1204 Best Hotels in USA

The AC Hotel by Marriott is minimalist and elegant, with a European flair (the brand started in Spain). One of the key features is the location: with walking distance to Chinatown, Downtown D.C., and Capitol Hill, the central location makes it a great choice.

This large, hip hotel is always buzzing with action. Expect friendly staff, stylish amenities, and several top-notch dining options. The hotel has one of the best rooftop pool bars in the city. Performance spaces and shops on-site feature local culture and talent.

The stylish guestrooms received a recent top-to-bottom redo at the boutique Alexis Royal Sonesta, which occupies a pair of historic buildings (on the National Register of Historic Places, in fact) near the waterfront; the new design has a contemporary loft vibe, featuring handsome Northwest-inspired hues, textures, and furnishings that complement the hotel's high ceilings and walls of windows.

The centerpiece of this modern, stylish high-rise, across the street from the beach in the middle of Waikiki, is the lobby's mesmerizing aquarium, filled with nearly 300,000 gallons of seawater and colorful marine life. There's something for everyone here, including airy guest rooms with private lanai and ocean views; an expansive, rooftop-deck infinity pool with a bar that serves small plates all day; and two of chef Morimoto’s restaurants—Morimoto Asia, which has stunning views, and the casual, street-level Momosan. The resort fee here includes the Beach Candy program, with a first-come, first-served array of beach toys and accessories. The exclusive Longboard Club, open to concierge-level guests, offers plenty of indoor-outdoor seating and a great selection of food and drink for breakfast and dinner.

The name of this Hyatt brand means \"personal style\" in Hindi, and the serene and spacious modern rooms evoke that coveted New York loft feel, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking 5th Avenue and the New York Public Library. Elevator bays on each floor feature artwork from local high school students, while the robust artists-in-residence program showcases works by emerging local artists. The minimalist, contemporary guest rooms come with king beds, marble bathrooms with porcelain foot baths and walk-in rain showers, closets made of glass to display shopping purchases, and notable freebies—Wi-Fi, snacks, and nonalcoholic drinks. A significant portion of the rooms are suites, which offer guests upgrades that include private balconies or landscaped terraces. Wellness Suites have freestanding bathtubs, weights, yoga mats, the Mirror virtual fitness service, and healthier snacks. The Bar Downstairs and Kitchen is a candlelit, wood-filled space ideal for a classic cocktail and farm-to-table dishes. 

Formerly the home of a lumber baron, this four-story Victorian mansion is a short walk from downtown Stillwater and tucked into a historic neighborhood. Owners Jeremy and Erin Drews are a young couple who are coffee aficionados and brew their own beer, and the full breakfast that they serve daily in the dining room highlights local food producers. In each of the five rooms are a king bed, Italian-made bed linens, L'Occitane en Provence toiletries, a private bath, a fireplace, and a whirlpool tub.

Within Maine's 100-Mile Wilderness, Appalachian Mountain Club's 100,000-plus acres encompass three historic sporting-camp retreats that make it easy for guests to recreate in the great outdoors; each has cabins and a woodsy main lodge with a fireplace, sitting area with games and books, and long tables where meals (included in rates) are served family-style. Cabins have wood stoves, and the locales have a bunkhouse (or two), sauna, and a bathhouse with hot showers. There are a few ADA-accessible cabins with private baths, at Gorman Chairback Lodge & Cabins and Medawisla Lodge & Cabins; one of the bunkhouses at the latter has its own shared bath. On the backcountry lands surrounding these retreats and Little Lyford Lodge & Cabins, the moose are abundant and the hiking, fly-fishing, canoeing, kayaking, standup paddleboarding, biking (mountain, gravel, and fat-tire), birding, and trail running are excellent. Naturalist programs are offered periodically in the summer. Come winter, about 90 miles of trails—part of AMC's free interconnected trail system—are groomed for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat-tire biking.

Nestled among spruces, moss-covered rocks, and the Barred Island Nature Preserve, Aragosta is one of Maine's most tranquil oceanfront complexes. The property includes nine private cottages with kitchenettes and sitting areas that sleep up to four guests as well as three semidetached suites, a private beach, and one of the most acclaimed restaurants in the state.

