The hotel is central to island services and activities, but remote from the rest of the world.

At the King Eider Inn near the airport, you'll find comfortable rooms with simple furnishings and decor, and it doesn't cost much more to select a unit with a kitchenette.

Spacious units in this atmospheric 1902 house are equipped with a king or queen bed, private bath, and all the serenity a guest could ever want.

Rooms are all differently decorated in this 1907 Craftsman bungalow, the one-time summer home of steel magnate Peter Kirk: the Garden Room has a botanical motif, the sunny Trellis Room is done in soft shades of yellow and green, and the Arbor Room has French doors leading out to the garden. You may take breakfast in the parlor—or have it in bed, served on antique Limoges china. Bountiful wicker-basket picnics, with all the trimmings, can be prepared for a day's excursion—but you might not need one after the full breakfast provided each morning.

This boutique hotel, once an Austrian-style lodge, has been remodeled into a modern and luxurious place to stay, while retaining all its old charm. Each room now has a king-size bed, a view of the mountains, and a shared balcony. Most of the marble bathrooms feature a large tub and separate shower. The heated indoor pool and sauna are in an adjoining building. Next to the lobby is a popular upscale bar and full-service gourmet restaurant, The Grill at Knob Hill—be sure to try the authentic Wiener schnitzel. A complimentary breakfast comes with parfait, locally baked snacks, at least one hot item, and iPads for reading the daily newspapers.

Located across the beach and in the quieter north end of Kihei, this relaxed, family-friendly property has 26 units—some with kitchens and kitchenettes—that range from standard rooms to three-bedroom, two-bath penthouses.

The rooms, done in soft yellows and beige, have European accents—headboards that resemble rustic French gates in one, and antique furnishings in others. For the most privacy, ask for an upstairs room. The inn does not encourage guests under age 14.

With 6 acres of oceanfront property, accommodations that range from studio units to a glamorous three-bedroom waterfront home, and staffers who go the extra mile, this resort has everything a visitor to the Keys could want. Units are clean and bright with kiwi-color accents and a sunny vibe.

The poolside café, Wild & Lime, serves light meals and beer and wine. You can resort-hop to its sister properties and enjoy even more amenities.

This elegant "Pink Lady" drew Hollywood film stars in the 1930s and ’40s with its setting and views of La Jolla Cove; today it draws a clientele with an appreciation for timeless perfection in concierge service, pool-deck libations, and valet attendants who greet you by name.  Rooms are small but handsome; most suites have balconies and imported linens, including the Sky Suite with 180-degree views of the Pacific. The airy villas have generous bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and dual sinks. The personal attention provided by the staff guarantees a pleasurable stay. Its signature restaurant, The Mediterranean Room, offers a California coastal menu, while The Whaling Bar serves craft cocktails in a 1940s swanky setting. Other La Jolla establishments are steps away, but be sure to have a drink while gazing at the ocean from La Sala Lobby Lounge, a lavish space with live music Thursday through Sunday.

Ruling Hawaiian chiefs once returned from ocean voyages to this spot, now host to comfortable condominiums, and OUTRIGGER has created attractive plant, water, and rock features.

Though there's generally no air-conditioning, there's typically a good breeze. The landscaped grounds include lighted tennis courts and a large pool. The beach is swimmable, and the property is near shops, restaurants, and a coastal walking and biking path. There is a three-night minimum stay.

In this four-story, 1849 French-style manor house, each room has different details, from marble fireplaces to four-poster beds.

The former cavalry post turned ghost town is now a privately owned collection of Western-theme tourist attractions with a golf resort, spa, riding stables, convenience store, RV park, and hiking trails, adding up to the nicest place to eat, shop, and overnight within 25 miles of the park. The main lodge is the Badlands Hotel, a two-story affair with a lobby staircase and an opulent Tiffany chandelier. Upstairs hallways have the slightly saucy aura of an old bordello. The rooms, to be sure, are outfitted with everything modern. In addition, there are time-share condos across the "boardwalk," a Pueblo-style motel, the Cavalry Post, down the street, and a nearby RV Park. Badlands guests can use the motel's swimming pool. An upscale but casual restaurant and lounge are a walk through a breezeway.

This sprawling property consisting of several one- and two-story buildings, run by Aramark, sits on a promontory above Lake Powell and serves as the center for recreational activities in the area—guests can relax beside two seasonal swimming pools.

Restaurants include the sophisticated Rainbow Room, a coffeehouse, and a seasonal pizza parlor.

This lakeside resort getaway, nestled right on the shores of Lake Travis (about a 45-minute drive from downtown) is particularly well-suited for families with enough space to accommodate adults-only and kids-play areas.

Rooms are spacious and some have patios overlooking the lake.

The \"station\" in this riverside hotel's name refers to the restaurant, in an 1867 stone building, but the hotel itself, tucked away from the street in the heart of town, is modern with a comfortably traditional vibe. The lobby's soaring wood ceiling and wall of antique portraits set a timeless tone. Guest rooms have classic, mostly neutral furnishings, and some have a blue accent wall. The pricier rooms and suites have sitting areas and gas fireplaces. All but three have some kind of river view because the inn is set at right angles to the Delaware. Complimentary continental breakfast is delivered to rooms.

Named for the state ferry landing directly across the road, this property has large, comfortable rooms decorated with mission-style furniture, and although the hotel is more than a mile from downtown, there's no need for a car; a free shuttle provides transport around town. The Landing Restaurant is usually packed with families, and its colorful breakfast clientele consists of locals and ferry passengers. Upstairs, Jeremiah's Pub offers dining in cozy digs and a relaxing no-smoking lounge built around a stone fireplace. Some suites have private balconies.

Perched at the edge of a semiprivate beach that's less than a half-mile from Heavenly Village, The Landing provides luxe rooms and resort amenities in a prime location—removed from, but close to, the Stateline action.

The sleek on-site restaurant and lounge, Jimmy's, serves upscale California cuisine and is popular with locals.

An expansive front lawn rolls from Chestnut Street to the sheltered entry of this truly grand 1856 Italianate mansion. Common areas are large and sunny.

Many rooms have special showers or tubs; one has an 11-head shower. Full breakfasts are served in a formal dining room.

Opened in 1924, the Lankford is still owned by the family of the original owners. Many combinations of rooms in the hotel and the adjacent lodge are available for small groups of friends and families. Bicycle storage and Ocean City Golf Course privileges are included in the rate. Lazing in a rickety rocking chair on the front porch off the small (un-air-conditioned) lobby, cooled by overhead fans, is a true throwback to quieter times. (All guest rooms are air-conditioned.)

It's a pleasant 10-minute walk west of the Plaza to reach this group of properties consisting of a few historic, luxurious compounds, one of them Spanish Pueblo–style adobe, another done in the Territorial style, and others ranging from rooms in renovated Victorian houses to contemporary condos with up to three bedrooms. A network of brick paths shaded by mature trees leads through these buildings, connecting them with secluded courtyards and flower gardens. All units have fireplaces, microwaves, and refrigerators (and full kitchens in some cases), and individual art and handcrafted furnishings, and rates include an extensive continental breakfast. It's an elegant alternative to the city's upscale full-service hotels, affording guests a bit more privacy and the feel of a private cottage rental—though it is managed by the Hotel Santa Fe.
