5218 Best Hotels in USA

This opulent, all-suites hotel feels like an Asian museum: serene and beautiful, with heavy granite furniture lifted by orange accents, warm candlelight, and the soft bubble of seemingly endless ponds complemented by three oceanfront infinity pools (heated to different temperatures) that further spill onto the beach's velvety sands. Suites are a minimum of 550 square feet and are divided between the hotel's art deco building and its residential tower. The colossal Ocean Suites range from one-bedroom to a 10,000-square-foot, four-bedroom suite, all with special amenities like a private VIP entrance, a dedicated concierge, round-trip private airport transfers, complimentary spa treatment, and access to the house cars. Even if you can't afford a stay at one of Miami's priciest hotels, take time to visit this most beautifully designed space. Its restaurants and bar— Jaya, Ocean Grill, Japón, and The Bar & Courtyard—are open to nonguests, as is the fabulous Valmont for The Spa at The Setai. The oceanfront gardens are lush and painstakingly manicured, and rooms are as expansive as the premises and furnished in an Asian style that is at once minimalist and cozy. The beach lounges and beachside service are pure bliss.

This upscale hilltop getaway offers the intimacy of a countryside inn with common amenities normally only found in larger hotels, including a gym and a games room. Rooms are spacious, and modernly furnished, and many have deep soaking tubs and sweeping views out over the countryside. An included breakfast is delivered to each guest daily, and staff are happy to cater to dietary requests with advanced notice. 

This luxe collection of seven buildings and flower-filled gardens on a bluff overlooking Monterey Bay includes the main mansion, built in 1886, a carriage house, guesthouse, and beach house. Every room has ocean and garden views, sumptuous yet comfortable furnishings, and a full bath. Some have stained-glass windows and gas or electric fireplaces.

For a blast from the past, stay in one of the funky vintage aluminum trailers at this trailer park south of town, where accommodations range from a 1947 "Tiki Bus" to a 1951 33-foot Royal Mansion. The entire collection is decked out in midcentury style, including vintage magazines, coffee percolators, and vinyl records. Most units have small bathrooms, but only a few have private showers; the park restrooms are clean, with hot showers.

A white picket fence and lovely gardens surround a Victorian hotel that's been operating continuously since it opened in 1896, and today it offers distinctly decorated rooms full of fresh flowers, handsome antiques, fine-art prints, wrought-iron beds, and vintage wardrobes. Some rooms have classic clawfoot tubs and either shared or private balconies. The Shelburne Pub has a dark wooden interior and a contemporary Pacific Northwestern menu focused heavily on seafood. Homemade pastries and specialty desserts feature fresh local ingredients.

The 16-story art-deco hotel, connected to the convention center by an enclosed walkway, showcases Miss America Pageant memorabilia in display windows. A grand circular staircase leads to the Miss America–themed Shoe Bar as well as restaurants and meeting rooms. Step outside and you're on The Walk, a group of outlet stores connected by a brick path. Standard rooms are understated and bathed in earth-tones. Club rooms and suites are available with both city and bay views.

The Sheraton is a sprawling resort with lodging that offers views of the ocean or lovely landscaped gardens; it's worth splurging on the ocean-wing hotel rooms, which are so close to the water you can practically feel the spray of the surf as it hits the rocks below. By day, the real fun comes from renting a cabana, complete with a love seat, lounge chairs, side tables, a TV, and a ceiling fan; by night, relax under the stars by one of the firepits. RumFire restaurant on the point has panoramic ocean views, there's an oceanfront luau twice a week, and Lava's by the beach has daily specials and desserts brought in from Ko Bakery. Villa units have kitchenettes and laundry machines, and are within walking distance of many restaurants and shops.

