As you enter the private courtyard set back from bustling Kendall Square, say "hello" to Celeste, a 25-foot-tall armillary sculpture that serves as a centerpiece surrounded by plush couches that fill up in the evenings for live music and cocktails. The hotel's extensive redesign (from lobby to guest rooms) was recently completed, taking inspiration from the academic and literary history of the neighborhood. The relaxing, paired down room decor directs more attention to staring out of the floor-to-ceiling windows for vast views of the Boston skyline, the courtyard, or the Charles River. Get out into city with the use of the hotel's bikes and kid-sized Micro Kickboard scooters (along with Nutcase helmets), or grab a workout in the 24/7 fitness center.

Carved into the cliff side 250 feet above the La Plata River and surrounded by distant mountains (on a clear day you can see Shiprock and the Chuskas), this man-made cave's exposed sandstone walls trace 70 million years of erosion history. Blasted out in the 1980s and '90s—and originally intended as a getaway office for a local geologist—the decor is generally modern, with a bit of a 1960s "conversation pit" feel. It's laid out like a home, with a fireplace in the den, full kitchen, and a rustic shower that trickles into a hot tub. Two terraces provide breathtaking views, and a trail on the cliff face runs some 70 vertical feet to the parking area. The cave accommodates up to six people and remains a temperate 72°F year-round. Book at least one month in advance. Note: Guests are instructed to stop at the manager's home to check in before going to the cave. Lindy Poole, the congenial manager, will accompany all visitors on their first time out—and fill them in on some of the antics it took to outfit the place.

An $11-million remodel in 2021 revamped this oceanfront luxury hotel, taking it from beach cottage to coastal modern with subdued colors, contemporary pieces, and an elevated vibe reminding you that you're in Del Mar.

Balconies face the ocean and pool where guests lounge in private cabanas. Active travelers can surf 15th Street (there's surfboard rental next door), hike neighboring Torrey Pines, or hop on one of the complimentary beach cruisers to explore historic Del Mar. For wellness by the sea, book a facial, wrap, or massage at the on-site spa, where treatments integrate seaweed extract and other nourishing marine-based minerals.

The former Hotel Monaco was purchased by Korea's Lotte hotel group, reopening in 2024 as the first American outpost of Lotte's L7 brand.

This exclusive, European-style hotel, originally the W. W. Fondren mansion, has lost some exterior charm due to the addition of a banquet facility, but the rooms, lounge, and restaurant nevertheless draw the rich and famous (and discreet). Genuine antiques, usually of dark wood with luxe brocade, do much to complete the Montrose hotel's old-world charm. The tiny but warm bar and a small library are both perfect spots for a cozy drink.

At this rambling motel-style property all the spacious rooms have private outdoor entrances, vaulted ceilings, gas fireplaces, refrigerators, and pleasant country-style furnishings; several have whirlpool baths.

The on-site Oyster & Thistle restaurant and pub is one of the top dining spots in town.

Chains have since taken over St. Augustine Beach, but this longtime favorite—the only remaining "Mom and Pop" on the beach—is still doing business (lots of it) and remains as beloved as ever. The location, just steps from the beach, helps, of course. But so do the inviting, consistently updated rooms, in-room continental breakfast delivery (you choose the time), private walkway to the beach, warm service, and reasonable rates. There are a wide variety of room types and locations (some with balconies and/or fireplaces), so it's best to call and make sure you get the room you want. For a special treat, book a room in the property's adults-only bed-and-breakfast, a short walk from the main building.
