2882 Best Hotels in USA

Set back from traffic on the south end of I-Drive, this condo hotel offers a good deal for a family, with suites that have separate bedrooms, flat-screen TVs, full kitchens with dishwasher, and bathrooms; the I-Ride Trolley passes the front door.

There’s an exciting energy in the courtyard of this charming boutique hotel. That fun central patio setting would fit right in with the low-key alfresco party atmosphere found in cities like Austin, Texas, but is rarely seen in the Bay Area. Nature and technology are the recurring theme throughout the hotel, with the former seen in the oak tree–inspired decor and farm-to-table restaurant on-site. For tech industry travelers looking for something small and hip, this is a good choice.

The closest hotel in town to Washington Park, this comfortable if not especially fancy apartment-style hotel is one of the city's better-kept secrets; it's on the southern edge of the Nob Hill shopping district, and about a 15-minute walk from downtown. Suites have one or two bedrooms and come with spacious, work-friendly living areas and kitchens stocked with dishware, lots of cabinet space, and a full-size refrigerator, stovetop, microwave, and dishwasher. Standard rooms, which are in a motel-style building across the street, have bamboo floors and a simple midcentury-modern aesthetic.

Small and intimate, this beautifully updated 1922 establishment charms with its fern-bedecked wrought-iron balconies and such offerings as free Wi-Fi and coffee and tea service in the lobby. The best accommodations are suites that open onto a flower-filled balcony over Park Avenue itself. The separate but high-end BoVine Steakhouse is in the same building.

In a beautifully transformed 1906 office building, this contemporary hotel is a great vacation base: comfortable and convenient but basic enough to be good value. Guest rooms feel smartly modern, though they've retained some period details, while the updated lobby is a comfortable place to lounge.

This hotel dramatically transformed the Parker Building, a narrow structure that was the city's tallest building when it was erected in 1906. An antique cage-style elevator takes you to contemporary rooms with dark-wood furniture and floral-fabric accents. Maroon velvet curtains and vintage movie posters in the lounge downstairs are a nod to the inn's neighbor, Proctor's Theatre; before and after shows, a chic crowd gathers for drinks, dinner, and snacks.

Almost every room at this budget-friendly option has a view of South Pine Channel, with the lovely curl of Big Pine Key in the foreground. Waterfront cottages, with decks or balconies, are spread out on 6 landscaped acres, where there's also a heated swimming pool and a putting green. There are water sports galore, and the staff will book you a kayak tour, a fishing trip, or a bike excursion, or tell you which local restaurants will deliver dinner to your room. So what if the decor feels a little like Grandma's house and you have to pay extra ($10 or more) if you want your room cleaned daily? It's clean and comfy.

Rooms here have a crisp, modern look—with beach-cottage chic decor and upbeat pastel color schemes—but this property maintains its old-fashioned beach community feel with picket fences and rocking-chair porches. Mangroves fringe the man-made beach that edges Florida Bay, and the lush 5-acre grounds contain hammocks, four pools, and a sculpture garden. The resort fee covers a shuttle bus to Duval Street and nearby Smathers Beach, where lounge chairs are available for hotel guests.

Constructed in 1929, this landmark lodge hosted dozens of movie stars during Kanab's movie location heyday and is now a fun and simple, well-located base for budget-minded parks visitors. Accommodations are basic but have been nicely remodeled over the years. A reasonably priced breakfast buffet is served daily just off the lobby, which is lined with photos of Ronald Reagan, Barbara Stanwyck, Clint Eastwood, and others who stayed here while filming in the area. During the warmer months, Western movies are shown in the Old Barn Theater, complete with popcorn and ice cream.

Perched on top of a hill overlooking Augusta, this National Trust Historic Hotel is part of Hilton's Curio Collection. The inn's 12 common balconies and breathtaking upper veranda create lustrous outdoor retreats for a coffee and newspaper read. Rooms are fresh and modern and many have private balconies. There's a restaurant, rooftop bar, and pool on-site. Located at the gateway to Summerville, a hilltop neighborhood of summer homes dating to 1800, the inn was built in 1910 on the foundation of a home dating to 1836.

