This spot proves it's possible to find quiet, homey accommodation on Bourbon Street. These pleasantly furnished, and recently renovated rooms in the former slave quarters of an 1833 town house face a brick patio filled with tropical plants. One large two-room suite is in the main house, and all rooms have private entrances, kitchenettes, and ceiling fans.

The owners of the Bookhouse Hotel in Kennett Square transformed this former B&B in a handsome mid-19th-century Italianate brick house 1½ miles from downtown West Chester into a cozy retreat (with books and bookshelves throughout) that nicely mixes antiques, stylish modern furnishings, and updated bathrooms in the individually decorated rooms. Some rooms are larger than others (a couple have fireplaces), and the color schemes range from pastel hues to deeper colors; all but one (the Darlington Suite, named for the original owners) have a literary theme, like Jane's Room (for Jane Austen) and Alice's Suite (for Alice in Wonderland). The grand library and parlor rooms on the first floor provide elegant but comfortable places to relax, as do the wraparound porch and patio in the shady grounds. A refrigerator and microwave are shared by guests. Check-in and the concierge service are contactless, but the hotel team can be called or texted for assistance.   

Redwoods, Douglas firs, and palms supply shade and seclusion at this lushly landscaped resort ¾ mile north of downtown Guerneville. The pool and hot tub, both saline, and the on-site spa facilitate decompressing, but Main Street's bustle and dining options—including Boon Eat + Drink, under the same management—are easily accessible. The hotel provides complimentary orange bikes for rides into town, out to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, or over to wineries and river beaches. Most guest rooms surround the pool, but a few quieter ones lie toward the property's rear. Beyond them, and more peaceful still, are a vintage camper and, available in summer only, three tasteful tent rooms sitting atop wooden platforms.

Located right on the border between Nevada and Utah on Route 50, the Border Inn is a reliable staple, with air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, bar, grocery store, gas station, and small casino. Some of the rooms have kitchenettes.

Tasteful antiques and interesting books fill this vintage 1920s beach house, where rooms have balconies or decks with ocean views, a jetted spa tub sits in an enclosed glass-and-cedar gazebo that looks toward the ocean, and a private path leads through the dunes to the ocean and joining the Discovery Trail.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and oh-so-tasteful furnishings grace the Borgota's spacious standard rooms, where even the shower has room for two and the recently renovated MGM Tower is as close to Vegas as one can get on the East Coast (it even has a signature scent wafting through the common areas). Suites all have entertainment centers, wet bars, and bathrooms with deep tubs and his-and-her vanity sets. Spa Toccare is the biggest in Atlantic City at 54,000 square feet with a salon, barbershop, a hi-tech fitness center, and five pools. The 15 eateries include an outpost of New York City's Old Homestead steakhouse, Angeline by Michael Symon, and Noodles Of the World (N.O.W.).

This industrial-chic property just two subway stops from Manhattan has spacious rooms, balconies with skyline views, and downright huge bathrooms. What's more, the high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows are features not commonly found in Manhattan, especially at such a reasonable price. Catching the sunset behind the Manhattan cityscape—from the rooftop lounge or privacy of your room—is a real highlight. The lobby lounge has a fireplace and shelves stocked with books from the Strand. The all-day restaurant, Beebe's, serves new American dishes and thin-crust pizzas. While Long Island City is rapidly changing, Its location does feel a bit isolated.

Those looking for desert landscapes and some stargazing—guests must be 21 or older—may enjoy this self-check-in adobe Southwestern-style hotel that houses spacious rooms, which boast plenty of natural light, original art, pine beds, and corner fireplaces. Rooms also feature desert gardens of mesquite, ocotillo, and creosote right outside. Every room opens onto its own on the enclosed garden, which includes chaises, chairs, and a table. The high-desert hot tubs add a romantic touch, but the clothing-optional pool and self-check-in system (operating like an Airbnb) might not be for everyone. For more space, request the cozy casita.

Traveling businesspeople and families like the modern look and efficiency of this 26-story high-rise hotel in Kendall Square, mere steps from the subway and MIT. The guest rooms and suites are decorated in soothing neutrals with pops of color, and the Revive beds feature crisp white duvets and fluffier pillows. Book a room on one of the two concierge floors and score entrance into the exclusive M Club Lounge for complimentary breakfast, hors d'oeuvres, and a full bar.

