Baltimore's historic landmark hotel, the Lord Baltimore extends its Jazz Age elegance to the guest rooms. Built in 1928, this 23-story hotel is distinguished by an elegantly gilded art deco lobby with Murano glass chandelier and contemporary artwork. Upstairs, each of the recently updated 440 rooms feature dark wood accents and a gray color palette. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, 40" flat-screen TV, pillow-top mattress, and down comforter. Rooms on the south side have the best view, and from the top three floors you can see the harbor. The hotel is quiet and comfortable, and the location is central, three blocks from the Baltimore Convention Center or Harborplace. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

If you want to be in the midst of the shops and not far from the harbor, this handsome Main Street brick building with bright blue-and-white awnings is the perfect choice. Although it's not on the water, the inn offers many guest rooms with full or partial harbor views. The colorful interior is furnished with restored antiques and paintings by local artists, both in guest rooms and in the lobby. Dogs welcome.

The Loren at Lady Bird Lake offers one of the most unique vantage points of downtown—with a panoramic view of the city skyline from the lake's less-populated southern shore. It's steps away from the hike-and-bike trail, and many guest rooms directly overlook the Lamar pedestrian bridge, which  always teems with activity. Special occasions are celebrated here, from long anniversary staycations to prom dates taking photos on the stunning rooftop patio at the NIDO restaurant. World-class art, from the hotel's striking architectural design to large-scale sculptures and decor carefully curated throughout the property, elevates the entire experience. The city is right at your fingertips here, and a helpful 24-hour concierge can help arrange any kind of downtown or Lady Bird Lake excursion, from paddle-board rentals to boat tours. 

Combining a Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites, this spot draws large groups away from the crowded peninsula to its modern complex set tucked into a pine forest just off I-26. Suites feature full-size fridges, views of the woods, and handsome, modern decor. The large outdoor pool and cabanas are a perk for families and summertime visitors, and a nature trail winds from the parking lot through the adjacent wetlands.

Steps from Madison Avenue shopping and a block from Central Park, this old-money refuge on a leafy residential block started in 1927 and it still delivers genteel sophistication and pampering service in an unbeatable location. In fact, the 74-room hotel is one of a few remaining family-owned properties in the city, and is a member of Leading Hotels of the World. The lobby is small, but spacious guest rooms have all the civilized comforts of home, including stocked bookshelves and luxe bathrooms. Thirty-three of the rooms—all decorated in different themes—have working wood-burning fireplaces, while 14 accommodations have private terraces. Many suites feature Apple computers and iPads, and the New York Times and other major newspapers are delivered to the room. The elegant Pembroke Room is a guest-only breakfast and weekend brunch area and it's also available for pre-theater dinner. The Club Room lounge is for guests too. Other appealing on-site facilities are Majorelle, a well-regarded French-Mediterranean restaurant that has an afternoon tea service; and Jacques, a cocktail bar with a limited bar menu and lunch service. The restaurant and bar are open to the public as well as to guests.

If you like Hawaiiana and appreciate a bit of kitsch in your decor, this welcoming hotel with both rooms and condo units is a great option.

Perks include free beach gear and bikes and a Manager's Reception (4–5 pm) with complimentary wine and cheese periodically during the week. The recreational deck features an updated fitness center, a heated swimming pool, and a barbecue area. A comfortable mezzanine lounge and a coin-operated laundry room round out the on-site facilities. Shops and restaurants are a short walk away. 

While updated and refreshed guest rooms don't—and maybe just can't—live up to the sophisticated and gorgeous exterior of this 1904 landmark building, they are clean, comfortable, and calm, and best of all convenient to the American Museum of Natural History and Central Park just a few blocks away. Standard rooms are small and decorated with dark-wood traditional furniture and neutral color schemes. Downstairs, the bistro Nice Matin is a popular draw (ask about a guest discount). The upscale residential neighborhood has an impressive array of boutiques and gourmet-food shops, including the nearby Zabar's.

