In a restored historic building, this intimate boutique hotel has spacious, stylish rooms with comfortable beds, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and refrigerators. Bathrooms are spacious, too, some with two-headed showers. The second-floor lobby is a welcoming place to read a book or admire the glass atrium and art deco steel canopy. For dining or a nightcap, you need only to walk downstairs to visit  the Gilded Unicorn for two daily happy hours, or catch the free hotel shuttle to recommended restaurants that offer discounts to guests. Complimentary use of bikes offers another way to get around and explore local eateries and downtown sights.

Inside the Morgan State House, a late-19th-century town house on Washington Park, rich cherry wainscoting complements high ceilings, hand-glazed walls, and fireplaces. Although the house is in the center of town, the views are of either the park or the inn's well-tended flower beds. Each room is different—yours might have a fireplace, a claw-foot tub, exposed brick walls, a skylight, or a reading area—but the overall look is refined. Studios are available three doors away at the Washington Park State House, a sibling property with an elevator. Breakfast is served in the town house.

A fascinating history makes these beautiful, 1864, Victorian town houses interesting, as well as comfortable and well-located, choices. Antiques-filled public areas have marble fireplaces, bay windows, and medallioned ceilings, and rooms have Neoclassical, French country, or Victorian furniture alongside modern amenities. The former Morrison home, on the National Register of Historic Places, became noted in 1923 when the Women's Army and Navy League bought and converted it into inexpensive lodgings for visiting enlisted men. First Lady Grace Coolidge attended the opening, and other First Ladies and dignitaries have visited over the years. American cuisine with regional accents is served in the relaxed restaurant, with its outstanding wine list and patio.

Patrons of this urbane, two-story boutique hotel bask in au courant comfort in guest rooms with kitchenettes and either queen or California king beds. The pastel palette varies by room, but all the accommodations—six on the upper floor, plus a ground-floor ADA suite with a patio—have luxurious linens, hardwood floors, retro bathroom fixtures, and contemporary wall art. Anglers appreciate the storefront Ted Fay Fly Shop.

Impeccably renovated to reflect its heyday as a circa-1960 motor hotel, this boutique property delivers comfort and great value as well as a fun blast from the past. Friendly owner-hosts greet you with complimentary drinks, and most of the whimsically decorated retro rooms have gas fireplaces and private patios. As an added bonus, you can pedal around downtown Prescott (three blocks away) on loaner bicycles—they even have a tandem.

This seriously cool hotel focuses on sparse rooms with a small footprint—rooms range from 150 to 300 square feet, allowing for two people in the smaller rooms and three to four people in the larger—in a great location; rooms have more space than one would expect. There's absolutely nothing extra in the rooms, but all of the necessities for a comfortable trip are there, including soft beds, modern bathrooms, and clean rooms. Also adding to its coolness factor are the 11th-floor rooftop bar El Techo and the Mexico City–inspired Condesa and El Cafe on the hotel's ground floor, both of which were opened by the team behind Fishtown's Pizzeria Beddia and Suraya. 

This homey woodland hideaway, 6 miles southwest of Mount Rainier National Park's Nisqually entrance, includes a lovingly restored Craftsman-style home with gorgeous Douglas fir floors, interesting antiques, and three guest rooms, as well as a separate modern chalet with three suites that have private entrances and kitchenettes. Surrounded by towering old-growth trees, the property feels every bit as pristine as the park. Visitors in rooms in the main inn can use the common kitchen and watch TV in a comfy living room.

An oasis in the middle of Coconut Grove, this hotel operated by the Cipriani family delivers stunning views of Biscayne Bay and the nearby skyline. All 98 guestrooms and suites are decorated in a calming blue palette and have oversize bathrooms with high-gloss paneling and leathers meant to imitate a fancy yacht. Bellini, the on-site restaurant, offers both indoor and outdoor dining with a coastal Italian feel and white tablecloth service.

Even cowboys love soft pillows, which is one reason so many of them favor this 1904 town centerpiece, whose floors have seen silver-tipped cowboy boots, fly-fishing waders, and the polished heels of Hollywood celebrities. Antiques reflect a different theme in each guest room. Ask to see the third-floor suite that film director Sam Peckinpah once called home. Historic photos, a player piano, and stuffed game animals decorate the lobby and surround the antique elevator, which is still in use.

Entering this chic high-rise resort, with its airy wicker furniture, giant palms, and mahogany details, will take you away from the hubbub of Myrtle Beach and straight to a tropical locale. Elegantly appointed rooms have comfortable furniture and patios, perfect for watching the waves break on the beach (or the sunset, if you book on the back side). The top-notch spa offers a full range of treatments and the health club has well-maintained, state-of-the-art machines.