Set among dense gardens on Kaanapali's best stretch of beach, the Sheraton offers a quieter, more low-key atmosphere than its neighboring resorts, and it sits near Puu Kekaa, the site of a nightly torch-lighting and cliff-diving ritual. All rooms have plenty of amenities, including 50-inch flat-screen TVs; the massive swimming pool resembles a natural lagoon, with rock waterways and wooden bridges; and the Spa at Black Rock offers oceanfront services. Dining options range from casual poolside drinks and light fare to upscale Japanese and farm-to-table cuisine. The lobby lounge bar has incredible property and ocean views. The newer Moana Oceanfront Wing sits atop Puu Kekaa and offers a more exclusive, adults-preferred resort experience.

Stylish and modern, this hotel at the entrance to Sundial Bridge and Turtle Bay Exploration Park makes a great, family-friendly base for visiting Lassen, Whiskeytown, and other area attractions. Mosaic Restaurant serves California-inspired cuisine and has seating on a spacious patio. The large outdoor pool is an inviting place to cool off on a hot summer day.

This bustling high-rise is one of Steamboat's few ski-in ski-out properties; the amenities are classic resort-town, with a ski shop, golf course, an outdoor heated pool, and four rooftop hot tubs with sweeping views of the surrounding ski slopes. The public areas offer you cozy hangout "pods," including a comfortable area for Wi-Fi users and a game room with billiards and oversized chess and checkers tables. Rooms have green accents and hip furnishings, and the hotel has added one- to three-bedroom condos and two- and three-bedroom villas.

Towering over its neighbors along the beachfront, this big, busy hotel offers stunning views from most of its modern rooms, which received a major renovation completed in 2023 that features neutral shades with splashes of color. On-site amenities are plentiful and include one of Oahu's largest ballrooms, shops, and even a walk-in health clinic. The Helumoa Playground, with two swimming pools and a 70-foot waterslide, is a kid magnet, while the Edge of Waikiki infinity pool is a more subdued, adults-only swimming and lounging destination. Order a stellar cocktail and a bite to eat from the local-style pupu menu at RumFire, an oceanfront watering hole, or grab a drink at the relaxing Edge Bar and toast the sunset.

Nestled among two acres of pine trees a ½ mile uphill from Route 66, this upscale B&B has decks with good views and a flagstone patio with a hot tub. Decorated with simple, Asian-inspired furnishings, rooms all have king beds, flat-screen TVs, and luxurious bathrooms. Hearty breakfasts—including eggs and British-style sausages—will ready you for the hour-long drive to the canyon. Gracious hosts Claire and Nick, originally from the United Kingdom, gladly help guests plan itineraries.

Rustic furniture and beds swathed in mosquito netting are a nod to Old Florida at this 11-story beachfront resort, but there's nothing rustic about the amenities, including a luxury four-poster bed, doorless Italian marble showers, and a 42-inch plasma TV in every room. Rooms are spacious and have views of either the ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway. The Indonesian-inspired spa, Indulge, and the Azure restaurant and bar also overlook the ocean.

Set right on the sand, this Cape Cod--inspired inn has become synonymous with staycations, with the beachfront location and show-house decor making it one of SoCal's most popular luxury hotels. There are three dreamy dining and entertaining options: The flagship 1 Pico restaurant has launched a refreshed menu under Chef Sean Runyon; come for the blue fin toro steak and stay for the salted caramel popcorn sundae. Prefer something more casual? The Living Room has couches, live entertainment, and spectacular sunset views. Or you can dine beachside at Coast and watch the world go by. The cozy lobby evokes a New England getaway, with a fireplace and tall windows opening out to the Pacific Ocean. Guest rooms have those namesake shutter doors, pillow-top mattresses, small balconies, and built-in cabinets filled with art books and curios. Bathrooms are luxe, each with a deep whirlpool tub, a raft of bath goodies, and a three-nozzle, glass-walled shower. But if you want a more immersive experience, there's also the ONE spa and fitness center. Check out the picture-perfect cabanas in the ocean-view pool area. A $55 daily resort fee includes a welcome drink, daily yoga on the beach, bicycle rentals, a beach concierge, a house car, and more.