Ideal for travelers seeking design pizzazz, a see-and-be-seen atmosphere, and first-class amenities, this five-story downtown Napa property fuses New York City chic and Las Vegas glamour. Ultracontemporary rooms with Nespresso coffeemakers, wine refrigerators, and appropriate (and appropriately located) electronics docking stations come in several categories, from 285-square-foot Classic Kings to 780-square-foot Archer's Den suites with balconies and fireplaces. All rooms have beds draped in 100%-cotton linens and topped with down duvets and down pillows. There are also work desks, safes, and flat-screen TVs with premium channels. Small refrigerators are stocked with refreshments; there's a fee for them, but it's reasonable. The look overall is clean and sophisticated, with local art adorning the rooms and the hallways. Some of the best views are from upper-floor rooms facing south and west, though the southern ones pick up a little street noise on the balconies.

Each floor of rooms in this nine-story building is dedicated to a different artist, with original art in every room by the artist, as well—you can't miss the entry-level greeting Wall Drawing #397 by Sol LeWitt or the video art in the elevators that signal this is going to be a unique lodging experience. The eclectic rooms feature vividly colored pillows, furniture in fanciful yet quite comfortable shapes, and welcome touches such as white marble bathrooms, espresso machines, expandable workstations, and very soft bathrobes. The hotel sits next to the Denver Art Museum—the museum’s curator of 30 years was also responsible for assembling the $100 million in pieces at ART, almost all of which can be viewed simply by asking a staff member to escort you—and is within walking distance of many other art museums as well as across the street from the History Colorado Center. Let's not forget the incredible views from the upper-floor rooms and the restaurant and lounge. The window-surrounded, fourth-floor restaurant, Fire, serves modern American cuisine and offers an art-heavy, stylish, and inviting atmosphere, with the one-story-high, Mylar-based Light Knots by Larry Bell as its centerpiece. The floor-to-ceiling glass walls between the lobby and outdoor lounge area operate like sliding doors and are left open on temperate evenings, and the firepit, also a work of art, surrounds comfortable seating that leads to private, covered seating elsewhere on the patio overlooking Broadway.

This small boutique hotel and its eponymous gourmet restaurant occupy two renovated early-20th-century Downtown buildings. Luxe Italian Frette linens and plush duvets dress the beds; coffee is delivered to each room every morning, and cookies are left during turn-down service. The Ashton is only one block from Sundance Square entertainment and restaurants, two blocks from the stunning Bass Performance Hall, and seven minutes' drive from Fort Worth's Museum District.

Opened in 2019 by veterans of the local fishing industry, this dapper boutique hotel with roomy, thoughtfully designed accommodations overlooks Ilwaco's scenic marina and Baker Bay and abounds with welcoming features, from complimentary wine and beer at check-in to cruiser bikes to in-room Amazon Alexa entertainment stations. Light breakfasts are delivered to guests' rooms in the morning, and the excellent Waterline Pub serves delicious lunch and dinner fare. Eco-friendly bath products, lighting, and other green features are used throughout the property.

Perched on a hill amid floral gardens and undulating lawns, away from the hubbub of the Old Harbor area, this classic Victorian (1879) resort dazzles guests with its big windows, high ceilings, sweeping staircase, and mesmerizing views. Most of the oak and maple furnishings in the freshly renovated guest rooms are original to the building, and in the evenings, Adirondack chairs on the lawn are all turned toward the dazzling show put on by the setting sun.

It's easy to fall in love with this new-in-2022, adults-only Acme Hospitality property in a restored mid-century jewel of an apartment complex—we're talking sun-dappled breezeways, clerestory windows, carved doors, a low-slung roof, and a full-wall white-brick fireplace fronted by a shag rug in the lobby living room. Your stay starts with a warm hello, a boozy welcome drink, and the first opportunity to decompress amid the hushed peace that can only be found at 21-and-over accommodations. The recuperation will continue in your spacious room, which will likely have a kitchenette and a patio hammock and will definitely be swathed in soothing organic tones and have gorgeous tile, custom millwork, and a bed built for deep sleep. Complete the relaxation process by meditating poolside or next to one of the longest (and best) firepits in town.