The original impressive 19th-century shell remains, though its interior is sleek, gleaming, and crisp, with a blend of calming neutrals and navy. Choose a standard room or from one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, all with thoughtful personal touches and decorative nods to history: sperm whale-decorated pillows on the beds, historic photographs and murals of Nantucket, children's books placed in each room. Service here is exceptional, friendly, and plentiful, as are the amenities.

This elegantly restored house in a residential neighborhood is long on charm, due in no small part to the comfortable and character-filled suites, which are individually decorated—the Louis XIV suite has 19th-century armoires and a down-filled sofa, while the Global Fusion suite has a four-poster bed and a loveseat. The bright and airy kitchen is a pleasant place to gather, and a group of area restaurants will deliver food, which the friendly innkeeper is happy to serve on china plates, if she's not making your breakfast herself.

Spread across 10 beautiful acres along one of Maui's best beaches, the family-friendly Napili Kai with its "old Hawaii" feel draws a loyal following to its island-style rooms that open onto private lanai. Studios and suites have kitchenettes, but for the most bang for your buck, splurge on the condo units at the western edge of the property, which have fully equipped stainless-steel kitchens and a wide lanai with views of Lanai and Molokai. Be sure to dine at the Sea House Restaurant with indoor-outdoor seating and a spectacular ocean view.

Beach access, a golf club, and top-shelf luxury are all yours at this ultramodern high-rise, which attracts meeting crowds but is still popular with families thanks to amenities like an immense free-form pool with a 100-foot waterslide. Accommodations, which have a coastal-style decor, are the largest in Naples, and every room has a direct Gulf view and a private balcony with plush seating. It's a short walk or tram ride to the 3 miles of powdery white sand on Clam Pass Beach, and the Naples Grande Golf Club, with an 18-hole Rees Jones–designed course, is on a sister property just a few miles away. If the links aren't your thing, the spa just might be: it's an indoor–outdoor "village" with four pavilions, gardens, and tranquillity galore. The hotel also has a renowned tennis program. Catch of the Pelican and Rhode's End are among the on-site dining options.  

Once more proudly anchoring the southern portion of Nevada City's historic district, this three-story boutique property, whose structure dates from 1856, underwent a multiyear makeover, and the attention to Victorian-era detail impresses throughout. It starts with the wrought-iron balconies out front and continues in the lobby with its dark trim, porcelain-hex-tile floor, and floral wallpaper. Accommodations—which range in size from smallish rooms with full or queen beds to suites and studios with kings—all have furniture, photographs and prints, and accents like ornate retro phones that recall the hotel's early decades, as does the decor of the restaurant, Lola, named for the 19th-century entertainer Lola Montez. As in the 1800s, the bar is a swank place for a drink.

The landmarked clock tower in the 1909 Metropolitan Life building that overlooks Madison Square Park also houses an ultrasleek hotel—masterminded by renowned hotelier Ian Schrager—with neutral-tone rooms, a luxurious lobby bar, and a highly regarded restaurant, The Clocktower, helmed by British chef Jason Atheron.

A riverside location, tasteful decor, and lots of common areas (inside and out) make this an especially relaxing country inn. Rooms have classically styled newer furnishings and sumptuous fabrics. One room has a fireplace and two have gas stoves; another room has a private, ground-level entrance. On pleasant mornings, breakfast is served on the back deck overlooking the gardens and river. It's a short walk into town for dining and shopping.

A former Navy base that's now connected by causeway to the downtown area, Goat Island is home to this resort (formerly known as Gurney's Newport) that comes complete with a walking path around the island, a marina full of yachts, a fitness center, and a picturesque lighthouse. Most guest rooms and suites have a water view and are furnished in a contemporary style in calm colors that reflect the sea, sky, and sand. Dining options include the 1639 restaurant and a casual poolside place for a drink or casual bite to eat. Drinks and snacks can also be ordered on a firepit deck that has the best sunset views in downtown Newport. In winter, the hotel has a skating rink on the shores of the bay and serves hot cocoa and other warming goodies.

Housed in a 12-floor neo-Renaissance former bank building from 1912, Nine Orchard is one of the chicest places in Lower Manhattan to lay one's head for the night. The rooms are bigger than average and are loaded with thoughtful touches: need make-up remover? Check the bathroom toiletries. Forgot your electrical adopter for your European or British electronic gadget? An adopter is in a bedside drawer. Wrinkled clothes? There's a steamer  in the closet. Need a NY-centric soundtrack to your stay? A custom speaker system streams songs into your room to go along with the work of local artists on the walls. 

On the top nine floors of a former landmark department store, this swanky Marriott Luxury Collection has the city's poshest accommodations, with luxe decor and two notable restaurants. Rooms are chic and modern, with a soothing cream-and-blue color scheme, fine bedding, BeeKind bath products, iPod docks, and stunning views of Downtown, the West Hills, and even Mt. Hood from east-facing rooms. The expansive lobby, in a central, skylit atrium, has inviting sitting areas with interesting local art and framed photos, a dark and inviting library and billiards lounge, and the excellent steak house, Urban Farmer.