This elegant property led the way for the small but impressive upward trend in lodging in T or C. In a compact 1937 building in the heart of town, this inn feels like a secluded retreat because of the massive walls and boulders surrounding its mission-style exterior. The simple, tasteful rooms have hardwood floors and serene prints on the walls; some have grand jetted tubs, though their open location adjacent to the sleeping areas may not appeal to everyone. Bathrooms are well-appointed, and many have extra-large showers. Guests can soak in an outdoor or indoor kiva-style hot tub swirling with steamy water from natural, underground hot springs; massages, facials, and other holistic body therapies are available by appointment in the spa. Breakfasts are delicious and are made with mostly local ingredients. The lodge is within easy walking distance of several restaurants.

The main building of this lodge on Jackson Lake's southern shoreline has a cozy lounge and a grand pine deck overlooking the lake; stay in a traditional lodge room or a rustic cabin, some with sleek kitchens. The smaller log cabins are in shaded areas, and eight of them have fireplaces. Rooms 151 to 178 have lake views, and there are a handful of suite and bungalow options.

The three towers that comprise this spacious and well-appointed luxury resort adjacent to the MGM Grand are perhaps most notable for what they lack: a casino. Instead, developers have stockpiled modern junior, one- and two-bedroom suites with amenities such as whirlpool spa tubs, HD flat-screen televisions, two-line telephones, and open-air balconies. Business travelers will appreciate the huge desks and free Wi-Fi. With a secluded, gated entrance, the Signature also offers something even more unusual in Sin City—privacy.

Opened in 2021 in the city's dynamic and newly developed waterfront neighborhood just south of Point Defiance Park, this upscale mid-rise with spacious contemporary rooms and an excellent restaurant offers seaside relaxation and views yet proximity to a large city. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, wet bars, and large walk-in showers. Copper & Salt Northwest Kitchen serves well-crafted regional fare, and Spa Serein offers a full slate of soothing body treatments. Don't confuse this property with the older, but still quite nice, Silver Cloud Hotel Tacoma Waterfront, which is a couple of miles southeast, closer to downtown.

Tacoma's lone waterfront hotel juts out into the bay along picturesque Ruston Way and the historic Old Town. Contemporary rooms and even swankier suites with plush carpets, overstuffed chairs, cozy fireplaces, and corner hot tubs look out over Commencement Bay and the boardwalk marina area. Aside from glossy bay vistas, rooms have microwaves, refrigerators, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, and Aveda bath products.

Conveniently located in Juneau's historic downtown, the Silverbow has contemporary, charming hotel rooms on two upper levels. Four rooms are tiny, but they're comfortable, and all rooms have flat-screen televisions and homey touches such as rubber duckies for the tubs. Guests stroll downstairs each morning for a filling breakfast, and there's a delightful Italian restaurant, In Bocca Al Lupo, within the same building.

If you're a fan of traditional bed-and-breakfast inns, this property, with its beautifully appointed Victorian main house and acre of lush gardens, is for you. If privacy and luxury are your priority, choose one of the elegant cottages or a room in the century-old barn; each has a wood-burning fireplace and luxurious bedding; several also have whirlpool baths. In-room massages and other spa services are available.

A remarkable Relais & Châteaux property a block north of Healdsburg Plaza, SingleThread is the creation of husband-and-wife team Kyle and Katina Connaughton, who operate the ground-floor destination restaurant and the four guest rooms and a suite above it. Influencing the couple's approach at both is the Japanese concept of omotenashi, often translated as "selfless hospitality." All the accommodations have gas fireplaces, 14-foot exposed redwood-beamed ceilings, and wet bars with European coffeemakers and tea kettles. Heated tile floors, roomy rain showers, marble-trimmed deep soaking tubs (except in one room), and automated Japanese toilets (heated seat, of course) count among the luxurious touches in the spacious bathrooms, done mostly in calming whites and off-whites. Room rates include a thoughtfully conceived multicourse breakfast.

