Hob Knob

$$$$ | 128 Main St., Martha's Vineyard, MA, 02539, USA Fodor's Choice

This 19th-century Gothic Revival boutique hotel blends the amenities and service of a luxury property with the ambience and charm of a small B&B with art and antiques that help capture the island's rural, seaside charm.

  • Fitness room with sauna and steam
  • A short walk from the harbor, it's on the main road into town—but far enough out to avoid crowds

Cons

Hoffman Haus

$$$ | 608 E. Creek St., Fredericksburg, TX, 78624, USA Fodor's Choice

Stepping onto this beautiful property dotted with historic cabins and private courtyards with glowing firepits, you won't believe Main Street is just a stone's throw away. The main lodge is a renovated 1850s barn, with an inviting library and formal dining room on the far part of the building. Rooms are decorated with individual styles, from rustic Texas to French countryside. A lovely spa is on-site in a cozy cottage, and gluten-free breakfast options are available.

Holland Hotel

$$ | 209 W. Holland Ave., Alpine, TX, 79830, USA Fodor's Choice

Once a stop on the transcontinental railroad, the rancher-themed Holland Hotel is now a historic landmark still hung with its original sign on the bustling main drag in downtown Alpine—just doors down from shops, cafés, and galleries. It shows its age in places—not necessarily a drawback—but renovations have largely kept pace with the times. Rooms have Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and coffeemakers. Choose from a light-filled penthouse at the top of the hotel, a 1,000-square-foot loft, or basic rooms on the second and third floors. The stately, high-ceilinged lobby is a grand throwback to the past and houses a bar, restaurant, reading nook, and billiard room. Mendias & Co. spa offers a range of massage and skin treatments.

Pros

  • Inviting lobby and courtyard
  • Excellent spa and restaurant
  • Swimming pool available at the co-owned Maverick Inn

Cons

  • Noise from nearby trains (earplugs provided in rooms)
  • Older property with a few quirks
  • Breakfast is on the meager side

Hollander Hotel

$$ | 421 4th Ave. N, St. Petersburg, FL, 33701, USA Fodor's Choice

On the edge of Downtown, a short walk (or free shuttle ride) from all the excitement, this chicly renovated 1933 property doesn't skimp on vintage charm. Many of the rooms have their original hardwood floors and bathtubs (refurbished, of course). Other big draws include its trendy restaurant and taproom, which features live music and a popular Sunday trivia night (arrive early to sign up—hotel guests get five free points), and its courtyard pool deck/bar, which hops on weekends.

Pros

  • Alluring "Old Florida eclectic" style
  • Close to the action
  • Good for nightlife

Cons

  • Small rooms
  • Small bathrooms
  • Some blight nearby

The Homestead Inn

$ | 5 Elm St., New Milford, CT, 06776, USA Fodor's Choice

High on a hill overlooking New Milford's town green, this Victorian masterpiece opened as an inn in 1928. The main house's eight rooms are decorated in a mix of country antiques, artful reproductions, and an abundance of floral accents; the budget-friendly (and kid-friendly) Treadwell House is the motel-style alternative next door. Breakfast is served in a cheery living room, where you can sit by the fire during the cooler months.

  • Close to shops and restaurants
  • Substantial, delicious, homemade breakfasts

With amenities like kitchens and a business center, most guests stay at least four nights, turning this all-suites hotel into a home. The in-room kitchens have everything from measuring cups to dishware, and there's a small on-site market where guests can stock up on supplies.

There are plenty of thoughtful touches at this 1810 Queen Anne–style cottage: fresh flowers in every room, lavish breakfasts, refrigerators stocked with beverages, and beach chairs with umbrellas (perfect for nearby Sandy Neck Beach); there's even an outdoor hot tub and shower. Airy, country-style guest rooms have lots of white wicker, checked curtains, and pastel-painted floors; the spacious second-floor Wisteria Room overlooking the lush yard is a particularly comfortable retreat, and the screened-in porch is a peaceful place to sip early-morning coffee.

Pros

  • Lush gardens on the grounds

Hoodoo Moab, Curio Collection by Hilton

$$$$ | 111 N. 100 W, Moab, UT, 84532, USA Fodor's Choice

Moab's only four-star hotel is right downtown, though also standing next to the area's famed red rocks, giving you the best of both worlds, surrounded by the kind of luxury that's hard to find in rural Utah. The interiors are spotless and chic, inspired by the surrounding natural beauty and the area's mining history, with touches of gold, orange, yellow, and earth tones. You'll find locally informed art and petrified wood tables in each room. There's a good restaurant on-site, as well as the only spa in town. The beautiful pool is one of Moab's best.

Pros

  • In-house restaurant and spa
  • Interiors have lots of locally inspired character
  • Boutique hotel with upscale services

Cons

  • High luxury comes with a high price tag
  • It can take a sec to learn to navigate the winding hallways

Bordering Churn Creek on a bend in a residential street secluding the property from its neighbors, this two-turreted Tudor-style inn occupies 3½ woodsy acres several miles north of downtown and Sundial Bridge. The individually decorated contemporary-style guest rooms, some with furnishings from the aim-to-please owners two-plus decades in Africa, have hardwood floors, king beds, coffeemakers, refrigerators, sitting areas, and slate-tiled bathrooms. A nickel-plated double-slipper tub is the centerpiece of the grand, split-level bathroom in the splurge accommodation, the Royal Shasta, whose two bay windows have creek and mountain views. The owners invite guests to make use of the well-equipped communal kitchen and outdoor barbecue, the latter on a deck overlooking the creek.

$$$ | 125 Sumner Ave., Avalon, CA, 90704, USA Fodor's Choice

Located one block from the beach in the heart of Avalon, Hotel Atwater originally opened in 1920 and was recently redesigned in 2019, offering an impeccable sense of style and Catalina Island memorabilia. The hotel honors Helen Atwater Wrigley (daughter-in-law of famed local William Wrigley). Splits of champagne await in each guest room mini refrigerator, as a nod to her favorite before-bedtime beverage. Explore the soaring lobby to see two of Helen's prized instruments: a Dellape Stradella and a golden harp. There are curio cabinets filled with photos of the Wrigley family and an old bank safe filled with books and board games for guests to borrow during their stay.

$$$ | 5216 Ballard Ave. NW, Seattle, 98107, USA Fodor's Choice

In the heart of historic Ballard, this chic boutique hotel features a modern take on baroque style, with gilded mirrors and sumptuous carpeting and furnishings in every room.

