1102 Best Hotels in USA

As one of the most luxurious hotels in San Diego, this retreat completed a $60 million resort-wide transformation in 2020, with redesigned rooms, a new lobby, family pool with water park, luxury cabanas, and three new restaurants including Ember & Rye by celebrity chef Richard Blais. It's a play-and-relax haven with an Arnold Palmer–designed golf course, a tennis club, two pools, and views overlooking Batiquitos Lagoon and the Pacific among its 250 acres. The 540-square-foot rooms are remarkably spacious and feature every possible amenity including king beds, private terraces with water views, and deep soaking tubs. Despite the lavishly appointed grounds, the resort is exceptionally family-friendly. Children have their own pool with waterslides, and can join parents in the Topgolf Swing Suite with virtual screens, a golfing simulator, and arcade games. The Ponto Lago restaurant serves Baja-inspired cuisine, or for something less formal, head to the terrace for cocktails and live music (Friday and Saturday). A shopping shuttle transports guests to the Carlsbad Outlets, and a beach shuttle makes a daily trip to Moonlight Beach in Encinitas during the summer upon request.  Dinner at Ember & Rye or a pampering treatment at the Miraval Spa are worth the splurge.

From the moment you enter its ground-floor "salon," this hotel soothes the soul with vintage furniture and black-and-white photographs showing the rise of east Jackson. Each room has a distinctive look—with oak or wicker furniture—and each is filled with well-chosen furnishings from the 19th century onward. The overall effect is homey and delightful, especially if you plan to stay a few days or longer. Continental breakfasts are served in an antiques-filled lounge. This quiet property is just three blocks from the Town Square.

This upscale resort, near Mallory Square in the heart of Old Town, offers a wide range of amenities, including a beach and comfortable, traditionally furnished rooms. The location—on a quiet stretch of shore at the foot of Duval—is ideal as a buffer from and gateway to the action. Its sprawling complex of weathered gray buildings includes an original Conch house.

Six top-of-the-line suites extend over the water with sunset views. Rooms nearest the public areas can be noisy.

Tucked just off King Street in the heart of the College of Charleston district, this upscale 24-room inn offers spacious rooms with king beds and in-room laundry, plus suites with full kitchens.

This Swiss-style ski-in ski-out lodge is a winner for skiers, combining upscale accommodations with an unpretentious attitude. The aura of laid-back luxury comes from little extras such as afternoon tea or hot chocolate by the fireplace in the lobby; there's even an on-site ski shop. Rooms are clean and light. They vary in size—ask for a corner room facing the mountain, as these have an extra sofa (with foldout bed) for contemplating the views from the large windows. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the ski area. The lodge is also known for its fine restaurant, the much-lauded Grouse Mountain Grill.

Part of the Relais & Châteaux group, this boutique property with well-appointed, expansive, and beautifully maintained rooms is a stately sanctuary amid the bustle of Charleston's City Market. Light streams into the Victorian front parlor with its rich velvets, 19th-century portraits, and Asian antiques. Rooms in the historic main building (versus those in the newer Piazza Building, which overlook a tranquil garden courtyard) have more atmosphere and a more residential feel. Service is unobtrusive, but not stuffy. The best rooms have fireplaces and verandas; all have four-poster beds. Top-tier suites are suitably over the top in terms of comfort. Packages with breakfast and/or dinner at the amazing on-site Peninsula Grill are a good value.

Originally the home of William Avery Rockefeller, this ultra-exclusive retreat evokes the spirit of the great Adirondack camps. The secluded property occupies a forested peninsula on Upper Saranac Lake. Rooms, housed in four buildings, blend rustic furniture with handsome antiques and rich fabrics. Each guest room has a stone fireplace and lake views; some have pine-lined cathedral ceilings or private decks or patios. You may play billiards or darts at the intimate pub, which shares the Eagle's Nest building with three guest rooms. Overlooking the lake is the capacious Boathouse ($2,600 a night; offered from mid-April through October only), a favorite of honeymooners. Your day starts with Continental breakfast in your room or a hot meal in the dining room. Guests gather for lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, and menus are set, but you may opt to have a lunch to go or eat in your room. Dinner is rather formal, with jacket and tie upgraded to black tie Wednesday and Saturday evenings. The deposit alone is $500, without which you don't get directions. But that's the point of exclusivity, isn't it?