It's busy-busy, with throngs of tourists and business travelers, but you can't beat the location of this 38-story megahotel, which sports three entrances—a street-level door, a glass sky bridge from the Prudential Center, and a walk-in from the Copley mall—ensuring that you rarely have to go outside to shop or eat, which is especially nice in winter. Rooms have the quintessential Marriott flavor with flat-screen TVs; the best ones are high up and overlook Boston Harbor or the Charles River. Experience an expansive 24-hour fitness center, indoor pool, and a brand new exclusive M Club for Marriott members. The on-site Yard House is great for casual eats and good beer.

Families favor this hotel for its proximity to the New England Aquarium, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, and the North End. In a building that somewhat resembles a docked ship (fitting for its Long Wharf location), guest rooms that open to a five-story atrium have harbor or park views, and the gorgeous enclosed swimming pool overlooks Boston Harbor.

Near historic Faneuil Hall, The Bostonian has guest rooms featuring Frette linens, pillow-top mattresses, and 40-inch TVs—many also have fireplaces and French doors with step-out balconies showcasing city views and the popular North End. Warmed up with red wall coverings, the lobby provides sofas and arm chairs, perfect for relaxing with a book chosen from one of the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. The hotel's restaurant, North 26, serves a little bit of everything. There's also a children's program for the tiny tots.

A National Register property built in 1912 in the American Foursquare style, Böttger Mansion offers thoughtfully refurbished rooms incorporating fine woodwork and other period details like a claw-foot tub, a lovely mural by the original owner's grandson, or a pressed-tin ceiling. The rooms are calm and classic, and each is dedicated to a person of particular import to Albuquerque history, from Erna Fergusson to Clyde Tingley; they all have the freshest linens and terry robes. A grassy courtyard provides an instant escape from the Old Town crowds. The two-course breakfast, which may be taken outdoors, might include stuffed French toast or a cheese soufflé. Resident cats on site (though they are allowed in public spaces only) means no guest pets.

Watch elk stroll past your spacious luxury suite at this smart, secluded spot on the river amid towering pines.

The hotel has a wood-beamed lobby with seating areas, as well as a laundromat.

Located down Hell's Backbone Road, about 7 miles from Boulder proper, this funky, eco-friendly, rustic ranch features cozy bunk rooms with shared baths for the budget minded, slightly more upscale standard rooms with private baths in the main lodge, warmly appointed cabins with private baths and kitchens, and distinctive yurts for fans of glamping. A ranch-style breakfast buffet is included in the rates in summer; packed lunches to go and sit-down dinners are served in the farm-to-table-inspired Sweetwater Cafe. On-site activities include trail rides, waterfall hikes, yoga, and bird-watching.

The story of how Station Casinos came to dominate the Las Vegas \"locals casino\" scene—and divide that dominance into regions—is exemplified by Boulder Station. It opened in early 1994, cementing what's now the Stations formula with its attached Regal movie theater, Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant, and The Broiler steak house for living-it-up occasions. The latest additions are Game On, which fuses a sports bar with the 24-hour coffee shop, and a six-outlet food court (replacing a buffet that never reopened after the pandemic). The unintended consequence of Station's corporate success is that Boulder Station is now extremely local, serving primarily the east side, and offering no real reason to cross town for those living closer to other Station properties. Some of the 299 rooms and suites have distant views of the Strip and downtown, and midweek room rates can dip well below $100.

This hotel's location is about as central as it gets, though the beautiful courtyard and pool provide welcome sanctuary from the loud, 24-hour Bourbon Street action just outside the door. Be sure to request one of the well-appointed, traditionally styled guest rooms that overlook the greenery and not the street. There are ergonomic office chairs and free in-room Wi-Fi, and some rooms have balconies. The lobby exudes turn-of-the-20th-century New Orleans glamour, and the Bourbon O bar is a classy place to people-watch over cocktails.

A new boutique, luxury property that opened in 2025, The Bower is a short walk to Coronado Beach and downtown, bringing the island its first rooftop bar and restaurant
called Dive. Rooms at this adult-focused property feature plush bedding and towels and luxury in-room amenities. There are free pastries and coffee for guests on each floor, each morning.

If bathing with the masses at the local hot springs is not your cup of tea, opt for a semiprivate plunge at this friendly lodge with a great location off the main drag and near the stream. Soak away your cares in four redwood tubs full of steaming water kept between 103°F and 108°F, all with terrific mountain views. The rooms are nondescript but clean and comfortable.

