It's one of the better resort properties along this stretch of the Coconut Coast. The fully furnished one- and two-bedroom condo units, each with a private lanai, washer-dryer, and well-equipped kitchen, are housed in three buildings. They are decorated in rich woods, tropical prints, and Hawaiian-quilt designs. The 8-acre property looks out on the ocean and offers a heated pool with natural rock waterscapes, a day spa, a children's pool, an ocean-side hot tub, pool bar, and fitness center. It's within walking distance of shops and home to the excellent Hukilau Lanai restaurant.

Known for its remarkably friendly and attentive staff, this 1890s-era house, handsomely appointed in Victorian splendor, was originally the family manse of William Kehoe, a prominent Savannah businessman whose Kehoe Iron Works are now an event venue near the Eastern Wharf. On the main floor, a double parlor has two fireplaces and sweeps the eye upward with its 14-foot ceilings, creating an elegant setting for a made-to-order Southern breakfast; later in the day you'll be treated to afternoon tea and desserts and an evening wine and hors d'oeuvres reception. Don't miss the courtyard garden and the music room with a baby grand piano. Guest rooms in this charmer have a decidedly Victorian feel, with a mix of antiques and gilt mirrors, and the location on Columbia Square puts it on the quieter side of town, though tour trolleys will pass regularly.

The comfortable, woodsy rooms vary slightly decor-wise, with some featuring deep soaking tubs or counter-style desks, but all offer floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Rocky Mountains, the skyline, or the train station. The shops and restaurants of Union Station and LoDo are within a block or two, but the on-site restaurant, Citizen Rail, is a lively spot decked out in exposed brickwork, gleaming metal, and dark woods that has become famous for its dry-aged steaks and creative wood-fired cuisine such as coal-simmered mussels and ember-roasted squash; sit at the chef's counter for a magnificent bit of culinary theater and be prepared for the same exceptional service offered in the hotel.
