A continual stream of global celebrities have arrived by private aircraft on the airstrip at this luxury ranch. It was converted from a military fort by a 19th-century cattle baron and occupies 30,000 acres of a volcanic caldera cupped by the Chinati and Cienega mountains. You'll be welcomed as a friend and relax in one of three 1800s-era forts, each at a different site, but all beautifully restored. Everything here is first-class, authentic, and memorable, including meals featuring international flavors based on ancient Mexican culinary traditions. You can choose the pace for your activities: ride a horse or read a book; jump in a Humvee or slide back under the covers; go bird hunting or bird-watching.

A sedate 1882 French Second Empire–style hotel, the Cincinnatian offers contemporary elegance along with gracious personal service. The marble-and-walnut staircase is original, and ornate furniture and fine linens fill the spacious rooms. You can have afternoon tea or dine in the Palace Restaurant. It's not the largest hotel in Cincinnati, but it is the best.

Located in the heart of Mid-Beach, this stylish yet affordable boutique hotel has tropical-inspired rooms, as well as a pool and sun deck complete with cabanas and umbrella-shaded chaises that invite all-day lounging. Beyond the pool is a cute bar with board games and a daily happy hour. Rooms have wooden floors; white plantation shutters; teak and white furnishings; and pops of orange, green, and blue. Walk through the small, welcoming lobby filled with rattan furniture and stroll out to the WunderGarden, where you can relax in swing chairs among palm trees and orchids. Have a cocktail and refresh among the greenery or at in-house restaurant Jules Kitchen, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. The name Circa 39? It was built in 1939 and is on 39th Street.

Although there's nothing fancy about this low-slung adobe motel on the edge of downtown Escalante, the simple rooms have all the basics you need for a comfortable night or two—microwaves, fridges, coffeemakers, HDTVs, climate control—and one larger suite with a kitchenette sleeps six. In the evenings, guest gather around the shared firepit.

Located in the heart of the badlands, this B&B on a working cattle ranch has spectacular views. Rooms have big beds and en suite baths and kitchens, and there's free Wi-Fi throughout the property. In the morning a full ranch breakfast (generally a hearty meal of eggs, meat, potatoes, toast, and coffee) is served. A fireplace in the common area warms up visitors on cool evenings. A tree-house cabin and eight guest rooms complement the original 1880 homestead camping cabin.

Rimmed by giant sycamore, ash, and cottonwood trees and surrounded by the Patagonia–Sonoita Creek Preserve, this seasonal guest ranch with plenty of activities served as a setting in the movie Red River and in several episodes of Gunsmoke. Rooms in the adobe-style buildings have hardwood floors, area rugs, and antique Monterey pine chests. Riders from beginner through advanced can be accommodated on adventurous, scenic trails along the creek and up into the gorgeous rolling hills. All meals, riding, and amenities are included (rates are lowered if you opt not to ride).

The rooms at the hotel at the \"Big Top\" are periodically renovated, giving some much-needed TLC to some of the oldest ones on the Strip (the resort opened in 1968). Other accommodations on the property range from luxury (in the Skyrise Tower, which includes its own casino) to campsites; the RV Park at Circus Circus, which has a children's play area, pet run, and seasonal pool and hot tub, is the only one on the Strip. In the casino, gaming is nothing if not affordable; in addition to rock-bottom table limits and 1-cent to 25-dollar slot machines, dealers offer complimentary lessons in blackjack, roulette, and craps. There are even more machines, and an adults-only arcade, in the adjacent Slots-a-Fun. Still, the biggest draw at this hulking resort is the Adventuredome Theme Park, Nevada's largest, featuring more than 25 rides and attractions. The Midway at Circus Circus holds a world record as the world's largest permanent circus.

This boutique hotel within the historic 1926 Cal Western Life building is dapper and refined, with marble stairs, striped wallpaper, and plush velvet chairs, lending the place a Roaring '20s charm. It's a favorite overnight roost among visiting politicians, business leaders, and celebs. Request a room on a higher floor—the view of Downtown Sacramento is impressive. The upscale-contemporary Grange Restaurant & Bar draws plenty of locals in addition to hotel guests.

