Close to Kailua Beach, this cozy bed-and-breakfast has been around since the 1990s and has two suites that are attached to the main house but have their own private entrances. The Garden Suite has a full kitchenette, while the Ginger Studio has a breakfast bar. Both have Wi-Fi, TV, air-conditioning, and beachy decor. 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. Rooms are modern, and each has a private bathroom, a microwave, a refrigerator, and queen and twin beds. Six of the rooms face the harbor. 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. Located in the village of Shelter Harbor, 5 miles from downtown Westerly, it was first established in 1911 as part of a music colony. The 22 rooms are in the main building and a converted barn; some rooms have en-suite fireplaces. The third-floor Ascend Spa is a soothing retreat that can be enjoyed solo or with a partner, and guests have access to a nearby private beach and an outdoor tennis court. 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. 

Since 1909 this storied downtown hotel has been a favorite of ranchers and business travelers. It's located in the entertainment district, across from the historic Majestic Theatre and about a block from the River Walk. It's generally a better value than hotels directly on the river, especially for a historic hotel. On-site dining includes Market on Houston, a casual café and well-stocked marketplace open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the speakeasy-style Bar 414, featuring Prohibition-era and handcrafted cocktails and blues music. There is a 24-hour fitness center and outdoor heated pool, too. The hotel is on the National Register of Historic Places.

One of the few true oceanfront properties on Kauai, this popular hotel sits on a ribbon of sand in Kapaa and has bright spacious rooms that face the ocean, garden, coconut grove, or pool. Rooms include a coffeemaker, free Wi-Fi, and HDTV, and there's a gift shop, fitness center, coffee shop, juice bar, and three restaurants on-site. Each oceanfront room has a large lanai. The 11-acre site has always been desirable, nestled as it is among ancient coconut groves and close to a coastal bike and walking path, shops, restaurants, and the ocean. Cultural activities include hula, lei-making, and a luau.

Directly across the street from Alliant Energy Center, Dane County Coliseum and Expo Center, and on the Capital City Trail bike path, this hotel also affords breathtaking views of Lake Monona and the downtown Madison's skyline. Each room features a flat-screen television and a one-cup coffeemaker paired with Starbucks coffee, and the signature Sheraton Sweet Sleeper. No-cost courtesy shuttles depart for six spots in downtown Madison daily every half hour between 8 am and 11 pm. Foods inspired by the region are served at Heartland Grill, Sheraton Madison Hotel's on-site restaurant.

Aimed to please corporate groups and conventions, expect top-quality service and a superfast elevator system. In the lobby, a fountain sets a tropical tone, and the Starbucks is a popular meeting spot. A nice balance of Creole- and Cajun-style dishes is served in the airy second-floor Roux Bistro. One of the great downtown eateries, the Palace Café, is right across Canal Street.

Just a mile from the airport, the Sheraton is a full-service resort hotel perfect for business travelers or golf enthusiasts: six of the city's leading courses, including Tour 18 and the Redstone Golf Club (home of the Shell Houston Open) are just minutes away. Rooms have contemporary furnishings, with sitting and work areas so you can really spread out.

A convenient convention hotel, this large, modern Sheraton catering to both business and leisure travelers has airy, common gathering spaces and redecorated guest rooms in tan, pale gray, and light blue. Rooms feature oversize desks, large flat-screen TVs, and a coffeemaker, and the hotel has a business center and an upgraded fitness room with Peloton bikes. Though it's close to many good Center City dining options, there are two restaurants on-site: The Terrace Cafe, serving breakfast (and Starbucks coffee) and lunch; and the Local Cafe, which features breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a bar. Pets are not allowed at the hotel. 

With plush beds, 52-inch flat-screen televisions, and spacious work areas, this Sheraton offers a nice balance of comfort and practicality.

The ground floor features a location of Sang Kee Noodle House, a popular Pan-Asian restaurant that originated in Philly's Chinatown. In a somewhat charmless part of University City, the location is convenient to 30th Street Station, the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and Center City Philadelphia. 

The grande dame of Downtown Phoenix hotels has positioned itself as the go-to residence of convention goers, but its service and proximity to sports and arts venues make it desirable for leisure travelers as well. Rooms feature all the mod cons associated with a convention-caliber hotel, with the generous addition of unobstructed views of the Valley.

The Princess Kaiulani sits across the street from the regal Moana Surfrider, without some of the more elaborate amenities (such as a spa or a kids' club), but with rates that are considerably kinder to the wallet. Rooms are a bit dated and are located within two towers—some peer at the ocean over the Moana's low-rise historic wing. It's a two-minute stroll to the beach. The hotel's pool is streetside, facing Kalakaua Avenue, and cultural activities like hula and ukulele lessons are available on-site. It can feel a bit rushed with guests coming and going, but the location is convenient, and the rooms are more than adequate for the price. Many visitors stay at the PK (as it's called by locals) to spend their days at the beach and the bars across the street.

Rooms at this modern, nine-story resort, which is set amid 10 well-manicured acres along a lovely, private stretch of beach, have excellent views of the Gulf or the nearby Sand Key Park. Most rooms also have balconies or patios. It's one of the region's top convention hotels, but its many amenities—pools, a fitness center, tennis courts—make it ideal for leisure travelers, too.