Located just over a block away from Oracle Park, the second-ever location of this emerging boutique hotel brand is the first hotel in rapidly growing Mission Bay. The hotel's flagship features are the stunning rooftop bar, Cavaña, and an in-room food delivery robot named Henry. However, the rooms and amenities themselves are well worth a stay on their own, nicely balancing sharp modern design with a refined touch. Frette bedding, robes, and slippers ensure a comfortable evening; guests will also enjoy a number of thoughtful amenities like handheld garment steamers, an expansive work desk, and motorized window shades that truly block out sunlight. Above all, travelers will be thankful that this is that increasing rarity in the hotel world these days—there is no destination or resort fee.

Tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street, this stylish Kimpton property makes for a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the city.

Built in the early 20th century a block from still very active train tracks (rooms are equipped with ear plugs), this friendly and slightly quirky 10-room boutique hotel is a well-situated and affordable base for exploring the many exceptional wineries between Lyle and Maryhill. Some of the cozy rooms with antiques, robes, and comfy floral linens and quilts have views of the Gorge, and all share a bath.

Formerly a bed-and-breakfast, this house now rents to large groups and comes with a saltwater pool, private baths in each room, and plenty of private space and amenities.

The friendly hosts are happy to give recommendations for drinking and dining, which will have you feeling like part of the neighborhood in no time.

A historic boutique property set on 2 flower-filled acres in the middle of town, MacCallum House strikes the perfect balance between Victorian charm and modern luxury. Guest rooms in the main house and renovated barn (six in each) feel genteel and romantic (the ones in the barn are larger and look more contemporary), while the seven cottages nearby are bright and honeymoon-y. One of them, the water tower, is unforgettable, with a living room on the first floor, a sauna on the second, and an ocean view from the bed on the third. Other accommodations have a private outdoor hot tub or a sauna-equipped bathroom. The MacCallum lineup also includes 10 modern luxury suites a few blocks away. The longtime chef at the outstanding restaurant, one of Mendocino's best, hand selects the best local ingredients, and everything from pasta to ice cream is prepared daily from scratch.

This spot blends the drama of a grand European hotel with the warmth of a mountain chalet. A large fitness center, full-service spa and salon, ski valet, Village Square location, and a 4,000-square-foot pool deck make the Madeline not only sophisticated, but convenient as well. The on-site Timber Room restaurant serves whiskey-forward cocktails and small plates near a toasty fireplace.

Part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, Connecticut's only beachfront boutique hotel has seen many updates and upgrades over its 100-year history, but it remains one of the most beautiful and relaxing spots along the coast. The hotel's front yard and private beach play host to a summer concert series, and exceptional views are available from most of the rooms as well as the Porch restaurant. The Wharf and Crow's Next offer additional dining options, and therapists at Sounds of the Sea Spa are available for massages and other treatments.

As Madison's most elegant hotel—a half-block off State Street and one block from Capitol Square—the Concourse attracts important public figures. Rooms are awash in neutral, classy hues and feature Bath & Body Works toiletries, a 37-inch flat-screen television, and the hotel's own Dayton Street Comfort Collection bed linens. Dayton Street Grille sources ingredients from Wisconsin's farms and dairies, serving everything from fried cheese curds to braised pheasant. The 100 rooms on the Governor's Club executive level include access to a private lounge serving complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails.

The signatures of presidents, prime ministers, sultans, and kings fill the guest register at this classic Washington address, noted for polite service and stylish comfort and now rebranded as a Hilton. Custom bedding lulls you to sleep in rooms fitted with plush lounge chairs, flat-screen TVs, ergonomic workstations, and marble-and-granite bathrooms stocked with luxurious bath products and towels. The M Street location puts you close to the White House, numerous monuments, and dozens of restaurants. The lobby lounge, Postscript, serves light bites, but it's not a full-service restaurant.

From its rococo bathrooms to its pink-on-pink froufrou steak house, the Madonna Inn is fabulous or tacky, depending on your point of view. In several faux-Swiss buildings arrayed on a hillside, rooms are each unique, to say the least: Rock Bottom is all stone; the Safari Room is decked out in animal skins. A walking/bike path leads from the hotel to downtown San Luis Obispo, about a mile away.

This 89-room boutique hotel, strategically tucked away on Music Lane, feels a world away from the immediately adjacent South Congress Avenue, thanks to its brilliant architectural and landscape design that highlights intuitive privacy and proximity to nature. Four buildings, interconnected by elevated walkways and courtyards surrounding a lovely outdoor pool and lounge, compose this treehouse-esque complex that boasts views (from certain rooms), plush beds and amenities, and access to the excellent on-site Summer House restaurant.