Nestled within a “hardwood hammock” (localese for uplands habitat where hardwood trees such as live oak grow) near the southern border of Everglades National Park, this sprawling, 13-acre resort is not to be missed. There are plenty of reasons to stay on property including three dining outlets; a family activities center with on-site programs; state-of-the-art water sports; charter services and perks like outdoor movie nights, free use of fishing poles and complimentary bikes. Guest rooms, with a color palette that reflects the natural serenity of the grounds, are spacious, modern, and all have a balcony. The deluxe Baker's Cay suite with a kitchen and two bedrooms will make you want to quit your job and move to the Keys. Follow the trails to the white-sand beach for a nightly sunset celebration.

A thatched-roof gate opens to the courtyard of this informal Balinese-inspired guesthouse, which has a sweeping view of Hana Bay, a ground-floor studio with a private outdoor shower, and two other units with private whirlpool hot tubs on second-floor decks. The upstairs units can be combined to house six, and all units have kitchenettes with limited cooking supplies. In keeping with the community's ecominded spirit, owner John Romain keeps it green with photovoltaic solar panels, nontoxic cleaning products, and recycling receptacles in each unit.

The handsome rooms at this warm and inviting downtown hotel come with atmospheric furnishings—some have gas fireplaces and jetted tubs—and the price includes an ample complimentary breakfast of waffles, biscuits and gravy, ham and potatoes, and more. Original artwork and antiques add to the old-world atmosphere throughout the property.

This fantastic lodge comprising eight standalone cabins either situated creekside or around a pond feels serene, even when there's live music at the restaurant or a loud concert down the road. Each cabin has a wood stove and an electric heater. Interior walls are chinked logs, beds have colorful quilts, and the lighting fixtures are modeled after gold rush–era styles. The cabins vary in size, but the largest sleeps up to six and has its own bath. A central bathhouse has hot showers and toilets, and all guests have access to the sauna. The excellent Dirty Skillet restaurant offers great food and live music on the weekends.

Tasteful and modern decor adorns the rooms at this stately inn set directly on Taylor Creek, where the whinnies of wild horses at the Rachel Carson Reserve can be heard from your private balcony. Chandeliers in bathrooms, electric blinds, and leather headboards convey nautical-imbued luxury. There's an outdoor pool and hot tub, a sizeable gym, and a first-rate restaurant, 34° North, that draws locals for dinner and drinks as the sun sets over the water. Dinner reservations are essential on weekends, even for guests. Opt for the $15 valet parking—self-parking is free, but it's several hundred yards away.

This 1890s Victorian inn charms with its handsome gables and wraparound verandas. Pine-floor guest rooms have period reproductions, striped wallpaper, and comfy chairs, and several have fireplaces and four-poster beds. The landmark inn is right in the heart of the downtown historic district, and most rooms have views of the surrounding buildings, courtyards, and gardens.

After sitting abandoned for years, a historic, late-19th-century office building was transformed into a chic hotel that channels old New York, home to the gorgeous lobby's Bar Room and atmospheric Temple Court restaurant, by award-winning chef Tom Colicchio; and Le Gratin, helmed by chef Daniel Boulud. The original nine-story atrium with ornate balustrades soars above the lobby, providing a dramatic photo op for guests. Operated as a Thompson Hotel (part of Hyatt), rooms and suites feature beds with leather headboards, oak floors, and whimsical touches like beaded lamps. This place draws a sophisticated downtown crowd and is especially popular with magazine editors who work nearby.

America's oldest operating inn, the Beekman Arms is a welcoming presence in the center of town. Beyond the massive doors are wide-plank floors, beamed ceilings, and a stone hearth. The original 1766 building has smallish though cheery and comfortable colonial-style rooms with modern baths. One block north on U.S. 9 is "the Beek's" sister, the Delamater Inn. The American Gothic masterpiece, designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, has a hidden courtyard. The guesthouse behind the inn houses pet-friendly, motel-style rooms.

This carefully restored, 1910 railroad hotel was the first of the iconic lodges built by the Great Northern Railroad and sits directly across the road from the historic West Glacier Railroad Station, making it particularly convenient for guests arriving by rail. The lodge is conveniently located just outside the West Glacier park entrance in what was once the park's winter headquarters. Rooms are cozy and bright with period furnishings and original woodwork. Some rooms open up to a private deck area with lovely views. The Lewis and Clark Cottages, which remain open in winter, are snug up against the evergreen forest behind the lodge. If train noise will bother you, ask for a room at the back of the hotel. 