Comfortable and relaxed digs offer vineyard and garden views and are modeled after the Carmel Mission with lots of dark wood, massive doors, leather furnishings, and open spaces.

The sleek, modern Prince—which looks to Asia both in its high-style decor and such pampering touches as the traditional oshiburi (chilled hand towel) for refreshment upon check-in—has luxury oceanfront rooms and suites overlooking the Ala Wai Boat Harbor at Waikiki's ewa (western) edge. It's close to Honolulu's downtown business district, the Hawaii Convention Center, and world-class shopping at Ala Moana Center. There's no beach here, but the sprawling, contemporary pool deck with cabanas and plenty of seating is an ideal spot to relax and soak in the island vibes. Ala Moana Beach Park is a 10-minute stroll along the harbor, and the hotel also offers discounted golf rates at the Hawaii Prince Golf Club (and a complimentary shuttle there). 

This mountain-luxe slope-side hotel provides an upscale retreat at a down-home resort, featuring roomy two- to four-bedroom suites decorated with contemporary furnishings.

A game area and a heated pool with a slide make it a hit with kids, while a hot tub and private club make it a perfect place for adults to unwind. A wide range of on-site and Village Center restaurants provide variety for longer stays, and Purgatory also offers condos and townhomes.

Set amid 14,000 acres of forest and pastureland, this ranch is a great place to get away from it all, with oceanview accommodations that include two, romantic, two-bedroom cottages that are perfect for couples and a lodge that can accommodate up to 22 guests, with 12 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and a large kitchen.

The residents of Quogue so love this historic property that when is was about to close, they formed a cooperative to purchase and restore it to its former glory, adding designer chic and a range of health and fitness activities to its appeal.

With interiors by famed designer Alexa Hampton, it's a sophisticated and relaxed place to clear your mind and get in vacation mode, with complimentary bicycles, a fitness center, yoga and Pilates classes, a massage room, and a children's room.

The River Arts District finally has a boutique hotel, and it's as funky as the building's history (it's been a cereal factory, a coffee roaster, and an indoor paintball arena). The adults-only destination features rooms with high ceilings and graffiti murals on exposed brick walls. The on-site restaurant, Golden Hour, serves locally sourced, wood-fired fare. There's also a rooftop bar and coffee shop. 

Boston's newest hotel is an outstanding exercise in utter luxury, and it all begins at check-in high above Boston (17 floors to be precise) at the gorgeous Sky Lobby. The hotel decor is unparalleled and palatial, a nod to its historic cultural surroundings and the city’s Emerald Necklace, with botanical influences throughout the property. Everything about the mid-century American rooms is over the top, from Garnier Thiebault linens to marble bathrooms with rain showers, 24-hour butler service to 4K UHD 65-inch televisions. The well-being sanctuary on the 4th floor features a state-of-the-art fitness center, a sensational 65-foot indoor pool, and the Guerlain Spa. There are several incredible dining options on-site, including La Padrona and the celebrated Amar. Pop into the hotel's speakeasy, Blind Duck, if you can find it (hint: take the staircase in the Sky Lobby to the lavish space behind an unmarked door).

Sports fans find each other and comfortable rooms at the Rally in McGregor Square, which not only sits right across the street from Coors Field but also features a 60-by-20-foot LED screen that can be seen from most windows and displays sporting events and news stations 24/7. Concerts year-round and an ice skating rink in winter provide additional entertainment on the 17,000-square-foot plaza. Rooms are masculine and spacious, filled with dark wood and leather furniture. The $25 (plus tax) daily amenity fee includes a daily cup of coffee, a daily happy hour drink, access to the fitness center and yoga room, a plunge pool surrounded by lounge seating and fire pits on the roof, and discounts on food and beverages in the hotel and nearby eateries and museums. The hotel houses one of the outposts of the beloved Tattered Cover bookstore, which also provides a selection of books in each room for guests to enjoy during a stay. The Original sends out upscale twists on classic diner foods for weekend brunch, lunch, and dinner; the Rally Bar is a hotspot before and after sporting events; and the primary food options on morning weekdays are the Grandstand Cafe, which microwaves a few breakfast sandwiches, and an on-site Starbucks.

A short walk west of downtown, this nicely appointed but visually unremarkable hotel (formerly known as the Prospector) is a favorite with business travelers year-round and lawmakers during the winter legislative session. Rooms are spacious and have cherrywood furnishings, leather chairs, and ottomans. T. K. Maguire's dining room and lounge, just off the lobby, serves prime rib, steaks, and seafood, and Sunday brunch is popular.

