1204 Best Hotels in USA

With a heart-of-the-party Bourbon Street location, the most coveted of the well-kept rooms here (especially during Mardi Gras) are the ones with balconies overlooking the street. Rooms are classic business style with some traditional flavor; those facing the courtyard and pool are quieter and a better choice for guests not prepared for 24-hour activity.

The Four Seasons signature style is on full display at this sleek glass tower overlooking Downtown and the Cumberland River, from luxurious linens and amenities in the spacious rooms to the infinity pool area that's like an urban oasis tucked away from the biggest crowds of Broadway. The lobby restaurant features rustic Italian cuisine, and the main bar is a great spot to meet fellow tourists along with residents of the luxe condominiums that occupy the uppermost floors of the building.

The painted-brick main house, which overlooks a private courtyard with a fountain and, across the street, the harbor, features rooms with working gas fireplaces; a dozen rooms also have whirlpool tubs. Some rooms are in another Colonial home, while others are in a courtyard addition. Afternoon tea is served daily in the dining room from 3 pm to 6 pm.

This 1927 building got a fresh new life as a combination upmarket hostel/traditional hotel that attracts the young and free spirited with a hot nightlife scene and city-apartment-style rooms. The vibe is boho chic; the bar is the end-all-be-all in tiki creativity. 

A stylish choice for those who want to be near the action (and don't mind hearing it all night), The Frenchmen has comfortable, but spare, rooms, with a rooftop terrace, a pool, and a hot tub. Some rooms have balconies over Frenchmen Street, which can be noisy; alternatively, back rooms away from the street can be requested ahead of time and are somewhat quieter.

This 1885 stagecoach stop has morphed into a European-style boutique hotel complete with a chalet facade and a garden courtyard. The rooms are cozy, dressed with Victorian wallpaper and trimmed in dark woods. Antique lamps cast a warm glow on the wrought-iron beds draped with beautiful quilts.

There's no other place in Sonoma or Napa quite like the Gaige House, which blends the best elements of a traditional country inn, a boutique hotel, and a secluded hideaway. Black and white predominate in the individually decorated guest rooms, with muted grays and lightish-brown hues softening the effect. The main house, an 1890 Queen Anne, contains more than half the rooms, whose features vary. Two newer structures hold Zen Suites, all of which have private gardens and deep granite soaking tubs. Some Zen suites face Calabazas Creek (these are the most desirable); others have interior courtyard views. Magnolia, oak, and other trees shade the backyard and its swimming pool and hot tub area.

A large stone fireplace serves as the focal point of the living room, and gas or electric stoves or fireplaces lend a cozy feel to each guest room, as do quilts and artwork, both by the owners. Baked apple-pecan French toast with homemade syrup is a popular breakfast choice.

One of East Nashville's newer hotel offerings, The Gallatin is housed in a repurposed church just steps from many popular bars and restaurants. There's no staff on-site, so keep that in mind if you prefer lodging with daily cleaning or other assistance. Each room is outfitted with bold funky furniture, making for photo-ready backdrops. To boot, the hotel donates a portion of proceeds to organizations helping people experiencing homelessness. 

This extended-stay, all-suites hotel on a quieter, residential-feeling street has spacious, well-maintained rooms and amenities, which makes it an excellent option for families or visitors who like to retreat to a patio or terrace and order in after a day of exploring nearby Central Park, The Met, or Bloomingdale's. Choose from spacious junior, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites to get a feel for apartment living in NYC, or the terrace or patio suites for coveted private outdoor space that will make locals jealous; even one of their four penthouse suites gives off an exclusive vibe. There's no restaurant on-site but plenty of restaurants and a grocery store nearby, and takeout from several nearby restaurants can be charged to your room. Rooms include sleeper sofas, powered recliners, modern kitchens with stovetops, and stocked with dishware from beloved local brand Fishs Eddy. There's a fitness room, laundry facilities, and the hotel is pet-friendly with a serene seating area across from the reservation desk. 

Overlooking mountains and a pristine lake 5 mi from Gore Mountain Ski Center, this Adirondack inn was built in the tradition of the great camps. Accommodations are housed in four buildings, including the Log House, which has hewn beams and posts, a wide front porch, and mountain and lake views. Rooms combine paneled walls with contemporary, rustic-style furnishings; some rooms have balconies. The 600-acre complex includes a cross-country-skiing and mountain-biking center. The lodge also has canoes, rowboats, sailboats, and paddleboats and hosts ski programs for kids. The Saturday buffet dinner is a highlight at the restaurant.

