1405 Best Hotels in USA

This smartly decorated boutique hotel is set inside a beautifully retrofitted former seafood-processing plant with an absolutely prime location on the Columbia River and Astoria's Riverwalk boardwalk and trolley line, and a swanky bar with Scandinavian-inspired food and craft cocktails. Part of the acclaimed Adrift Hospitality hotel group, which is based just across the river in Long Beach, Washington, the Bowline has a sleek, unfussy aesthetic. Many rooms have patios directly overlooking the river, along with such plush features as gas fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, and premium in-room coffee and tea.

The owner of two distinctive lodgings—the six-room Brannan Cottage Inn, whose centerpiece is an 1860s cottage from Calistoga's original spa era, and five lofts two blocks away—operates them jointly as the Brannan Hotels. Although the stained-oak floors, wainscoting, and retro bathroom fixtures of the inn’s guest rooms recall Victorian times, contemporary comfort is the goal: the beds have plush mattresses and high-thread-count sheets, and rooms are equipped with large flat-screen TVs, electronics charging stations, and espresso machines. Eco-friendly touches abound, most visibly in the LED lighting throughout the property. A tall palm, even taller twin cypresses, and an elm tree thought to be 300 years old shade the inn.

One of the Cape's most luxurious small resorts, this meticulously kept getaway comprises a beautifully restored main house—originally a sea captain's home built in 1828—and several other carefully groomed buildings and cottages all centered on a beautifully landscaped pool area.

As this has been a favorite for Ptown visitors for more than 55 years, with many repeat guests, it's wise to book early.

Boutique hospitality firm Casetta dusted off a hodgepodge of buildings—including an early-1900s adobe, a rare 1932 Olympic cottage, and a hacienda hotel once run by Buffalo Bill Cody's cousin, Harriet—to create the kind of exceptional lodging where you can easily lose track of time floating in one of two pools, eating fruit plucked off a property tree and sipping tea or coffee (available all day) in the bougainvillea-covered arcade, or watching sunlight and shadows crawl across the walls from your snuggly, never-want-to-leave bed. Studios, suites, and stand-alone casitas feature dark woods, Zellige tile, burnished metals, and rich colors like hunter green and burnt orange, which, when assembled just so, create a tailored, refined, farmhouse-meets-Santa-Fe-artist-studio vibe.

A retreat for the nation's wealthiest until the Great Depression put it out of business, it returned to its perch as St. Augustine's grande dame in 1999. The turrets, towers, and wrought-iron balconies offer a hint of what's inside. For a bit of pampering, head to the luxurious Poseidon spa.

After sitting vacant for more than 70 years and undergoing a painstaking restoration, this remarkable 1898 hotel—the first of the famed Fred Harvey company's railroad properties—reopened with 16 individually decorated rooms, a large and bustling high-ceilinged lobby, a convivial bar with a terrace, and a dapper dining room.

This retro motor lodge gone high design, with exterior-entry rooms and a '50s light-up motel sign that disguise a slick, boutique feel, commands a hilltop overlooking the Columbia River and Dalles Dam.
