Creative funk meets island culture at Onancock's boutique hotel, four blocks from the harbor on Onancock Creek. Rooms and public space are delightfully, imaginatively appointed.

Order a cocktail from the bar, nab a seat by a firepit, and watch the swans and turtles swim in the lake before a fine-dining feast at the on-site restaurant, Mélange.

Just one block off Bourbon Street, this branch of the Holiday Inn chain is pleasantly distinctive, with spacious rooms occupying a historic 19th-century New Orleans landmark, designed in part by famous architect James Gallier.

It's a favorite overnight roost among visiting politicians, business leaders, and celebs. Request a room on a higher floor—the view of Downtown Sacramento is impressive. The upscale-contemporary Grange Restaurant & Bar draws plenty of locals in addition to hotel guests.

European sensibility, a youthful vibe, reasonable rates, and a safe Union Square location make this art-filled hotel a smart and popular choice, and though rooms are compact---with in-room sinks; oval, glass-walled shower/WC pods; and king-size beds that run literally wall to wall---smart organization helps offset the size, as do the lobby's large and colorful Living Room and bar. 

The first location of this Dutch hotel to land on the West Coast wears its design-forward mindset on the facade, adorned with a mural by local Native American artist Jeffrey Veregge. Cool, high-tech, and full of amenities, the hotel works well for the kind of young, connected people it aims to attract. Co-working spaces, art, and a 24/7 canteen fill the huge lobby, and a phone app operates everything from check-in to the room lights. 

Boston's citizenM keeps the jet-setting budget-minded traveler in mind. The hotel's vibe is bold, contemporary, and colorful, and the rooms are small, but well designed to maximize space and accommodate the comfy, extra-king-sized bed.

Housed in a former 19th-century grist mill, this newly-opened boutique hotel on the banks of Chattahoochee River features comfortable rooms and an on-site restaurant with breathtaking riverfront views—original brick walls, ironwork and wood beams are incorporated into the design of the public spaces and rooms, creating warmth and a sense of history. Rooms feature all the creature comforts you’d expect, plus a Nespresso machine and luxurious rain shower system. A free continental breakfast with fresh baked pastries is offered each morning. 

Travelers love this hotel for its residential feel and location beyond the downtown tourist areas. The rooms boast a bright, vibrant color scheme with art deco accents, and  (per the "Suites" in the name) most have separate sitting areas with pullout couches. The hotel's proximity to the 'L' train, however, is both a blessing and a curse; you'll have easy access to downtown and the North Side, but with the 'L' being a 24-hour service, train noise might be a pain at night. Amenities include tea and coffee all day, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary passes to a nearby health club.

Stepping off the ferry at Ocean Beach, you practically fall into Clegg's Hotel, in the center of town and a five-minute walk from the beach, and this is authentic, no-frills Fire Island. Fashioned after a sailors' rooming house, it has the feel of a college residence, but details like a flower painted on each door—done 20 years ago by a now locally famous artist—give it a touch of charm. Rooms are basic and clean; studios have water or garden views and private bathrooms, and regular rooms face the garden and share four bathrooms. Owner Tyler Streck takes pride in his place, started by his grandfather Eugene "Gene" Clegg in 1946, and welcomes guests like family. He provides bikes, beach gear and board games and avoids having TVs or clocks in the rooms to encourage carefree bonding time.

Palo Alto doesn’t exactly strike travelers as an all-inclusive luxury getaway like Cancún, but that’s what this impeccable hotel offers. Located just on the other side of the Caltrain tracks from the heart of University Avenue, the suites and amenities really are quite striking. Drinks, meals, and a personal concierge are all included, as is valet parking and twice-a-day housekeeping. All suites have living rooms, giant streaming flat-screen TVs, lovely Matouk linens, and bathrooms featuring soaking tubs and rain shower heads.