European sensibility, a youthful vibe, reasonable rates, and a safe Union Square location make this art-filled hotel a smart and popular choice, and though rooms are compact---with in-room sinks; oval, glass-walled shower/WC pods; and king-size beds that run literally wall to wall---smart organization helps offset the size, as do the lobby's large and colorful Living Room and bar. 

The first location of this Dutch hotel to land on the West Coast wears its design-forward mindset on the facade, adorned with a mural by local Native American artist Jeffrey Veregge. Cool, high-tech, and full of amenities, the hotel works well for the kind of young, connected people it aims to attract. Co-working spaces, art, and a 24/7 canteen fill the huge lobby, and a phone app operates everything from check-in to the room lights. 

Boston's citizenM keeps the jet-setting budget-minded traveler in mind. The hotel's vibe is bold, contemporary, and colorful, and the rooms are small, but well designed to maximize space and accommodate the comfy, extra-king-sized bed. Life, work, and play mixes in communal spaces—including an outdoor terrace with stunning views—where one can surf news stories or take a meeting. A shared kitchen, bar and snack outpost is open all day, every day.

This renovated, classic 1950s-era motel gives you exactly what is promised: simple, clean rooms with modern touches of style and functionality, right in the middle of downtown Missoula.

Rooms at the City Club are bright, basic, and rather compact—like cabins on an ocean liner—and have city-themed photos from the '50s, CO Bigelow toiletries, and hotel-monogrammed wool blankets. There's no bar on-site, nor a gym, but guests who book directly through the hotel receive free access to a nearby Blink Fitness.

It looks like a hole-in-the-wall, but this hostel is a clean, comfortable oasis—in the heart of the bustling H Street Corridor and near public transit—that's perfect for backpackers and other cost-conscious travelers. It has several private rooms and a host of mixed-dorm bunking options with from 4 to 12 beds. Bathrooms, in all cases, are shared. The amenities are generous, including free linens and towels, free Wi-Fi, and a game room and movie library. 

This 1960s-era motel was cleverly transformed by its hip owners to reflect their minimalist style. The central location in the heart of downtown Beaufort is ideal for exploring this charming town. The California-queen-size beds have a stash of plush pillows, fine linens, and fluffy duvets, and bathrooms are chic, with soaking tubs, separate rain showers, and high-quality toiletries. You can get breakfast or lunch delivered from the gourmet coffee shop on the first floor, and there are bottles of wine for sale. Request a second-floor room, as you are less likely to hear guests drive away early in the morning.

Housed in a former 19th-century grist mill, this newly-opened boutique hotel on the banks of Chattahoochee River features comfortable rooms and an on-site restaurant with breathtaking riverfront views—original brick walls, ironwork and wood beams are incorporated into the design of the public spaces and rooms, creating warmth and a sense of history. Rooms feature all the creature comforts you’d expect, plus a Nespresso machine and luxurious rain shower system. A free continental breakfast with fresh baked pastries is offered each morning. 

Travelers love this hotel for its residential feel and location beyond the downtown tourist areas. The rooms boast a bright, vibrant color scheme with art deco accents, and  (per the "Suites" in the name) most have separate sitting areas with pullout couches. The hotel's proximity to the 'L' train, however, is both a blessing and a curse; you'll have easy access to downtown and the North Side, but with the 'L' being a 24-hour service, train noise might be a pain at night. Amenities include tea and coffee all day, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary passes to a nearby health club.

If you’re visiting Shepherdstown for a convention or a training, it’s likely that you’ll end up at the Clairon Hotel, either to stay or to attend meetings.

Other nearby attractions include the Antietam Battlefield 5 miles to the north, historic Harper's Ferry 15 miles east, and the Charlestown Racetrack 15 miles northeast of the hotel.

This 18-floor Marriott-affiliated hotel is arguably the best of the few mid-range hotels in SoMa. Guest rooms have a subtle glamorous touch with catchy black-and-white carpets and tufted headboards. There is also a unique set of allergy-free rooms that come with an air purifier and special hypoallergenic bedding and pillows. The public areas are particularly noteworthy with colorful San Francisco–inspired art pieces, plus an outdoor courtyard with fire pits that is a rare breath of fresh air in the dense downtown area.

