5218 Best Hotels in USA

Originally built during the gold rush, this restored hotel is filled with antiques and period furniture. Each of the seven rooms is named after a Trinity County gold mine; all have luxurious linens and towels, and most have claw-footed tubs and fireplaces. Only one room has a television, but guests usually prefer to spend their time exploring the area's mountains, lakes, and hiking trails. Breakfast isn't served, but for each day of their stay guests receive vouchers worth $10 at nearby restaurants.

The family-owned and -run complex across the street from Chautauqua Lake includes a two-story motel, Webb's Captain's Table restaurant, a candy store dating from 1947, and an 18-hole miniature-golf course. Rooms have traditional-contemporary furnishings; a couple have fireplaces. Furnishings are outdated and bathrooms smaller in the older portion of the hotel. All rooms facing the road have whirlpool tubs and balconies.

A few blocks south of Central Park and Columbus Circle, the Wellington is a good base for visitors who want to see the sights in Midtown and the Upper West Side. The vibe in the rooms is more classic than edgy or modern, with floral patterns and dark-wood headboards and chests. Bathrooms are dark and on the small side. Suites, however, are spacious and have a microwave, a refrigerator, and extra beds—a great fit for large families. Molyvos, a busy Greek restaurant in the hotel, serves excellent Mediterranean food, while the Park Cafe serves three meals a day along with theater snacks. The hotel runs clever seasonal packages that draw return guests every year.

Walkable to the Village Green and with its own on-site brewery, this polished option features single rooms, suites, and luxurious cabins, making it suitable for any travel party.

The property also includes Whiteside Brewing, which offers a full lunch and dinner menu, and a breakfast food truck. 

With smartly updated guest rooms and common areas, this baronial 1869 Victorian also offers a nice slate of amenities, including a full spa, a first-rate restaurant, and access to a terrific golf course and cross-country ski trails.

The hotel also rents out modern two- and three-bedroom condos that have full kitchens and are ideal for families.

The grandest inn in town features Second Empire antiques and reproductions, elaborate woodwork, and original stained-glass windows, as well as sweeping views from the rooftop cupola. In the colder months, the staff draws the velvet drapes and lights the gas fireplaces of the baronial, high-ceilinged guest rooms. Italian linens and down pillows add to the opulence. The complimentary evening wine and delectable hors d'oeuvres are served in the sunny, glass-enclosed parlor. The hot breakfast is made in the inn's laudable restaurant, Circa 1886, which shares the former carriage house with a spa, where treatments include couples massages.

This restored Victorian mansion has 12 self-catering suites that are comfortable, colorful, spacious, and unique; nine have a queen or king bed and sleep two, while the other three have two bedrooms plus a kitchen and accommodate up to five. There's a cool basement lounge called the Lucca Lounge that has a speakeasy feel and is great for enjoying a glass of wine. The shared kitchenette is convenient. The outdoor shared area—called the Lucca LuxeScape—is a showstopper, with gardens, pergolas, colorful decor, string lights, comfortable outdoor daybeds, and other patio furniture, two hot tubs, and an 8-foot "cowboy pool." 

Set among the glorious homes of the Western Promenade, this 1871 Georgian displays much of the era's grandeur, with high pressed-tin ceilings, intricate moldings, and ceiling medallions. Modern touches include Wi-Fi flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and private bathrooms. A 2019 renovation added mid-century-modern furniture and cozy sitting areas painted in warm, soothing tones of gray, blues, and greens. The inn also has a cozy patio, which is a great place for coffee in a neighborhood not known for green space, and the foyer’s centerpiece is an automated wine machine.

There are also other amenities like an espresso bar, an ice cream shop, a café, laundry facilities, showers and toilets, and a camp store.

The resort is an official pickup location for red bus tours of the park.

Amenities abound, including a lavish spa, a massive gym with Peloton bikes, multiple dining options, a nightclub, and a sublime rooftop pool. Guests can expect Le Labo products in the bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows in the rooms with massive city views, and a pet-friendly policy in case you want to bring your four-legged friends. Locals and guests like to dine at Ardor for Sunday brunch and dinner.

Coastal luxury meets Cape Cod practicality at this warm and friendly inn near the beach. Large, well-appointed guest rooms are furnished with king-size pillow-top mattresses, HDTVs, refrigerators, coffeemakers, and microwaves; the amenity fee ($22) includes underground parking, Wi-Fi, fitness center, a breakfast buffet, beach and pool amenities, and milk and cookies in the lobby.

This 1810 farmhouse sits on 150 mountainside acres with hiking trails and easy access to the Battenkill River, where you can canoe or go tubing; in winter, guests can sled down a former ski slope or borrow snowshoes or cross-country skis. The house is a patchwork of additions and gables, so rooms have eccentric configurations, but all are comfortable, with nice views and sitting areas.

A former U.S. Coast Guard station on a hill overlooking Lubec Channel, this lodging offers a unique mix of accommodations of varying size in 15 buildings, including a three-bedroom lighthouse and the Keepers Cottage (sleeps four). Some units are apartments that sleep four or six, and there are cabins that sleep four and a few large buildings that sleep eight or nine. Anchoring the property, with white clapboards and a red semi-hipped roof, is the Station House where Coast Guard officers and crew lived until the facility’s 1970 decommissioning. A matching small 1925 structure that housed lifesaving equipment is a cabin rental (sleeps four) whose interior resembles a Maine sporting camp, with wood floors, walls, and ceilings.

This pet-friendly, mom-and-pop motor inn is right off I–90 and within walking distance of the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site.

