5203 Best Hotels in USA

The beige-and-red rooms in this four-story hotel on the Columbia River have balconies and excellent views of the river and Vancouver, Washington. The big-box retail and chain restaurants of Jantzen Beach are nearby, and the airport is fairly close (there's a free shuttle to the terminal) but the location is otherwise not especially convenient or interesting.

An inn since 1773, the Red Lion has hosted presidents, senators, and other celebrities, in the large and historic main building filled with antiques and small guest rooms. If you don't care about authentic ambience or prefer more space and modern furnishings, request a room in one of the annexes.

The best of the three chain hotels in Polson offers comfortable beds and clean, quiet rooms, some of which have stunning views of Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains. Mackenzie River Pizza and Grill, a local favorite, serves pub-style food and local beer right next door. 

Way out on the western edge of the Las Vegas suburbs, this swanky golden-age Vegas property looks out on the ocher-red Spring Mountains, just a stone's throw from Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Inside, dozens of crystal chandeliers contrast with earthy sandstone walls and teak-marble floors. Rooms upstairs are among the nicest in all of Vegas, mixing modern touches such as mini-sculptures and USB ports with traditional elements such as couches. Suites take accommodations to another level, with pool tables and private patios (some even with private pools). Red Rock has a large public pool area, a 16-screen movie theater, a bowling alley, a vast selection of excellent restaurants (some with outdoor patios), and rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows. Even the gaming area is exquisite; the sports book has its own VIP area and three video walls that can combine into one huge screen. There's also a poker room. Factor in the live music in the hopping Rocks Lounge, occasional ticketed concerts in the backyard pool area and walking distance to baseball and other attractions in the Downtown Summerlin shopping district, and you can see why a lot of repeat visitors decide to skip the Strip.

The more popular choice in town, the Herkimer Motel gets lots of compliments on cleanliness and service. Inexpensive though it is, it offers an outdoor pool and fitness room, and is conveniently located for further excursions into the area.

Affordable rates are the draw at this motel, 11 miles west of Downtown and 5 miles from Pittsburgh International Airport.

Convenient to the action without being smack in the middle of it, the bohemian-chic Redbury is a stylish hotel with three Roman-inspired dining venues by acclaimed restaurateur Danny Meyer, including the pizzeria Marta (reserve ahead) and wine bar Vini e Fritti. Guest rooms are cozy, with whimsically colorful decor.

The only privately owned property and lodge on 9-mile Crescent Lake offers excellent meals, plenty of comfort, memorable adventures, and a fantastic view of Mt. Redoubt—the park's volcano—8 miles away. The lodge can assist you with getting outfitted for kayaking, paddleboarding, wildlife-viewing, fishing, flightseeing, and photography trips. Airfare from Anchorage and fishing licenses are included in the rates.

This collection of more than 125 homes in the Wawona area is a great alternative to the overcrowded valley. Fully equipped options range from cozy one-bedroom cabins to spacious six-bedroom houses with plenty of room for groups. Most have fireplaces, many have Wi-Fi, and all have decks with barbecues. The property rarely fills up, even in summer, so it's a good choice for last-minute lodging; there's a two-night minimum in the off-season and a three-night minimum in summer and on holidays.

This older motor lodge might have new ownership, but it's still decidedly, and charmingly, stuck in the past: what used to be a complete homage to the American Western is now home to a kitschy, quirky vibe throughout the motel-style rooms, which are being renovated one-by-one. Vinyl records adorn the walls of one room, while another has a vintage rotary phone. The John Wayne memorabilia is gone, replaced by stronger Wi-Fi and updated fixtures. 

Set on 17 acres overlooking Blackwater Sound, this hotel has been given a much-needed refresh, including the rooms, which span traditional and two-bedroom suite-style accommodations. A private beach, marina, and dive shop provide plenty of water-based activities. Amenities include By the Bay Spa, a 24-hour fitness center, poolside Flipper's Bar, Breezer’s Tiki Bar, and Gus' Grille for all-day dining in a waterfront setting with outdoor covered patio.

Walk to the ocean side of the soaring atrium at this family- and pet-friendly hotel (formerly the Loews) and you feel like you're on a cruise ship: massive windows give way to the expansive sea below, and sunny "experience managers" are just a text away. All rooms are a minimum of 720 square feet and offer soaking tubs and rain showers, marble counters, and walk-in closets. Rooms come with a complimentary "refreshment center" stocked with drinks and snacks (you can even choose what you want before you arrive). Higher rooms have arched ceilings with side skylights. The state-of-the-art fitness center is joined by the West Coast's only Guerlain spa for true L.A.-grade training and primping. The experience managers are joined by beach butlers to plan out and enhance your stay. Meet friends in the clubby lobby, take in the ocean views over fresh Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare at the dreamy Orla by celebrity chef Michael Mina, or enjoy tableside cocktails at the Orla Bar. If you're seeking something simpler, try Sweet July Cafe (featuring another hot chef collab with Ayesha Curry) for warm drinks, pastries, and other quick bites. Kids and pets go first-class at the Regent, with loaner gear, amenity kits, and special activities.

The Region is plain-Jane from the front, and inside the rooms are a bit dark, but all are updated and comfortable. The three-story motel is independently owned, and the staff's accessibility and responsiveness reflects that. Tequila's restaurant off to the side is quite serviceable and fun for a drink at least.

At this waterfront fisherman's hotel you can watch the commercial-fishing fleet and other maritime traffic sail by. Be sure to ask for a harbor-view room to watch for otters and waterfowl at play.

Microwaves and refrigerators are available for a small charge, and two of the suites offer a kitchenette.

Located near Boston's working fish piers and very close to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, this property caters largely to a business clientele. Overall, its decor feels part nautical part preppy, and most guest rooms have water views. The fitness center features a lap pool.

Perched on prime real estate on the south bank of the Chicago River, this cosmopolitan spot is shouldered by high-rises but you can still enjoy fantastic views of the Chicago skyline right from your room. Stay on the slightly pricier club levels for complimentary weekday access to a private business center, continental breakfast, hors d'oeuvres, and nonalcoholic drinks.

This grand 14-story 1851 hotel is within walking distance of the Cleveland Convention Center, the Flats, the Theater District, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Rooms are bright and airy, a touch deco even, with ample balconies that afford pool or mountain views.

Everything is intimate at Marriott's nongaming hotel off the Strip on Paradise Road, a favorite of business travelers because of the location right next to the Las Vegas Convention Center. There are \"only\" 578 rooms and suites in this property, and most of them are smaller than the standard accommodations on the Strip. Bathrooms are diminutive, too, but do come with separate tubs and glass shower stalls. Even the pool is small. The property lacks a casino but has everything to suit a convention visitor's needs, including access to the monorail and some room packages offering breakfast at the on-site restaurant Grill 55.

Striking modern architecture, a rooftop pool, and 9,000 square feet of European-style spa space make for a luxury accommodation, combined with a convention center, downtown. A performing-arts center and three restaurants are on the premises, including a seafood spot and a pub with nightlife. Rooms feature luxurious bedding—nice to sink into after a massage or time in the sauna following a workout.

Though the hotel's R Lounge space is more about the view than the cuisine, it's a great place for breakfast overlooking the crossroads of the world.
