Near the village of Five Islands on secluded and quiet-as-can-be Georgetown Island, this handsome shingled house sits on 5 secluded, waterfront acres along Gott’s Cove. Every room has a water view and features local art. Some have fireplaces and private decks. The included full breakfast features dishes made with Maine ingredients.

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.

There's plenty of storage for your gear, and common areas include a laundry, computers, and access to a kitchen to fix your breakfast (groceries supplied and included in the lodging rate).

A relic of silver-mining days, this charming 1890s structure with a street-front balcony has been fully restored.

Excellent lunch and dinner, as well as complimentary hot breakfast, are served in the dining room.

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.

The innkeepers are avid sports people and happily give winter and summer trail advice. Homemade muesli and pastries are included in the generous breakfast.

Lavish accommodations, cavernous bathrooms, and highly personalized service characterize this brand, the most upscale of the three Hilton brands on-site.

Crockfords guests check in at the VIP desk in the Conrad Lobby, and then retreat to a daybed at the resort's pool complex, or indulge in a massage or facial at the Awana Spa.

After you arrive at this stately Greek Revival mansion and pass through the grand columns of the portico, any hint of formality dissolves as the innkeepers greet you with a plate of fresh-baked cookies.

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.

Rooms are clean and comfortable and an executive floor offers upgraded amenities and lounge access. Another extra is the Sleep Advantage packet, with a calming CD, eye mask, earplugs, and lavender linen spray.

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. Rooms are spacious and decorated in earth tones–reds and light browns with cream-colored walls, the result of a 2006 renovation to convert this former Wyndham property. 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.

History and franchises can mix, as this 1920s-vintage hotel proves with its handsome atrium lobby and sleep-conducive rooms. The place where Hemingway and Tennessee Williams both once entertained their muses is a cool, mellow respite from the Duval bustle outside its door. The second-floor pool and green courtyard provide further escape, as does the spa on the seventh floor. Cozy rooms include plush bedding, laptop safes, and mini-refrigerators.

This modern, upscale, chain hotel is popular with business travelers but makes a good base for leisure visitors, too, as it's just a short MAX or streetcar ride across from downtown and within walking distance of the Rose Quarter, the Coliseum, the convention center, and the Lloyd Center mall. Rooms are attractive if standard-issue, with microwaves, refrigerators, DVD players, and large flat-screen HDTVs.

From its hilltop perch, the four-story hotel takes in the resort's 1,000-plus acres and lovely mountain and lake views. The property encompasses two highly regarded 18-hole golf courses and the well-known Veranda restaurant. It also has a private beach on Lake Placid. Guest-room furnishings are traditional and attractive, with two double beds. Some rooms have jetted tubs and fireplaces. Also on the grounds are chalets and lakeside condominiums.

Clean and comfortable, the Crowne Plaza may not have the frills of downtown hotels and coastal resorts, but it's a reliable pick for budget-minded visitors. A popular conference location with more than 30,000-square-feet of meeting space, the hotel is best for business travelers and guests looking for an affordable and modest jumping-off point for exploring what San Diego has to offer.

A 12-story hotel with an enviable location on the beach and next to a historic pier, the Crowne Plaza is within walking distance of downtown restaurants and nightlife. All rooms have balconies and ocean views of some sort—ask for a room on the west or north side to catch the sunsets. The hotel's restaurant and bar have ocean views, too. For a fabulous SoCal moment, grab a seat on the patio near the firepit if the weather's good.

Rustic little oases with a charm all their own, the beachy cottages may lack some of the amenities of comparably priced hotels, but you're paying for character and proximity to the ocean—these lodgings are literally on the pier. Crystal Pier, a Pacific Beach landmark, had its grand opening in 1927; 10 years later, the first of the blue-and-white cottages were built. The well-maintained units sleep two to six people; most have kitchens and private decks. Call 11 months in advance for summer reservations. There's a minimum-stay requirement of three nights from mid-June through September, two nights the rest of the year.