This 6-acre seaside luxury resort boasts the flagship clapboard three-story 1884 inn with wondrous views of Somes Sound from the wide porch, two historic former summer residences with guest rooms and suites, L.L. Bean-vibe cottages and cabins (kitchens or kitchenettes), and two rental homes. Amenities abound including a sea-view heated pool, a dock, a croquet court, a swank game room, a "farm" garden, courtesy bikes, yoga and mixology classes, and with fees, a spa, cabanas, guided hikes, and private charters.

The brick four-story chain hotel overlooks Lake Erie's Chadwick Bay. Rooms are standard, with contemporary furniture; some have in-room whirlpool tubs. In the Windjammer's restaurant, a boat wheel, a fish tank, and huge windows overlooking the marina create a nautical theme. Menu options include Delmonico steak, salmon, and chicken Alfredo.

Close to the airport and major highways, the hotel is a good in-between spot for exploring New Castle and Wilmington. There's a restaurant and bar on-site, and banquet facilities for up to 450 people.

This reasonably priced property comprises a few two-story clapboard buildings perched on a bluff overlooking the ocean and Fogarty Creek State Park, and amenities include a seafood restaurant and lounge, indoor pool, and exercise room. Part of the Choice Hotels brand, the hotel has pleasant if perfunctory rooms, and some have whirlpool baths and gas fireplaces; the big plus is that most of them have balconies with expansive sea views.

These once-functional grain silos are one of the more memorable—and popular—accommodation options in the Kalispell area. Located on an 80-acre, third-generation family farm, these beautifully designed units offer loft bedrooms, full kitchenettes, and stunning mountain views. 

Stepping off the ferry at Ocean Beach, you practically fall into Clegg's Hotel, in the center of town and a five-minute walk from the beach, and this is authentic, no-frills Fire Island. Fashioned after a sailors' rooming house, it has the feel of a college residence, but details like a flower painted on each door—done 20 years ago by a now locally famous artist—give it a touch of charm. Rooms are basic and clean; studios have water or garden views and private bathrooms, and regular rooms face the garden and share four bathrooms. Owner Tyler Streck takes pride in his place, started by his grandfather Eugene "Gene" Clegg in 1946, and welcomes guests like family. He provides bikes, beach gear and board games and avoids having TVs or clocks in the rooms to encourage carefree bonding time.

Palo Alto doesn’t exactly strike travelers as an all-inclusive luxury getaway like Cancún, but that’s what this impeccable hotel offers. Located just on the other side of the Caltrain tracks from the heart of University Avenue, the suites and amenities really are quite striking. Drinks, meals, and a personal concierge are all included, as is valet parking and twice-a-day housekeeping. All suites have living rooms, giant streaming flat-screen TVs, lovely Matouk linens, and bathrooms featuring soaking tubs and rain shower heads.

Almost all of the rooms at this nine-story hotel are designed for business travelers and have work stations. It's 3 mi from the airport and 7 mi from Downtown. All rooms are no-smoking.

Attached to Key Tower, the tallest building in Cleveland, this hotel faces the historic Mall "C" and abuts Public Square. Plush accommodations have fantastic views of Lake Erie and the downtown skyline. The rooms are neat and spacious, but the real star is Key Tower. At 948 feet, it's the tallest building between New York and Chicago. All rooms are no-smoking; a 2006 renovation brought new flat-screen TVs, wired and wireless Internet, upgraded bedding, and new bathroom tile and fixtures.

A classic antebellum-style hotel in the heart of town, the Clewiston Inn was built in 1938 to impress visiting businessmen and dignitaries; the cypress-paneled lobby, wood-burning fireplace, Colonial Dining Room, and Everglades Lounge with a wraparound Everglades mural are standouts. The 40 standard rooms, four suites, and eight efficiency apartments are furnished with pieces representative of the 1930s and 1940s with some more modern accents thrown in. Rates include a continental breakfast. There's a public pool across the street.

This Victorian-era jewel was built in 1873 as a stagecoach stop between Colorado Springs and Leadville, and can name crown princes, presidents, and entertainers as past guests; their names live on as monikers for several distinctly different and extremely attractive suites: the Katharine Bates, the Teddy Roosevelt, and the Clark Gable are a few. The Cliff House is a special-occasion getaway plump with accoutrements that pamper: bathtubs for two, steam showers, and even heated towel racks and toilet seats. It's right off the main street, a two-minute walk from shops and restaurants. In addition to the more formal dining room, there's the casual Red Mountain Bar and Grill.
