Housed in a converted historic office building (built in 1904) in Printer's Alley, this hotel occupies a prime piece of real estate in downtown Nashville.

A wraparound balcony overlooking St. Charles Avenue, a stunning six-story atrium, and some nods to period charm distinguish this family-friendly CBD hotel from other options in the neighborhood.

A welcome alternative to cookie-cutter accommodations down by Philadelphia International Airport, this LEED-certified Courtyard takes up residence in the Navy Yard, a 1,200-acre business campus in deep South Philly that is home to companies like GlaxoSmithKline and Urban Outfitters.

An on-site bistro, a Starbucks location, and free Wi-Fi round out the standard features. In addition to air travelers, the hotel is particularly popular with sports fans, as it's located close to Philly's baseball, basketball, football, and hockey stadiums.

This is not your typical Courtyard by Marriott, as the building has a historic past—it was the home of San Diego Trust and Savings Bank in 1928. Today much of the original lobby layout remains—you can even see where the teller cages once stood—and the elaborately stenciled ceiling matches the one in the hotel's presidential suite, which once served as the office for the building's original architect, William Templeton Johnson. Downstairs, the old vaults (with safe deposit boxes intact) serve as meeting rooms. The guest rooms feature contemporary decor and convenient amenities such as free Wi-Fi, microwaves, and work stations; some even have sofa sleepers for extra guests. It takes around 15 minutes to walk to Petco Park from the lobby, with plenty of eateries and bars on the way to stop and grab a bite or drink beforehand. 

As a nod to its location near the Kennedy Space Center, this hotel has space-themed decor and amenities and a rooftop Space Bar where you can take in views of the Indian River, watch launches, and enjoy flavorful food and drink.

The river side of the hotel's exterior features fire pits, Adirondack chairs, recreational games, and a resort-style pool with cabanas and a bar. 

Just a block from a Metro station and within walking distance to Nationals Park, this is a smart choice for budget-savvy travelers.

While you won't be beachside, complimentary champagne at check-in will set the resort mood, as will a bunch of boutique touches that normally cost extra.

You'll also find in-room extras like a fridge and microwave, and a rainfall showerhead in the sleek bathroom. Suites offer options like patios, dining areas, and clawfoot tubs. When you tire of the room, hit the year-round pool or lounge on the sundeck, in a cabana, or around the cozy firepit area. Families will enjoy outdoor games like cornhole and oversized chess. The glass-tiled Wave Lounge changes like the tides throughout the day, serving breakfast and smoothies; grab-and-go lunch; and drinks, apps, and American fare in the evenings. Parking is $13 per day.

Set on 4 acres overlooking Wheeler's Bay, about 8 miles northeast of Tenants Harbor, this atmospheric inn was built in 1930 as a boarding house for stonecutters working in the granite quarries on Clark Island, just across the way. Accommodations are housed in both the main building and in an annex that was originally a chapel. Though on the small side, all the rooms are bright and cheery and have simple country furnishings.

The inn's well-regarded restaurant, The Causeway, serves dinner five nights a week in season and four nights a week in winter; its Sunday brunch has an enthusiastic following.

Though you're only a short walking distance from Wimberley Village Square, the meandering dirt road to the inn makes this feel like a true hideaway. Look for deer in the tree-framed meadows nearby. The sprawling main house is shaded by pecan trees and wrapped in a series of wooden decks. Each guest room has a distinct style, with different color schemes and handmade bedspreads. After a good sleep on one of the pillow-top beds, be sure to stroll the grounds along the creek or soak in the hot tub with a glass of wine.

Named one of America's "Dozen Distinctive Destinations" by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this 1886 hotel, on 15 acres of grounds along the spine of the Ozark Mountains, is a Eureka Springs landmark. Originally built as a resort escape for Victorian gentility, it later became a bogus cancer hospital in an area known for healing waters. Since its multimillion-dollar refurbishment and reopening in 1997, the Crescent has added a conservatory, an expansive spa, a pizza bar, and a steak house restaurant complete with wine cellar. The newest addition to lodging options includes a collection of lodge-style cottages. Guests can learn about the hotel's past on morning history tours and nightly ghost tours.

Though it may seem a bit out of place in the Texas Hill Country, a little piece of the Crescent City sits prominently on Boerne's Main Street. The New Orleans–style second floor balcony overlooks the entire city center and gives you the sudden sensation you've been transplanted to the French Quarter. The 11 rooms each feature a different theme varying from Shabby Chic and the Hill Country to Asian and, of course, New Orleans. The building is a new construction, and rooms are spacious and clean. Hardwood or stained concrete floors are found in each room, as well as refrigerators and big, open bathrooms. After a day of wondering the town, the balcony is certainly a nice retreat for a glass of wine and a little relaxation.

With a huge stone fireplace in a wood-beamed lobby, this alpine-style ski lodge provides a cozy, unpretentious haven. Paneled rooms are decorated in neutrals with traditional furnishings.

Many rooms have fireplaces and four-poster beds with sheer panels or crocheted canopies; some also feature cavernous marble bathrooms. Windows provide pastoral vistas without another house in sight—except the 1764 Chimney's Cottage, which contains four of the guest rooms, all filled with period antiques. There's also an adjacent farm with a shop for hot coffee, pickles, pies, and jams.

You'll be in the midst of all the hustle-bustle at the Crowne Plaza, but you are also in the middle of Downtown's attractions. This 12-story brick-face hotel is connected to the Columbus Convention Center and adjacent to the Arena District. The two-story lobby—with its wall of windows along the street and slate and dark wood paneling—is a contrast to the neutral tones and art deco–inspired oak furniture found in the guest rooms. There is 8,000 square feet of meeting space here and a car rental desk in the lobby.

The local Highland Mall and shopping plaza are 2 miles from this highway-side hotel, continually bustling with conventions and business travelers; downtown is 4–5 miles away.

Twenty-five minutes north of Downtown, in a serene business park with man-made lakes, this suburban-style three-story stucco lodge contrasts with the commercial blocks around it.

Some rooms have skylights and balconies.

Baseball fans often make this hotel their home base since spring-training and other sports parks are just a few miles away; others love the sports bar downstairs and being a stroll from the Bell Tower Shops. Expect tasteful, traditional furniture in medium-tone woods with bright accent walls in rooms that have granite bathroom vanities; mini-refrigerators; microwaves; hair dryers; flat irons; robes and slippers; and yoga mats and blocks. A rock waterfall adds a nice touch to the quiet pool deck.