It's all about location at this Upper West Side hotel, situated three blocks from Central Park, 10 blocks from Lincoln Center, next door to the Beacon Theatre, and steps from both the American Museum of Natural History and Zabar's, the iconic gourmet grocery store. All of the generously sized rooms and suites (which have a sofa bed in the living room) have full kitchenettes (stocked with coffeemakers, pots and pans, and toasters) and marble bathrooms.

Hotel Clermont

$$ | 789 Ponce de Leon Ave., Atlanta, GA, 30306, USA Fodor's Choice

There’s no better stay within walking distance of Ponce City Market and the BeltLine, and for cool factor combined with the conveniences of a modern hotel with vintage touches, there may be no better stay in Atlanta. Lush foliage and wicker and rattan seating welcome you in the lobby, as does an ice-cold PBR in honor of legendary stripper Blondie, whom you may be lucky enough to catch at the downstairs lounge. Rooms are furnished with an eye toward art deco, from the velvet headboards and seating to “Jetson”-style desk lights, but less Miami bright and more Southern sophistication. The building itself is historic, but with spacious rooms, foolproof complimentary Wi-Fi, and freshly made kombucha in the café, the experience is far from 1924 when the building was first erected.

Pros

  • Rooftop bar with great views of the city
  • Plenty of nooks to hang out with friends or take a private call
  • Diverse mix of guests and locals

Cons

  • Spotty valet service
  • Late-night bar crowd on weekends

Hotel Condon

$ | 202 S. Main St., Condon, OR, 97823, USA Fodor's Choice

This three-story 1920 redbrick hotel anchors the small town of Condon. The spacious rooms are done with 1920s- and '30s-era antiques alongside contemporary touches like wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, hair dryers, and coffeemakers. The Buckhorn Saloon, open nightly except Sunday and Monday, serves regional wines, craft brews, classic cocktails, and a nice selection of bistro food, from classic bar snacks to burgers made with Painted Hill natural beef. This is a great option for visitors exploring the Clarno (35 miles south) and Painted Hills (60 miles south) sections of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

Pros

Hotel Congress

$ | 311 E. Congress St., Tucson, AZ, 85701, USA Fodor's Choice

This hotel, built in 1919, has been artfully restored to its original Western version of art deco; it's now the center of Tucson's hippest scene and a great place for younger and adventurous travelers to stay. The gangster John Dillinger was almost caught here in 1934—apparently his luggage, filled with guns and ammo, was suspiciously heavy. Each room has a black-and-white tile bath and the original iron bed frames. The convenient location Downtown means it can be noisy, so make sure you don't get a room over the popular Club Congress (a nightclub with dance parties) or Century Room (a jazz lounge with live music nightly), unless you plan to be up until the wee hours.

Pros

  • Prime location
  • Great restaurant and bars
  • Historic, funky, and fun

Cons

  • No elevator to guest rooms
  • No TVs in rooms (only in common areas)
  • Noise from nightclub in some rooms

Unlike other hotels in the city, parking is free.

Hotel del Coronado

$$$ | 1500 Orange Ave., San Diego, CA, 92118, USA Fodor's Choice

As much of a draw today as it was when it opened in 1888, the Victorian-style "Hotel Del" is always alive with activity, as guests—including U.S. presidents and celebrities—and tourists marvel at the fanciful architecture and ocean views. About half the accommodations are in the more charming, original Victorian building, which underwent major restorations that were completed in 2025: rooms in the newly remodeled The Cabanas building overlooking the pool have a contemporary feel and The Views building has remodeled rooms and suites with glass balcony railings for unobstructed ocean views. These rooms are closer to the pool and the beach, making them a good option for families. In the more secluded and exclusive Beach Village area, villas and cottages feature full kitchens, private terraces, and several bedroom configurations, plus access to a private pool. Spa guests also get access to the spa's infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Renowned sushi restaurant Nobu opened at the hotel in 2025. 

Pros

  • 17 on-site shops
  • On the beach
  • Well-rounded spa

Cons

  • Some rooms are small
  • Expensive dining
  • Hectic public areas

Hotel Ella

$$ | 1900 Rio Grande St., Austin, TX, 78705, USA Fodor's Choice

Historical elegance and modern luxury converge in this 47-room boutique hotel, located in the Goodall Wooten mansion on the south edge of the UT campus. This 1900 Texas Historic Landmark still shines in all its Classical Revival glory. While most accommodations are located in the North Wing addition completed in the 1980s, nine rooms in the original mansion exude the most charm, with junior suites offering private verandas and Carrara marble–tiled bathrooms. The entire property is outfitted with amenities like high-speed Wi-Fi, 24-hour fitness room, and twice-daily maid service. There's also a charming lap pool and garden courtyard, and a fine-dining eatery, Goodall’s, and a parlor bar are all on the main floor.

Pros

  • Beautifully restored
  • Perfect for a romantic getaway
  • Charming lap pool

Cons

  • Expect crowds during UT home games and downtown festivals
  • Standard North Wing rooms can be cramped with no views
  • Limited menu at on-site restaurant