This warm, woodsy lodge on an expansive, verdant swath of forest and meadows impresses with a multitude of windows overlooking the surrounding mountains and Gorge, an outstanding array of recreational facilities, and handsome, Pacific Northwest–chic accommodations, many with fireplaces and all with views. The upscale-rustic interior features Montana-slate tiles, Native American artwork, and an immense wood-burning fireplace. "Skamania" is the Chinook word for "swift water," and the lodge's 175 acres are just a stone's throw from the Columbia River. Facilities include a well-respected 18-hole golf course, 4 miles of hiking trails, a large indoor pool, a 1-mile fitness loop, a grass volleyball court, outdoor tennis court, and a dramatic zip line course with commanding views of the Gorge. Staff will pack you a lunch if you're going out for the day. The Waterleaf Spa and Fitness Center offers a full slate of soothing treatments, and the resort's two restaurants offer some of the top dining experiences in the region.

In a dramatic, New Mexico adobe–style building, this upscale inn with spacious rooms and lots of big windows is 5 miles west of town—at the mouth of a canyon on the edge of the national monument—and has hikes right outside its door, as well as hosts who are happy to provide guidance on regional treks. Most rooms are in the main inn, with a few others in neighboring buildings, and some have private exterior entrances. Rates include a delicious full breakfast, and several units have kitchenettes or kitchens. The three-bedroom log cabin is a great option for larger families and groups but comes with extra charges for breakfast and cleaning. The Inn's North Creek Grill, open seasonally for dinner Wednesday through Sunday, is popular for its wood-fired pizzas and scenic patio dining.

Just a block from the town square, the family-owned Smith House has been serving guests in its inn and family-style restaurant for generations. The inn offers traditional hotel-style rooms in its 1899 historic inn and in a new building just added in 2019. There are also nearby villas with balconies that overlook the square and two houses for those who require a bit more space. Lunch and dinner are available at its popular Southern-style restaurant. During remodeling years ago a gold mine was found 30 feet under the property. Part of a shaft was left uncovered and provides a glimpse into the "underbelly" of the historic property.

With a water playground for summer fun and just about every winter activity imaginable, including the new 26,000-square-foot indoor "FunZone 2.0," this resort is ideal for families; nightly rates include lift tickets, lessons, and all resort amenities. Lodging is in five clustered condominium "communities," away from the resort's noisier areas.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Snowbird Mountain Lodge is everything you expect from a rustic inn, with two massive stone fireplaces, solid chestnut beams across the ceiling, and beautiful views across the valley. All 15 rooms in the main lodge are paneled in different woods cut on the property, and newer rooms in adjacent buildings have private hot tubs with horizon views. The restaurant, now open to the public, serves dishes like fresh mountain trout with couscous and sautéed summer squash, and the wine list is the size of a small telephone directory. The property changed hands in 2022 and expansion plans are in place. 

The level of luxury that's commonplace in Park City (along with the lofty prices to go with it), arrived in Alta in 2019 with the opening of this ultraposh slopeside retreat built using timber and stone from the original lodge on the site, and featuring a glamorous full-service spa with a heated outdoor pool, a swanky restaurant and hip gastropub, and stylishly kitted rooms and suites, many with mountain-view balconies.

In honor of Alta's ski-bum heritage, Snowpine has 19 economical dorm-style bunk rooms with shared bath facilities—but they book up fast.

The finest room in this pastoral inn's main gambrel-roof house (built in 1916) has 12 windows that look out over the Presidential Range, and many guest rooms—some in a carriage house and a new outbuilding—have fireplaces. The inn is set down a quiet lane on the eastern edge of the White Mountains and Lakes Region, a short drive from Maine's famous Stone Mountain Arts Center. Max's Restaurant serves a seasonal dinner menu of sophisticated local fare with international flavors.

This quirky, bargain-priced boutique hotel with simple, stylish, and affordable rooms and a gorgeous roof deck is just steps from Old Town nightlife and Lan Su Chinese Garden, and occupies an 1880s former boardinghouse for sailors. The cozy standard rooms with or without private baths have functional blond-wood furniture, white linens, and plenty of cleverly designed storage features, while a common hostel-style room with a common space and kitchenette offers comfortable, well-designed bunk beds for around $55 nightly. Society also has a beautiful hotel out in the Columbia Gorge.