Opened in 2024, this boutique luxury hotel occupies a historic 1800s row home that features five guest rooms with a unique yet comfortable ambience and stunning decor; a few have kitchenettes. Everything is digital, and there's a \"virtual concierge\" so it feels like a private residence (there's no official front desk). Surprise features include an open-air courtyard, an art gallery on the first floor (with rotating exhibits throughout the year), and a cozy speakeasy lounge in the basement that serves house-made cocktails. 

Once the 1912 summer cottage of Harley Procter (as in, Procter & Gamble), this beautifully updated country inn has guest rooms and suites in various configurations and styles; most have working fireplaces, detailed moldings, and plush carpeting. The restaurant, which offers late-night dining in summer, was a favorite hangout of painter Norman Rockwell in the days before the gorgeous piano bar and its comfortable seating were installed.

Even inside this massive hotel you feel like you're outside (minus the Texas weather). Glass rooftops allow natural light to fill the climate-controlled space, filled with indoor gardens (4.5 acres worth), bodies of water, and region-specific architecture. The atmosphere is festive, especially on weekends, when guests and gawkers stroll through the common areas, shop, dine, and enjoy various live entertainment options. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is about 5 mi south of the complex.

Tall palms tower over this restored three-story boutique inn, an elaborate 1891 Queen Anne–style structure once dubbed "the handsomest house in town.” The inn is decorated in a palette of soft whites, grays, and occasional browns, and the guest rooms contain custom-made beds with plush headboards outfitted with top-of-the-line mattresses and bedding. Each room enchants in its way. A second-floor corner room, for instance, has a rounded-bay-window sitting area, a marble-clad shower for two, and a generous spaciousness that makes it ideal for extended stays. A smaller third-floor accommodation in the middle of the house, its ceilings at artistically odd angles, is a cozy delight for one or two nights.

Just east of the park, across from the Amtrak station, this beautiful full-service hotel built in 1913 is supported by 500- to 800-year-old Douglas firs and 3-foot-thick cedar logs; little wonder that its nickname is "Big Tree Lodge." Entertainers delight guests with storytelling and singing in the spectacular great hall, where a crackling fire blazes in a massive stone fireplace. Rooms are sparsely decorated, but historic framed posters hang on the hallway walls. The hotel has an excellent restaurant, a bar, a convenience store, and a gift shop. There is also a house for rent on the grounds. It's next to the golf course, the oldest grass-greens course in Montana. If you golf on it, watch out for moose. 

Conveniently located in Downtown Norfolk, this boutique hotel run by Marriott occupies a reimagined historic building dating from 1912 and showcases exceptional works of glass art (Norfolk once was famous for its glass production).

At this rustic-modern complex of adobe-and-redwood buildings, you can choose between motel-style rooms, cabins, and cottages in the woods. Rooms have a contemporary, earth-tone look and a "green" sensibility, with organic linens and wool carpets, and walk-in showers with natural river-rock radiant-heated tiles. All have gas fireplaces, and some have private outdoor patios.

This boutique hotel is a mix of New York sophistication and Miami sex appeal. The rooms are small, but they make the best of the space. Glass walls between the oversize showers and the sleeping areas mean you won't miss a minute of the program on your flat-screen TV. The contemporary decor is sleek and sophisticated.

This charming resort offers seven rooms and one cabin along with a shared kitchen and beautiful outdoor areas. It's ideal for folks who can stay awhile and enjoy some peace and quiet while still being a five-minute walk to downtown Glennallen.

Tech-minded travelers who like to mix business with pleasure will feel right at home at this hotel, which has what worker bees need (generously sized in-room desks with multiple outlets) and what party animals want (a sizzling rooftop bar, I|O Godfrey). Rooms have glittering city views and start at 350 square feet. An on-site spa with two treatment rooms offers 30-minute massages that are perfect for the corporate crowd.

