Mina's Wit & Wisdom Tavern is the fine-dining option, and there's a smaller café for breakfast and lunch. The fitness center's off to one side; the full spa at the back of the landscaped property contains a large outdoor relaxation area.

One of the first hotels to open in Vail, in 1962, the sprawling lodge is popular with skiers and families because of its fabulous location only 150 feet from the village's main lift, the Gondola One.

A three-story spa has 15 treatment rooms and a state-of-the-art fitness center. In the grand lobby you'll find a dozen black-suited staffers behind the counter and a half dozen other bellboys and valets.

A unique boutique hotel that stands out from Old City’s numerous big-brand options, Lokal is owned by a husband-and-wife team that preaches the merits of “invisible service”—no front desks or on-site staff, with check-ins, deliveries, and the like handled by the guest via tech innovations and mobile apps. (Living, breathing employees are nearby and on call if needed.) Choose from a lineup of six on-site flats, some suited for singles and couples, others meant for families. Each is furnished in a hyper-clean Scandinavian style, with living rooms and fully equipped kitchens to prepare meals. Note that the converted building is a four-story walk-up with many stairs and no elevators.

If you want to be close to the bridge, this hotel is a dependable choice with plenty to see and do on site.

Steps from Madison Avenue shopping and a block from Central Park, this old-money refuge on a leafy residential block started in 1927 and it still delivers genteel sophistication and pampering service in an unbeatable location. In fact, the 74-room hotel is one of a few remaining family-owned properties in the city, and is a member of Leading Hotels of the World.

A restored boarding house from McCarthy's early-1900s mining heyday is now a characterful B&B decorated with antiques and artifacts. The rooms are cheerful with traditional quilts and lace curtain, and they're extremely small, with just enough room for a wrought-iron bed (it's best if you have small bags with you). The hotel is right on "main street" in McCarthy, across from the Golden Saloon and The Bear & Salmon Restaurant.

This spot blends the drama of a grand European hotel with the warmth of a mountain chalet.

The on-site Timber Room restaurant serves whiskey-forward cocktails and small plates near a toasty fireplace.

When it opened in 1922, the 29-story Magnolia building was the tallest structure south of Washington, D.C. Today it is best known as the home of the red-neon Pegasus sign, installed atop the structure in 1934. (The current sign is a replica.) The building opened as a hotel in 1999, with tailored, oversized rooms that have an urban loft feel; the 129 suites have full kitchens.

Formerly the Houston Post-Dispatch newspaper building and the original corporate headquarters for Shell Oil Company, the chic Magnolia takes a historic property in a modern, well-designed direction. Guests enjoy a complimentary nightly cocktail reception, as well as a milk-and-cookies buffet right before bedtime. The rooftop pool offers great downtown views. Bedding and linens are amazing, some of the best we've experienced.

This French Creole cottage built in approximately 1840 is on the National Register of Historic Places and features finely crafted furniture, beautiful gardens, and a monthly Secret Suppers Series that brings together James Beard Award-recognized artists, Grammy-nominated musicians, and an unforgettable setting to enjoy a world-class meal. Only one party of guests are able to stay on the property at one time, so book your suite as far in advance as possible.

For travelers who've done all there is to do on Maui and just want simple but luxurious relaxation at a condo that spills onto a private beach, this is the spot. The secluded complex, which hugs the South Shore coastline, is designed to belie its size—from the road it's hard to tell that the two- to three-bedroom units are taller than a palm tree, all with ocean views. Privacy envelops the grounds, which include remnants of an ancient Hawaiian fishing heiau (a temple comprising a rock formation).

You simply cannot get any closer to gorgeous Keawakapu Beach than this unsung hero of South Shore hotels, offering both renovated hotel rooms and condos that may be older than those of its competitors but are well priced and have marvelous ocean views, especially during the winter humpback whale season. One- and two-bedroom condos have private lanai and kitchens, and on-site amenities include a heated oceanfront pool, an activity desk, and a yoga studio.