Originally the crew headquarters for the Pacific Coast Borax Company, this ranch-turned-resort is more like a town, with two restaurants, an ice-cream parlor, general store, saloon, golf course, riding stables, and comfortable rooms that are great for families. The newest additions are 80 cottages with private laundry facilities, a lounge, patio, and rooms with either one king or two queen beds. More affordable rooms are in the original four buildings that overlook green lawns and the surrounding mountains. The property also has an RV campground with 25 nonhookup sites, as well as tent sites. The spring-fed pool here is popular, but the multisport complex also offers basketball, tennis, volleyball, a playground, and a small driving range.

If you're looking to get in touch with yourself—or your traveling companion—this Old West–style ranch on the banks of Piney Creek in the foothills of the Big Horns may well be the place. The four bedrooms in the restored 1912 house, as well as modern rooms and cabins around the property, are given a warm Western feel by gnarled wood lamps, quilt-covered beds, and comfy throws for cool nights. Most accommodations open onto spacious decks where you can read, watch the sun set, or just gaze at the Canada geese, grazing horses, and towering cottonwoods. Do some mountain-stream fishing or take a pack trip to mountain lakes. Good for family reunions and retreats.

Built in 1927 as an apartment house, the Raphael today bills itself as a boutique hotel. It's an intimate, European-style facility with large rooms that have excellent views of the plaza.

Director John Ford discovered this working cattle ranch in the late 1940s and used it as the setting for several of his westerns, and you can feel transported into one as you gaze onto the Colorado River and high canyon walls from your simple but elegant room. The River Queen cabins are especially nice, with private decks overlooking the rapids below. All rooms have western-style decor, including log furniture and Saltillo-tiled bathrooms. Attractions include an on-site winery, a movie memorabilia museum, and plenty of space to walk and enjoy the location. The helpful staff are happy to arrange guided rafting, hiking, biking, and off-road tours throughout your stay. Although it's not a traditional guest ranch, horseback riding, guided by real-life cowboys and cowgirls, is also offered. With all the adventure here, you'll probably work up an appetite, and The Cowboy Grill at Red Cliffs serves excellent meals. It's a good thing, too, because town is about 14 miles away.

The only privately owned property and lodge on 9-mile Crescent Lake offers excellent meals, plenty of comfort, memorable adventures, and a fantastic view of Mt. Redoubt—the park's volcano—8 miles away. The lodge can assist you with getting outfitted for kayaking, paddleboarding, wildlife-viewing, fishing, flightseeing, and photography trips. Airfare from Anchorage and fishing licenses are included in the rates.

Walk to the ocean side of the soaring atrium at this family- and pet-friendly hotel (formerly the Loews) and you feel like you're on a cruise ship: massive windows give way to the expansive sea below, and sunny "experience managers" are just a text away.

Rooms come with a complimentary "refreshment center" stocked with drinks and snacks (you can even choose what you want before you arrive). Higher rooms have arched ceilings with side skylights. The state-of-the-art fitness center is joined by the West Coast's only Guerlain spa for true L.A.-grade training and primping. The experience managers are joined by beach butlers to plan out and enhance your stay. Meet friends in the clubby lobby, take in the ocean views over fresh Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare at the dreamy Orla by celebrity chef Michael Mina, or enjoy tableside cocktails at the Orla Bar. If you're seeking something simpler, try Sweet July Cafe (featuring another hot chef collab with Ayesha Curry) for warm drinks, pastries, and other quick bites. Kids and pets go first-class at the Regent, with loaner gear, amenity kits, and special activities.

Jacuzzi suites are available, as are oversized marble bathrooms with TVs. The lobby area, which has a towering atrium, houses the Sans Souci restaurant.

A breathtaking chandelier graces the lobby of this Marriott property that attracts business folks during the week and leisure travelers and wedding parties on weekends. The curved building is a distinct landmark on I–35; it sort of resembles a giant tube of lipstick. Ask for a room with a Downtown view.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and snug in downtown, this hotel offers rooms that feature a television, down comforters (duvets) and down pillows, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Both continental and buffet breakfast are available for an additional cost at BOS, which serves up comfort foods with a Midwestern twist, and throughout the day you can get espresso drinks and snacks at Coda Coffee.