On the site of an old spa hotel of the same name, this inn has various buildings clustered around a lush, shaded garden with a pool. Each of the 18 Deluxe Spa rooms has a hot tub in its bathroom or on its balcony, and bears the name of a local winery that supplied the room's photography, artwork, and other special touches. The Piccolo at the Paso Robles Inn is a four-story luxury hotel with a rooftop bar adjacent to the historic property.

No detail was overlooked in the creation of this hotel, which offers luxury, elegance, and comfort. It is also home to Havana Beach Bar & Grill, which has earned AAA's Four Diamond rating and Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence.

Since becoming part of Hilton's indie-spirited Tapestry collection, this elegant 1910 classic hotel with a distinctive gray exterior has undergone a complete top-to-bottom renovation, with a substantial increase in room rates to go with it. The spacious rooms with period-style furnishings capture the spirit of Salt Lake City's early years, and the grand lobby is a lovely spot to relax in or meet up with friends. Amenities include a fitness center and a pair of lively restaurants.

This 19th-century building with homey accommodations is close to CBD sights like the Riverwalk and the casino, and offers a less hectic alternative to the convention hotels. The small lobby has a green marble floor and fresh flowers. Some of the small rooms have four-poster beds, all have marble and granite baths, and some, though attractively furnished, do not have windows.

This 1950s throwback recalls the days when parents packed the kids into the station wagon and headed to no-frills seaside motels. The owners have spiffed things up with cute, artsy touches and added a small sunning beach, but basically it's just a motel—nothing fancy but comfortable. Guests don't mind skimping on space (although larger waterfront cottages are available) and a few frills in favor of homey digs, socializing under the chickee, and reasonable rates.

Color is the name of the game at this great little hotel-spa oriented around a rock courtyard and tucked behind a coyote fence right Downtown. Soaking tubs in private, serene spaces are reserved for guests only. Rooms are vibrantly colored and furnished with a mixture of contemporary and retro furniture; many have separate sitting areas and kitchens. Not all rooms are located on-site, but all are within minutes of the main building. The Aqua Room ($80) has an in-room soaking tub. The property also rents about 20 rooms located elsewhere around town.

City history and contemporary design come together with stylish elegance at the Pendry Chicago, in the iconic 1929 art deco Carbide and Carbon Building. The minimalist decor with gold accents complement the original building design making guest rooms feel bright and modern. The ground-floor restaurant, Venteux, and the rooftop bar, Château Carbide, highlight French cuisine.

This cosmopolitan little hotel in a refurbished 19th-century commercial building on the fringe of Old City offers its own brand of urban charm. The owner is a well-regarded Italian-born restaurateur who also runs Ristorante Panorama, the downstairs eatery, and its wine bar, a Guinness World Records holder for its 120-bottle cruvinet system (they pour more than 150 wines by the glass). Rooms are comfortable and rather European looking, some with Chippendale-style furniture and floral wallpaper, others with a more modern feel; some rooms feature fireplaces, balconies, and whirlpool baths. Ask about rooms with views of the Delaware River.

A few miles removed from downtown's flashy main drag, this property set a high standard for luxury in Reno, especially in the Tuscany Tower, whose 600 baroque suites have plush king-size beds, marble bathrooms, and European soaking tubs. The serviceable dining options include Oceano, an over-the-top seafood restaurant that feels like you're eating inside an aquarium; and Romanza Ristorante Italiano, with elegant china place settings and a planetarium-like star show.

This industrial-chic stunner—where spacious, airy rooms juxtapose crisp white linens with furnishings and fixtures in rich chocolate-browns and shades of gray—has made off-the-beaten-path Stock Island a Key West destination. The hotel is surrounded by water, so many of the rooms have truly wonderful views, and canine pals are welcome here, with pet-friendly amenities that include a dog park. Matt's Stock Island serves up some of the area's most creative food, with dishes such as crab beignets or grouper with cornbread gnudi (gnocchi-like dumplings).

