5204 Best Hotels in USA

An economical but stylish downtown boutique hotel, the Selina (formerly known as the Commodore) is a favorite with young and artsy souls from Portland and Seattle thanks to its vintage-chic aesthetic, large wall murals and photos, and hip Street 14 Café off the lobby. The three-story building opened as a hotel in the 1920s, but sat vacant for 40 years until a 2009 rehab; If you don't mind sharing a bathroom and don't require too much space, book one of the cozy "cabins," which offer communal bathroom facilities.

This historic Mediterranean-revival inn has lovely Old Florida original touches like cypress ceilings and pine floors. It's run by Jonnie Wall Flewelling, an Indiantown native whose family has owned the property for decades. Hunters, fishers, and birders are fans of this spot for its location, but it's got enough Southern charm to attract everyone—and the restaurant serves the finest fried-green tomatoes around. Carpeted rooms are done in country ruffles, and there are rocking chairs on the porch and a sitting area on the second floor. Indiantown memorabilia decorates the lobby, and there's good local art throughout, including a mural depicting the Seminole tribe's history.

Just as modern are the renovated accommodations in the 1870 Parker House, named for the local seaman who commissioned it. Among the quietest rooms at the hotel, which is just off the highway and has some noise issues, especially outdoors, are the three in the Nook, which has vineyard views. 

Brown carpeting and red drapes decorate the spacious rooms of this hotel. With its inlaid cedar accents and comfortable deck chairs, the room housing the indoor pool is surprisingly stylish for a small-town hotel.

The personal details carry over into the rooms where each guest is greeted with a cheese and cracker tray, and breakfast is delivered each morning.

Take a short walk into town or enjoy the tranquility from the rocking chairs outside your suite.

In a thickly forested setting near the bank of the Resurrection River, this lodging 2 miles north of Seward has the feel of a mountain upscale cabin.

The closest hotel to Google’s campus feels more like Palm Springs than Silicon Valley. There’s a central courtyard with palm trees, a pool, and a Jacuzzi. Elsewhere, there’s a sauna, steam room, and 24-hour fitness center including Peloton bikes. Still, it’s no surprise that the hotel has an app that allows guests to adjust preferences like lighting and temperatures in their rooms. All beds (including those in guest rooms with two beds) are king beds with very comfortable mattresses and 100% Egyptian cotton linens. Besides its location, the biggest draws for the hotel are the Emerald Hour craft cocktail bar and the Broma restaurant (Spanish cuisine).

The larger, open-air suite is spacious enough for a family of four. You can also reserve both spaces together. You can borrow bodyboards, beach towels, and beach chairs.

The famed Morris Lapidus–designed Shelborne hotel is a retro-chic art deco treasure with stylish yet functional rooms and plenty of oh-so–South Beach amenities, including the beach's most oversized poolside cabanas (which also happen to be air-conditioned), a slick pool deck, a private beach club, and a location that offers direct access to downy sands, art deco, and superlative shopping. The lobby has been refurbished to its original mid-century modern splendor, thanks to Meg Sharpe Interiors. Sputnik lamps light the way as you walk on classic terrazzo flooring and explore various settings. Some areas are the epitome of Mad Men style, others made modern and whimsical by the addition of animal prints and chrome accents. The rooms tend to be on the small side, but the incredible location makes up for it (and translates to minimal lingering). Outside, original diving board towers are a reminder of a bygone era. The pool deck retains its charm, though modernized with chaise lounges, sun umbrellas, and a fully stocked bar.

Tall windows front the water at this modern lodge along Craig's South Boat Harbor that offers hotel accommodations all year round or all-inclusive fishing packages in the summer.

Fresh seafood tops the restaurant's menu, along with steaks, delectable desserts, and Alaskan beers. Prime rib attracts the locals on Friday and Saturday night.

With whimsically sumptuous decor styled by celebrity fashion designer Randolph Duke, this early-19th-century farmhouse inn and restaurant has 21st-century Instagrammability.

The Farmhouse Kitchen + Bar serves dinner Wednesday--Sunday.

The 16-story Sheraton is one of the city's best hotels, with rooms that are sleek (but not sterile) and accented with comfy beds and postcard views. Upper-level rooms overlook Cook Inlet and Mt. Susitna, the city, or the Chugach Range. From rooms on the north and east sides, watch Air Force jets fly in formation and small planes take off from Merrill Field. The restaurant Jade serves made-to-order breakfast. In the Ptarmigan Bar, enjoy small bites and an Alaska brew from a leather club chair in front of the rock fireplace. The modern Ice Spa is a perfect place to pamper yourself after a hike on the local trails. The property also features a clean, bright, 24-hour fitness center with mountain views.

In this convention-, family-, and pet-friendly hotel, there's ample meeting and exhibit space, a pool under a retractable roof, and fine dining with delicious takes on Southern fare. The rooms are spacious relative to other Downtown options and just as functional. Families will appreciate thoughtful touches such as tabletop checkers games and complimentary swim diapers for the pool. The lush courtyard and relaxing mezzanine set against brick arches offer respite. If you’re traveling with kids, ask for a room in the North Tower, courtyard side, which offers easier access to the pool.

The stately 1927 Harvard Square landmark overlooking Cambridge Common park features classic furnishings (hello four-poster beds) in handsome, warm tones, but it's the hotel's signature bright-red neon sign towering overhead that really puts it on the map as a Cambridge classic. In the lobby and common spaces, lovely architectural touches include grand arches and a bi-level ballroom with a carved ceiling and gilt mirrors. The on-site Nubar Restaurant & Lounge is the perfect place to escape into a stylish setting with a cocktail.

LAX's swankier hotel had some serious work done to its already sleek look, yet the appeal is in more than just the style; in-transit visitors love the 24-hour room service, pool (with private cabana rentals) and hot tub, fitness center, and airport shuttle, making this the perfect option for an early-morning flight. (That's provided you don't use a car; while room rates are reasonable, parking is $75.) The soundproofed rooms are compact, with slightly softer aesthetics than the refreshed lobby, and have helpful details such as coffee makers, hooks for hanging garment bags, and oversize work desks, which act in tandem to make the guest rooms feel more sophisticated than corporate. An on-site brasserie, California bistro, indoor-outdoor bar and Starbucks offer culinary variety. Pets are welcome.

The culture and heritage of the Pima and Maricopa tribes are reflected in every aspect of this tranquil property on the grounds of the Gila River Indian community, 11 miles south of Sky Harbor Airport. Guest rooms are detailed with Native American art and textiles, and Kai Restaurant, one of Arizona's best, combines Southwestern and Native American culinary traditions. Families enjoy the Koli Center for on-site equestrian activities and the kids-oriented activity pool. A 2½-mile replica of the Gila River meanders through the property; you can take a boat to the Whirlwind Golf Clubhouse or the nearby Wild Horse Pass Casino. Keep your eyes open for the wild horses for which the resort is named—or keep them comfortably closed at the Aji Spa.

An urban sanctuary amid iconic attractions, this hotel calls out to families with its generously sized rooms and indoor pool, while business travelers appreciate the large amount of meeting space. And everyone loves the Chicago Burger Company, a lively riverfront restaurant.