A modern high-rise near Horton Plaza hides San Diego's most opulent old-world-style hotel—the lobby is outfitted with bronze sculptures and Baccarat chandeliers—where staff greet guests with old-fashioned charm and politeness; other Downtown hotels have flashier amenities but you won't find one with greater class. Rooms are individually furnished with Italian marble counters and rich wool carpeting. From the ninth floor up, the views of the harbor and city are breathtaking, especially from the rooftop swimming pool, which is encircled by a running track. Afternoon tea, with or without champagne, is served in the lobby to the accompaniment of harp music.

Convention attendees have loved this hotel's proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center for decades, but converting some of its hotel rooms to time-shares has also helped the hotel stay in the game as the Strip has exploded with bigger and bolder properties. It's an amazing testimony to resilience, and has been renovated extensively since the mid-2010s. Some lean years for the showroom made famous by Elvis robbed the overall property of that certain sizzle; but entertainment has been on the upswing as well, thanks it being the one guaranteed place to still see Barry Manilow, as well as one-night concert stops by casino favorites such as Air Supply and Cheap Trick. Magician Jen Kramer and tributes to Motown and Elvis have lately shared a unique little cabaret venue. The property's real standout attraction now is its Superbook, which pioneered the mission-control-style sports book and continues to set the line for betting action (the giant screens got upgraded during the pandemic). Because the hotel is east of the Strip, west-facing accommodations have great views. A variety of suite options include one- and two-bedroom accommodations with amenities ranging from spa tubs to dining tables and wet bars. Live cooking action at the world's largest and arguably most famous Benihana restaurant has been a consistent novelty amid changes inside and outside this piece of Las Vegas history. But a surprising number of restaurants are still on property, including a rare surviving buffet.

The Art Deco–style hotel is designed to feel like a glamorous private residence: included in the built-in nightly "resident fee" are morning breakfast, afternoon tea, and hour-long evening canapés with alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages (all served on the 23rd-floor terrace), as well as in-room snacks and Wi-Fi. Comfortable rooms are done in soothing dove-gray tones, with tufted-leather headboards, tasteful art, and luxurious bathrooms with walk-in showers. Extras like sleep masks, aromatherapy oil, and turndown chocolates created specifically for relaxation all encourage a good night's sleep for hotel "residents."

The 500 guest rooms feature Westin's signature "heavenly bed" along with a flat-screen TV. Computer stations in the hotel lobby make it convenient to print a boarding pass, and a complimentary shuttle offers a quick ride to or from Hartsfield-Jackson.

This Westin location in the Domain shopping district offers the dependability of an established brand with a slightly more sophisticated sheen. The lobby and main floor lounges are light-filled and modern and usually bustling with business travelers and happy-hour crowds of Domain shoppers, who frequent the gourmet on-site restaurant, Urban, which is extremely satisfying, albeit pricey. Rooms and suites are spacious, with comfy beds complete with pillowtop mattresses and down pillows.

The Westin is connected to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center and provides comfortable accommodations, if a little dated, and great service. While the property does seem to be dominated by convention goers, it's also a refreshing oasis for leisure travelers and families from the moment they arrive in the sunlight-filled atrium lobby. Most guest rooms have water or skyline views. Two nice restaurants are on-site. 

What draws guests here is the hotel’s location and business-traveler focus; from the chic glass-and-white-tile exterior and sweeping two-level lobby to the rooms, the hotel offers a contemporary but comfortable atmosphere. Expect modernized baths with extra counter space, updated closets and safes, and an overall refreshed look due to a recent renovation.

Cape Coral's only luxury resort, this modern 19-story tower sits alongside a marina fringed with mangroves and caters to families and water-sports enthusiasts. Full-service, with a variety of high-end accommodations, it also has restaurant and other dining options, specialty shopping outlets, galleries, three resort pools, and a spa. All rooms except the most basic have kitchens and a washer/dryer. A free shuttle boat ferries guests the 45-minute distance to the beaches of Fort Myers Beach. Bike and kayak rentals are on-site. Pets are allowed in some of the units. From the marina, you can book charters and nature and sightseeing tours.

For an upscale taste of Uptown, it's hard to get much better than this massive business hotel that's next to the convention center. The 700 rooms feature ultra-comfy beds and roomy showers in marble bathrooms, as well as stunning views of the city. There's a fantastic gym and a stop for the LYNX light-rail inside the hotel.

Author James Thurber once lived in this Downtown Victorian building, built in 1897. The elaborate public spaces—with high ceilings, marble floors, and stone columns—house art exhibits, including some prints by Thurber. Rooms have marble baths, high ceilings, and dark-wood furnishings. Some are small, however, and their layouts aren't necessarily conducive to modern amenities (e.g., king-size beds), so be sure to ask about size when making a reservation.

The dramatically designed lobby leads to a 26-story tower housing rooms with a contemporary décor. The hotel is in Downtown and within walking distance of the stadiums and the Strip District. A walkway leads to the redesigned convention center.

If the idea of sleeping in an upscale mall appeals to you, the Westin is a great bet; it boasts its own pod of retail shops and restaurants and is also connected by a covered skywalk to Copley Place (more high-end shopping) and the Hynes Convention Center. The top-floor rooms of this contemporary 36-story hotel have some of the best views in Boston—of the Charles River, Copley Square, Back Bay, the South End, Boston Harbor, and Boston skylines (especially gorgeous when a-twinkle at night). When a run outside isn't in the books, the nicely appointed fitness studio complete with TRX training and Peloton take over. Guest rooms are spacious and feature wildly comfortable beds and plush linens. There's a $30 destination fee, but it gives you access to a ton of fun city experiences including tours, bikes, and View Boston.