An iconic, vintage yellow cab is permanently parked outside this former door factory-turned-stylish hotel featuring not just rooms, but 40 suites that feel like stylish New York City apartments—complete with kitchens, living rooms, and homey touches like book-lined shelves.

This lovely boutique hotel in one of Boston's only flatiron buildings features a contemporary, industrial-chic look. As is typical for historic accommodations, rooms are small, but guests who score a junior suite get perks like extra space and really cool city views—these suites sit on the curve of the building. Cramped or not, the Boxer is a welcome oasis away from the cacophony of concert- and sporting-event crowds at nearby TD Garden, and it's an easy walk to Government Center, Faneuil Hall, and the North End.

Along the Santa Fe Trail, this guesthouse holds the title as Kansas's oldest private residence. Built in 1860 by Council Grove's first recorded physician, and later used as apartments, its 2007 remodel added modern amenities for the ultimate private homestay. There are three guest rooms, with access to common areas—gardens, living room, dining room, den with flat-screen television and satellite channels, and backyard seating. Renting the entire house also grants use of the indoor kitchen and outdoor barbecue-grill area.

Elegant and contemporary, this downtown inn has a spacious, Craftsman-style great room with warm tones and an inviting stone fireplace, and original artwork is on display throughout the property.

A gourmet full breakfast is included. Guests have access to a local fitness center—and bottled water, organic coffee and tea, soda, and snacks in the lobby.

On 20 wooded acres between the Chester River and the Chesapeake Bay, about 1 miles south of downtown Chestertown, this mid-19th-century inn, known for its gracious hospitality, still resembles the plantation house it once was. The brick building's entrance has a 3½-story walnut-and-ash staircase, pine floors, and plaster ceiling medallions. All of the spacious, well-appointed guest rooms have working fireplaces (but only lit October through April), and five have hot tubs. Classic movies, available from the innkeepers' private collection, can be viewed in the library, which also has an extensive supply of books. Rates include a full country breakfast and afternoon tea with homemade pastries.

On the second floor of a refurbished 1920s building, these light-filled lofts that debuted in 2024 position guests in the middle of downtown Calistoga’s retail, dining, and wine-tasting action. As with the affiliated Brannan Cottage Inn two blocks away (the properties are run jointly as the Brannan Hotels), upscale comfort is the goal, achieved here via custom contemporary furnishings, up-to-the-moment electronics, flat-screen smart TVs, espresso machines, and bathrooms with rain showers and heated floors and toilets. Four lofts have kitchenettes with induction cooktops. With contactless check-in, keyless rooms, and no front desk, the experience resembles an Airbnb more than a boutique hotel, though the GM and other staffers are nearby at the inn, whose café provides a complimentary breakfast for patrons booking directly through the website or by phone.

For upscale, lodge-style accommodations in a serene mountain setting, this resort is a great option. The stone fireplace in the lobby is an impressive 70 feet high. The rooms, some with fireplaces and balconies overlooking the valley, are comfortable and spacious. For dining, there are two restaurants and a lobby bar. The Friday evening seafood buffet and elaborate Sunday brunch buffets are especially popular. Brasstown's full-service luxury spa, Equani Spa, is just outside the property. The resort also features a variety of sports activities like golf and horseback riding—making it a perfect family destination or couples retreat.

One of Austin’s most impressive 1880s Victorian homes provides an excellent base for travelers just west of downtown. It’s a historic and quiet neighborhood, just a short drive from nearby hubs like downtown's Whole Foods and West Sixth Street's bars. Interiors are exceptionally well restored, featuring hardwood floors, bay windows, and high ceilings. The two-room Fitzgerald suite is a guest favorite. Breakfasts are served buffet-style, with a wider range of dishes on weekends. Several local restaurants, shops, and a neighborhood park in Clarksville are within walking distance.

With a homey atmosphere and a vintage vibe, this small, low-rise complex—two blocks from the beach and close to the Waikiki Beach Walk entertainment, dining, and retail complex—transports its guests back to 1960s-era Hawaii. Six two-story, ranch-style buildings overlook flower-filled gardens and surround the pool area, which is also home to Wasabi Bistro, a popular Japanese restaurant. Although rooms are dated (and have bathrooms with showers only), they do have kitchenettes, as well as intriguing, Japanese-style shoji doors that open to the lanai.