There's nothing thematic about the guest room decor, but guests at this hotel can secure advance dinner reservations and attend magic shows at the Magic Castle, a private club in a 1908 mansion next door for magicians and their admirers. (The club requires jacket and tie for men; kids are allowed only during brunch on weekends. Advance reservations a must.) This former apartment building faces busy Franklin Avenue and is a quick walk to the Metro Red Line stop at Hollywood & Highland. Larger rooms have full kitchens with eating areas. The decent-size heated pool is always open, and the patio has lots of greenery. Continental breakfast (often with a magician performing), 24-hour snacks and soda, and laundry service are complimentary.

When it opened in 1922, the 29-story Magnolia building was the tallest structure south of Washington, D.C. Today it is best known as the home of the red-neon Pegasus sign, installed atop the structure in 1934. (The current sign is a replica.) The building opened as a hotel in 1999, with tailored, oversized rooms that have an urban loft feel; the 129 suites have full kitchens.

Midcentury elegance abounds at Omaha’s Magnolia Hotel, a beautiful old property that’s a popular wedding spot for local couples. The building, dating from 1923, is located in the city's historic Old Market district, making it convenient if you're stopping in as a business traveler or a tourist. The front-desk staff are knowledgeable about local attractions.

Formerly the Houston Post-Dispatch newspaper building and the original corporate headquarters for Shell Oil Company, the chic Magnolia takes a historic property in a modern, well-designed direction. Guests enjoy a complimentary nightly cocktail reception, as well as a milk-and-cookies buffet right before bedtime. The rooftop pool offers great downtown views. Bedding and linens are amazing, some of the best we've experienced.

Smack in the middle of Old Town, this contemporary hotel blends chic modern design with a mountain feel, and all 33 rooms are suites or residences, providing ample space to relax and take in the views of Park City and historic Old Town. Most rooms have soft leather couches, soaking tubs that fill from cascading ceiling spouts, fireplaces, kitchens with all the culinary bells and whistles, and balconies with hot tubs overlooking the mountains. Some units have billiards, too. Gawk at the view from the glass elevator, have a memorable meal in Courchevel Bistro, relax in the spa, or step out the door to the hustle and bustle of Main Street. Park City Mountain Resort's Town Lift is a block away.

It's worth a visit to this pint-size property for the Victorian-era aesthetics alone, displaying stained glass, marble, and an antiques collection that includes Buffalo Bill Cody's private railcar, a fireplace from Scotland's Preswick Castle, and lamps that graced the streets of 18th-century Brussels. The rooms at Main Street are some of the nicest Downtown, and they're usually available at rock-bottom prices. Guests have access to the pool at the adjacent California Hotel.

The affordable suites in this hotel come with full kitchens. About a quarter of the suites have separate bedrooms; the rest are studio apartments with large workspaces, ergonomic desk chairs, and two-line speakerphones. Guests receive complimentary continental breakfast and a complimentary shuttle to the airport (about 5 miles from the hotel).

From the outside, this looks like just another business hotel, but its bland exterior is delightfully deceptive. Inside you’ll find not only clean, well-maintained suites with full kitchens, but also an indoor mini-water park, complete with two twisty waterslides. It’s naturally a popular spot with families, and the staff is therefore used to making guests of all ages feel welcome and appreciated. The MainStay is just off Interstate 94, a couple of miles north of the city center.

At this appealing modern, tech-forward boutique option a short stroll from the Philadelphia Art Museum, the cool industrial vibe (think concrete floors, exposed brick) is warmed up by plant-draped common areas, colorful art, and thoughtful design choices and finishes throughout. Most rooms aren't large, but they use space efficiently and have good-size bathrooms with smart mirrors; bedside lighting is controlled by smartphone (or a walk to a light switch). In season, there's seating outside the building, and the comfortable seating in the lobby and lots of tables by the coffee station create attractive spaces for relaxing or working year-round. The leafy streets of Fairmount and restaurants are a short walk from the hotel. A concierge screen is helpful, but someone is at the front desk to assist. The hotel has a fitness room, and public parking lots are nearby.
