\" with adjustable desks and extra lighting and outlets. The on-site restaurants, Circ Bar and THIRTEEN, serve contemporary American food. If you're driving, you may want to park in a public parking lot, as the hotel charges upwards of $56 a night.

Convenient to downtown sights, this Colonial-style building is two blocks from Penn's Landing, three blocks from Headhouse Square, and four blocks from Independence Hall. Framed by archways, the four-story Greatroom Lobby is flooded with natural light and features spacious communal gathering areas.

The “M Club” lounge level offers upscale food options and versatile work-and-leisure space. Society Commons, the hotel's restaurant, serves classic American fare; the on-site coffee bar offers quick bites.

Relatives of the family that owns the Boonville Hotel are involved in this farm with three inviting cottages and one guest room set in an organic heirloom apple orchard. It all feels very Provençal—the elegant country linens, the floral paintings adorning the walls, the gardens full of herbs and vegetables outside your door. On some weekends, the cottages are reserved for people attending the highly respected on-site cooking school, but midweek a room is often available. The farm stand sells the orchard's apples and pears from late July to Thanksgiving, plus delectable apricot, plum, raspberry, and other jams, including a superb orange marmalade.

The top-hatted bulldog on the sign of this 1880 farmhouse isn't just a mascot: it reflects the hotel's welcoming attitude to pet owners. Inside, a playful attitude permeates the colorful common areas, rooms, and suites, evinced by a seemingly endless supply of knickknacks.

If you prefer to be near the Hill but not in a convention hotel, this family-owned, European-style hotel—which offers small but beautifully appointed and comfortable guest rooms across the street from Union Station—may fit the bill. The Dubliner Restaurant and Pub, a lively spot that sits next door, provides in-room dining, and Irish entertainers perform nightly.

This upscale resort, near Mallory Square in the heart of Old Town, offers a wide range of amenities, including a beach and comfortable, traditionally furnished rooms. The location—on a quiet stretch of shore at the foot of Duval—is ideal as a buffer from and gateway to the action. Its sprawling complex of weathered gray buildings includes an original Conch house. The courtyard is a riot of tall coconut palms and hibiscus blossoms, and rooms are cozy and colorful, with a water, pool, or garden view. Six top-of-the-line suites extend over the water with sunset views. Rooms nearest the public areas can be noisy.

A 1825 brick inn in the heart of the village is filled with antiques, from Chippendale to chinoiserie. If you fall in love with that four-poster bed or mahogany armoire, you can buy it (price tags hang from nearly every furnishing). Most rooms have a wood-burning stove or a fireplace; two have hot tubs. Breakfasts, served in the light-filled Victorian conservatory or on the garden patio, are ample. Sweet aromas also waft from the kitchen in early afternoon, when the innkeeper often bakes cookies to serve with tea.

Tucked just off King Street in the heart of the College of Charleston district, this upscale 24-room inn offers spacious rooms with king beds and in-room laundry, plus suites with full kitchens. From the muted natural tones of the lobby to Instagram-worthy linens and wallpaper in rooms, The Pinch embodies the beautiful South of the city's favorite magazine, Garden & Gun. The ground floor features two restaurants—the Quinte Oyster Bar and Lowland, a 2024 opening from James Beard award–winning chef Jason Stanhope, formerly of FIG. 

A favorite with generations of visitors, the Pine Inn is four blocks from the beach and has Victorian-style furnishings, complete with a grandfather clock, padded fabric wall panels, antique tapestries, and marble tabletops. The property includes a brick courtyard of specialty shops and a modern Italian restaurant. 

From the outside, this lodge on Main Street is constructed like many others built in eastern Oregon during the timber boom of the late 1920s, using wood from the original mines' construction. Inside, the wood mingles with walls of deep blues and reds, reflecting a clean, homespun beauty. Thirteen assorted rooms of varying decor and size are available in the lodge and the adjacent structures called the Blue Dog and The Yellow House. The standalone Main Shack is Halfway's oldest standing building and has a tree growing out of one side and a separate bunk room for kids. You can "rock out" in high-backed wicker rocking chairs on the porches, or take a swing on the hammock. Rather than an alarm clock, Pine Valley's wake-up call alerts the nose instead of the ears with homemade scones; the innkeepers serve up a hearty full breakfast to fuel guests for the day's outdoor adventures.

Entry to the property, which is in a residential area, is through a courtyard overflowing with colorful flowers and featuring a koi pond. Each of the four rooms has plantation-style furniture, well-equipped kitchenettes, private bathrooms and lanais, and either full or partial ocean views; the separate two-bedroom cottage is ideal for families.
