1102 Best Hotels in USA

Every plush suite in this converted late-19th-century mill has a geographic theme—the Normandy is outfitted with rustic country French prints and furniture, while Moroccan, Danish, and New Mexican motifs are among the designs in other units—and each sitting room–bedroom combo has its own entrance, a full kitchen or kitchenette, and a deck amid stunning gardens and just inches from burbling Ashland Creek. Privacy, space, high-concept elegance, and dynamite breakfasts served in an understated central dining room make this well-run place an alternative to up-close-and-personal traditional bed-and-breakfasts.

Dramatically perched above serene Northeast Harbor, this vestige of the Gilded Age has played host to the likes of Astors, Vanderbilts, and Rockefellers since it was built in 1883. Destroyed by fire in 1899, the original inn was rebuilt in 1901, and a $28 million makeover, completed in the summer of 2025, not only restored the property to its former historic elegance, some might say it arguably surpassed it. The rooms, 17 spa suites, and 15 cottages are designed to mimic the surrounding coast and woods, in hues both deep and light, from bark and moss to pale pinks. The restaurant, Dahlia’s, has a dedicated following. As for the spectacular gardens that spill around the grounds and pool—filled with statues, lush hydrangeas, and pollinators galore—they're reason enough to warrant a stay.

Mount Pleasant's finest hotel sits on Charleston Harbor, so you can gaze at the city's skyline with your feet on this resort's sandy beach or from the waterfront pool. The Beach Club's spacious rooms all sport oversized balconies overlooking the pool and harbor. Grounds include a bocce court, life-size chessboard, and a private movie theater. The resort's original hotel, the adjacent Harborside, shares the grounds and includes an additional 125 rooms and the Estuary Spa. A lot goes on here, from splashy boat shows at the marina and wedding celebrations to summertime concerts on Friday evenings. Children can jump into the mini-mariners' program, and parents can learn to navigate a sailboat. A number of annual sailing events are held here, and the bar scene at the three on-site restaurants is fun. Get here via a 10-minute ride on the Charleston Water Taxi (bikes are welcome) or on a trolley that runs to the Market area.

Dotted with coral lounge chairs, umbrellas, and white-sand beaches, this contemporary resort looks as if it were carefully replicated from a retro-chic postcard. An annex of the larger Mediterranean-style The Boca Raton (but set on the downy sands rather than the Intracoastal Waterway), the casually elegant property has 210 rooms, ranging from 420-square-foot standards to 800-square-foot one-bedroom suites overlooking the Atlantic. The rooms and suites showcase a spectacular design featuring honed marble and cerused woods complemented by vibrant coral velvet accents. Each room features a wet bar complete with a water filtration system so you can refill your water bottle for on-the-go hydration, flat-panel TVs, plush bedding, Acqua di Parma bath products, complimentary beach bags and flip-flops, and—most important—easy access to the sand and sea. Guests can lounge by a trio of revamped swimming pools with cabanas and a bar, or linger with a cocktail and leisurely lunch in the on-site Marisol, or you can consult your personal concierge for suggestions. For a change of scenery, head back to the main complex of The Boca Raton (just a short ride away via free shuttle or water taxi) for other dining options, including the trendy Sadelle's.

Boston has plenty of landmarks, but none are as iconic as Boston Harbor Hotel thanks in part to its 80-foot-tall outdoor archway and rotunda that allow simultaneous city and harbor views. Known for stellar hospitality, the hotel offers a number of amenities for children and the guest rooms feature star amenities like Diptyque bath products, Frette linens, rainfall showers, and in-room tablets.

Boasting old-world luxury and service, the signature pink-stucco buildings fill the manicured grounds at the base of Cheyenne Mountain, where a pristine lake, fine dining, and a luxurious spa offer one of the state's most pampering experiences. The cottages hark back to the days when wealthy Easterners gathered in the Adirondacks to enjoy an unhurried lifestyle. If you're going to stay in the South Towers, where the rooms vary in size from snug to immense—request one with a lake-view balcony. In summer, families enjoy paddleboats and gather around the large infinity pool, which appears to flow into Cheyenne Lake. At the on-site spa, try a Ginger Lime sugar scrub or the Poultice massage, a deep, heated muscle treatment dating back to the 14th century. The tennis and pickleball instructors are excellent, and the championship golf courses (which are not open to public play) are among Colorado's best.

At the nexus of multiple lakes, rivers, and streams, this lodge makes a good base from which to fish—for rainbow or lake trout, arctic grayling, and, of course, salmon—and to visit the bear-viewing areas and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.

Near the Old State House museum in the heart of Little Rock, the Capital is appropriately dubbed the "Front Porch of Little Rock" because of the staff's commitment to authentic Southern hospitality—arriving here feels more like being welcomed into someone's home than checking into a corporate-owned hotel. The former office building was converted to a hotel in 1876 after a fire had destroyed much of downtown. Now complemented with modern conveniences and contemporary amenities (including a $2 million kitchen) it expresses the New South while still honoring its legacy as a haven for weary travelers, a ballroom for debutantes and brides, an office for multimillion-dollar business deals, and a stage for national political drama.