Built in 1911 for the first president of the University of Montana and fully remodeled in 2021, this prairie-style brick home offers six apartment-style units, each with a kitchen or kitchenette (and all but one with laundry facilities). The building sits on the bank of the Clark Fork River, at the end of a footbridge that leads to campus. With big white eaves and an ample porch overlooking the river—where blue heron, osprey, and bald eagles congregate—this historic building offers the opportunity to put down shallow roots if you need a place for a longer stay. The Clark Fork suite has a king-size bed, private entry, and riverside porch. The two-room Bitterroot Apartment offers two rooms (one queen, one twin), two full baths and two patios. Most suites have full kitchens and laundry, and all have river views.

This eclectic inn stands out for its fun design, brightly colored walls, desert-inspired art, and varnished adobe construction. The furnishings and decoration are all decidedly contemporary, combining wood, stone, metal, and tile, and some rooms have fireplaces. The pool, hot tub, and courtyard overlook a shady pathway that winds for several miles along Mill Creek. Though you wouldn't know it, all the rooms are time-shares (units available for purchase).

The newest addition to Eugene's expanding 5th Street Public Market, The Gordon offers a boutique-meets-business experience, with lots of local touches. The contemporary rooms are large and bright and all feature work desks with good lighting and plenty of nods to the hotel's surroundings, from wall art inspired by the surrounding neighborhood to coffee and tea sourced from Oregon producers. Some rooms are pet-friendly and a few categories also have balconies. While there's no room service, you can grab a bite from the lobby Tavern or head up to Carlita's on the rooftop for cocktails and city views. 

During the week, this newly renovated hotel—housed in a former livery stable and featuring contemporary-meets-the-past decor—buzzes with politicians, press, lobbyists, and other business travelers; on weekends, it's booked with visitors who want to explore downtown and/or have a romantic getaway. The complete remodel added a new second-floor patio lounge (a place to see and be seen) overlooking Adams Street.

A bright and whimsical world awaits you inside this Midtown hotel—have your camera ready because you're going to want to take a picture everywhere you look. The property is bursting at the seams with one-of-a-kind personality and spunk: there’s a grand piece of art in Minnie Pearl’s likeness that greets guests behind the front desk, and there’s no shortage of odes to Nashville’s musical nature or neighboring Vanderbilt University. On-site dining at White Limozeen draws its fair share of locals and visitors for its notable pink rooftop and Dolly Parton–inspired flare. Cross-Eyed Critters Watering Hole also delivers a good time with its kitschy ambiance and karaoke with on-stage animatronics.

Named after Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor who once lived in Georgetown, this upscale boutique hotel is on a residential street just steps from M Street's shops and eateries. Rooms and suites are luxuriously appointed, with plush Irish bedding, comfortable furnishings, and oversize marble bathrooms stocked with L'Occitane products. The Graham Rooftop bar is a lively spot for visitors and locals to take in the views of iconic D.C. spots like the Kennedy Center, Washington Monument, and Rosslyn skyline. Cocktail lovers will enjoy their cozy bar, The Alex Craft Cocktail Cellar & Speakeasy, with its dark walls, unique cocktails, and chill lounge music. 

Just 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore is this intimate B&B in the 1902 home of Alexander J. Cassatt, owner of the Pennsylvania Railroad and brother of the American Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. Staying in one of the 11 rooms here is like being a guest at Cassatt's country estate. Rooms are done in a range of styles, from Edwardian to Victorian, French, and 19th-century American. Wake up to a full breakfast of French toast, blueberry pancakes, and the house omelet (mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and fresh herbs from the garden). Be sure to book in advance: it's a popular spot for weddings.

The airy, three-story atrium lobby with a large stone fireplace lends a European chalet sensibility to this hotel with brightly lit rooms and Alaska-themed artwork. Many of the rooms have wonderful views overlooking the water and come with either two queen beds or one king-sized bed, full bathrooms, and coffee makers. There are several eateries, including Margaret Bay Café, the Cape Cheerful Lounge, and evening-only dining at Harbor Sushi.

Designed to resemble the train depot's original Fray Marcos Hotel, this upscale place features attractive Southwestern-style accommodations with large bathrooms and comfy beds with upscale linens. Neoclassical Greek columns flank the grand entrance, which leads to a lobby with maple-wood balustrades, an enormous flagstone fireplace, and oil paintings of the Grand Canyon by local artist Kenneth McKenna. Original bronzes by Frederic Remington also adorn the lobby. Adjacent to the lobby is Spenser's, a pub with an ornate 19th-century hand-carved bar; next door is the Fred Harvey Restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