The glossy, handsome hotel which sits across the Intracoastal Waterway and is a block from Clematis Street radiates swagger, and, this being an Autograph Collection hotel, has numerous posh perks. Named in honor of Byrd and Fred Dewey’s original Palm Beach County estate named Ben Trovato, the hotel blends vintage good looks with contemporary comforts; its lobby is outfitted in oriental rugs, wicker swing chairs, leather-tufted sofas, and soaring bookcases. Amenities include a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center, custom-designed bicycles for guests, morning yoga, pet-friendly policies, and a rooftop pool with private cabanas and an outdoor firepit. There's even a "Book Butler Program," a curated in-room menu of exciting reads honoring the hotel’s muse, Byrd Dewey. The roof boasts the first and only rooftop waterfront drinking and dining outlet in downtown West Palm Beach. The dapperness extends to the rooms, with headboards swathed in toffee-color leather, Turkish linens, 55" smart TVs, Nespresso coffeemakers, and La Bottega bath products. Suites feature balconies and soaking tubs or glass showers overlooking the Palm Harbor Marina. Both dining outlets---Proper Grit, on the ground floor and Spruzzo, on the rooftop---are uniformly excellent, though they tend to get crowded on the weekends.

Located in Hot Springs State Park on the banks of the Big Horn River and by far the best hotel in town, this handsomely restored 1918 hotel has spacious rooms with attractive Western log-cabin-style furnishings, and suites have fireplaces. Guests can take a dip in the seasonal courtyard pool or soak in the private hot tub, fed directly from geothermal mineral springs. The hotel is a short walk from several other hot springs pools inside the park.

After a massive expansion, the original Betsy Ross Hotel (christened the "Colonial" wing) has been joined with what was the neighboring, historic Carlton Hotel to create a retro-chic, art deco treasure that delivers the full-throttle South Beach experience with style, pizzazz, and a big-time cultural bonus: year-round programs include poetry readings, live jazz, and art shows. The front porch and outdoor eating space along Ocean Drive are perfect for quintessential SoBe people-watching. The lobby, which remains in the original Colonial wing, is busy, but not insanely so, and cultivates a social, trendy scene, especially in the evenings. The guest rooms of The Betsy 2.0 embody a color palette of white and ocean-blue tones with pops of green. Enjoy time at the rooftop pool deck, and consider dining at the hotel's excellent surf-and-turf restaurant by chef Laurent Tourondel, LT Steak & Seafood.

Built in the 1990s with meticulous attention to detail, the original section of this 2-acre complex feels like an Adirondack resort, with lodge rooms and highly recommended kitchenette-equipped cabins with fine art, fireplaces, and 19th-century American antiques. The great room has rough-hewn beams, plank floors, cathedral ceilings, Persian rugs, and even an elk's head over the giant river-rock fireplace. In 2022, the owners purchased the neighboring former motel and renamed it the Rubicon Building. Though upgraded with a nod to the lodge accommodations and cabins, the building's rooms and suites aren't quite as appealing.

Housed in an 1823 Federal-style mansion with a rooftop cupola, Blind Tiger is an enclave of both historic elegance and personalized comfort. Rooms are elegant and serene, outfitted mostly in soft shades (one lovely exception: the deep blue walls of a king-bed room named Diavolo) and punctuated by soft abstract art pieces and contemporary lighting. And when you’re done exploring the city (service is incredibly thoughtful and informed, and willing to provide directions and recommendations), there’s a subterranean billiards room for hanging out in. There's another location on Carleton Street.

Combining New England–style architecture with a Southern California setting, this gray-clapboard bed-and-breakfast rests on a bluff overlooking the harbor and ocean. A fire warms the inviting living area and cozy library, where you can enjoy complimentary breakfast in the morning and hors d'oeuvres and wine every afternoon. They bake fresh cookies (even gluten-free) to enjoy up in your spacious guest room. Most have fireplaces and updated bathrooms with deep soaking whirlpool tubs. Listen to the barking harbor seals from your balcony or patio. The staff are so nice at this B&B. Borrow one of their bicycles for an adventure out exploring the seaside beauty of Dana Point.