Big Bear lodging went up a big notch with the opening of this property, which is laid out like a microvillage with a main road draped in market lights and eight, uniquely themed, superbly decorated (with mid-century and other vintage touches) two-story cabins. Most accommodate two to four people, and all have a stocked kitchenette, queen beds, and a cozy living room with a fireplace and 50-inch TV. Private patios with barbecues, cedar soaking tubs, and beach cruisers are other amenities that make you feel right at home. The keyless entry and lack of a lobby add an element of privacy and freedom. Although there's no on-site restaurant, Big Bear Village is about a mile away.

Just beyond downtown, state Senator Winburn Staples (1855–1939) built this stately 1903 home above Highland Lake on large grounds that include a pine grove; guests enjoy luxurious comforts and a relaxing atmosphere where they can kick back on the wraparound porch, in an Adirondack chair by one of the firepits, or in the living room or den, which has a gas-burning fireplace (two accommodations have electric ones)—perhaps with a drink from the intimate guests-only bar. Three of the four suites have Jacuzzi or soaking tubs. All accommodations have high-end linens and toiletries as well as bathrobes and slippers (take the slippers home if you'd like). Sumptuous breakfasts alternate between sweet and savory entrées and may include frittatas or pumpkin bread drizzled with cream cheese. Courtesy teas and coffee are always on hand.

One of the best hotels in the Northeast, this stylish 1908 Arts and Crafts--style manor house marries "coastal grandma" chic with a personal touch. Innkeepers Annabelle and Simon Hunton are genial hosts that make guests feel like they're family friends on holiday. 

The swanky NoMad hotel chain made its Las Vegas debut with a hotel that comprises the top four floors of Park MGM but with its own check-in area, a separate high-limit casino, and the NoMad Library restaurant and NoMad Bar down below. Upstairs, rooms evoke apartment-style living, some with standalone tubs, wood floors, steamer trunk minibars, separate water closets, and wraparound daybeds. Each room is also decorated differently, featuring original photographs. Attention to detail with customer service is second to none, and managers often research guests before check-in to provide personal attention. There's a private pool deck as well. The Sydell Group, the parent company of NoMad, was instrumental in designing the new vibe for Park MGM as a whole.

Formerly a boardinghouse, this attractively renovated, offbeat hotel occupies a stately two-story 1920s building a few steps from Fort George Brewery and offers a mix of small, European-style rooms with shared baths down the hall and a few spacious suites with a private bath. The friendly and helpful owners are constantly making upgrades, and the rates are as low as you'll find on the Oregon Coast, making this quite a deal if you're okay with simply decorated accommodations.

A two-story boutique property near downtown Yountville's northern edge, the North Block attracts sophisticated travelers who appreciate the clever but unpretentious style and offhand luxury. The 20 rooms cluster around a courtyard warmed by a fireplace when the weather demands it. All rooms have safes, dimmable lights, flat-screen TVs, quality music systems, Nespresso coffee machines, and refrigerators replenished daily with filtered water. Some rooms have fireplaces. Radiant floor heating warms the uncommonly spacious bathrooms, all equipped with deep soaking tubs. Olive and other trees shade the fenced-off pool at the back of the property. The pool and hotel's public areas always look spotless, and the management prides itself on the personalized service guests receive.

With a commanding position overlooking the bay just north of downtown Camden, this impressive, turreted "castle" exudes old world grandeur. It was built in 1886 by local businessman Joseph Stearns, who spent a year visiting European castles before creating his own. Today, it's an elegantly appointed, luxury inn. Among its nine rooms and two suites are two that are tucked inside a turret, and another that's set in the castle's original, two-story library. Some have fabulous ocean views, some have private balconies or patios, some have fireplaces, and some have deep soaking tubs. The luxurious penthouse suite is a rare hideaway you won't want to leave. Lodging includes a full breakfast with multiple choices and a daily hot entrée. The inn was purchased in 2022, and the new owner implemented extensive renovations and interior upgrades to make it even more luxurious.

Built in 1862 by Sam Bemis, America's grandfather of landscape photography, the gracious granite manor house exudes mountain charm and is popular with Crawford Notch hikers who favor luxury. There's a wood-burning fireplace in every room, and guests can relax in the big library and partake of lavish five-course meals in the romantic and refined restaurant.

A small enclave of 1840s-era buildings make up this homey, idyllic hostel. Nightly prices put the rest of the city's downtown lodgings to shame and include both dorm beds and private rooms. Of course, you need to be able to handle sharing a bathroom and kitchen space with fellow travelers. Linens, a locker, parking, and Internet access are free. A nearby sister property, the Annex, shares the same check-in desk but features six private rooms with queen beds and one room with a double bed and private bath.
