Set on 55 acres in west Charlottesville, this local landmark resembles an English country inn, with flower gardens, ponds, and a gristmill from 1834. Rooms have king-size four-poster beds and Italian linens, and many are decked out with balconies or fireplaces. There are lots of activities hosted here, from cooking classes and wine tastings, to hot-air ballooning. The Old Mill Room restaurant, the Inn's fine dining outlet, is open for a lunch buffet and dinner, while Bistro 1834 and the Birdwood Grill offer more casual fare.

Giving you easy access to the hustle and bustle of River Street, this boutique hotel is a much-needed addition to the hotel landscape—instead of the Victorian decor that's so prevalent in Savannah; a stay at the Bohemian is like settling into a gentleman's study in a regal English manse. The hotel was designed as homage to the British maritime settlers who first colonized this area in 1733, including Gen. James Oglethorpe himself. Think heavy woods studded with brass, dark tufted leather, and elaborate lighting fixtures crafted from shells and driftwood. The Bohemian's rooftop is a chic lounge with indoor and outdoor seating that has become a popular nightspot for locals; the crowd is generally 30 and under, so the scene can be rowdy. A restaurant is on the River Street level. It's a handsome place to wash up, and like Savannah's founders, you might just be persuaded to stay a while.

This spot proves it's possible to find quiet, homey accommodation on Bourbon Street.

Those looking for desert landscapes and some stargazing—guests must be 21 or older—may enjoy this self-check-in adobe Southwestern-style hotel that houses spacious rooms, which boast plenty of natural light, original art, pine beds, and corner fireplaces. Rooms also feature desert gardens of mesquite, ocotillo, and creosote right outside. Every room opens onto its own on the enclosed garden, which includes chaises, chairs, and a table. The high-desert hot tubs add a romantic touch, but the clothing-optional pool and self-check-in system (operating like an Airbnb) might not be for everyone. For more space, request the cozy casita.

Watch elk stroll past your spacious luxury suite at this smart, secluded spot on the river amid towering pines.

This hotel's location is about as central as it gets, though the beautiful courtyard and pool provide welcome sanctuary from the loud, 24-hour Bourbon Street action just outside the door. Be sure to request one of the well-appointed, traditionally styled guest rooms that overlook the greenery and not the street. There are ergonomic office chairs and free in-room Wi-Fi, and some rooms have balconies. The lobby exudes turn-of-the-20th-century New Orleans glamour, and the Bourbon O bar is a classy place to people-watch over cocktails.

This 19th-century Queen Anne–style B&B, with fascinating turrets and period details, is a companionable sister to the family of architectural beauties in Wilmington's 230-block historic district, putting it within easy walking distance of the city's riverfront shopping and dining. New owners in 2022 undertook a complete remodel of rooms and shared spaces, balancing the home's history with modern amenities, new beds, and stylish decor.

A natatorium, pool, and full-service spa add to the old-world luxury. There is a daily resort fee, which includes breakfast, morning coffee, afternoon tea, Wi-Fi, access to the fitness center, and shuttle service to the Virginia Highlands Airport.

One of the newer additions to Portland's hotel landscape, there’s a soft contemporary feel throughout the property—abstract carpets, plenty of warm lighting, textured headboards, compact tables, and multimedia artwork give guest rooms a nice mix of sleekness and coziness.

This shingle-style, 19th-century mansion, originally one of the area's many summer "cottages," commands a magnificent ocean view that takes in the Bush estate at Walker's Point; its location is just far enough from the bustle of town to feel like you've gotten away from it all.

Breakfast and afternoon refreshments are included, along with samplings of Colorado wines.