Milwaukee's grandest old hotel dates from 1893. The lobby's long, high barrel-vaulted ceiling puts you in a Victorian frame of mind from the moment you step in. Rooms are decorated with a Victorian flavor and some are odd shapes, reflecting the complications of pouring modern amenities into an old structure—but this actually adds to the charm. The Pfister is three blocks east of the lakefront. The penthouse-level bar Blu has a view of the skyline. An English tea is served in the fern-shaded dining room most afternoons.

This bustling convention hotel fills an entire city block, and for an intrinsically impersonal type of place, the Marriott tries hard to meet special needs; it also offers some of the lowest rates in its price category. The softly lit lobby has comfortable seating areas with a sushi bar and a Starbucks steps away. The more than 1,300 guest rooms are brightly decorated, and at no additional cost, you can request one of the hotel’s \"rooms that work,\" with adjustable desks and extra lighting and outlets. The on-site restaurants, Circ Bar and THIRTEEN, serve contemporary American food. If you're driving, you may want to park in a public parking lot, as the hotel charges upwards of $56 a night.

Convenient to downtown sights, this Colonial-style building is two blocks from Penn's Landing, three blocks from Headhouse Square, and four blocks from Independence Hall. Framed by archways, the four-story Greatroom Lobby is flooded with natural light and features spacious communal gathering areas. Guest rooms were last renovated in 2019, and have a clean, minimal feel, with updated amenities; the fourth-floor rooms facing east toward the Delaware River have the best views. The “M Club” lounge level offers upscale food options and versatile work-and-leisure space. Society Commons, the hotel's restaurant, serves classic American fare; the on-site coffee bar offers quick bites.

Relatives of the family that owns the Boonville Hotel are involved in this farm with three inviting cottages and one guest room set in an organic heirloom apple orchard. It all feels very Provençal—the elegant country linens, the floral paintings adorning the walls, the gardens full of herbs and vegetables outside your door. On some weekends, the cottages are reserved for people attending the highly respected on-site cooking school, but midweek a room is often available. The farm stand sells the orchard's apples and pears from late July to Thanksgiving, plus delectable apricot, plum, raspberry, and other jams, including a superb orange marmalade.

If you prefer to be near the Hill but not in a convention hotel, this family-owned, European-style hotel—which offers small but beautifully appointed and comfortable guest rooms across the street from Union Station—may fit the bill. The Dubliner Restaurant and Pub, a lively spot that sits next door, provides in-room dining, and Irish entertainers perform nightly.

A favorite with generations of visitors, the Pine Inn is four blocks from the beach and has Victorian-style furnishings, complete with a grandfather clock, padded fabric wall panels, antique tapestries, and marble tabletops. The property includes a brick courtyard of specialty shops and a modern Italian restaurant. 

This Swiss-style ski-in ski-out lodge is a winner for skiers, combining upscale accommodations with an unpretentious attitude. The aura of laid-back luxury comes from little extras such as afternoon tea or hot chocolate by the fireplace in the lobby; there's even an on-site ski shop. Rooms are clean and light. They vary in size—ask for a corner room facing the mountain, as these have an extra sofa (with foldout bed) for contemplating the views from the large windows. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the ski area. The lodge is also known for its fine restaurant, the much-lauded Grouse Mountain Grill.

When new owners took over this motel built in 1946 as a bunkhouse for film stars shooting in and around Pioneertown (like Gene Autry, who used Room 9 for late-night poker games), they gave it a much-needed rehab while respecting its cowboy movie roots, so, although there are still beat-up wood doors and exposed-beam ceilings, there are also new sink basins, tiled showers, air-conditioning, and property-wide Wi-Fi. The decor leans hard into the Western-meets-high-desert aesthetic, with Mexican blankets, potted succulents, rope curtains on the closets, black-and-white photos of rock formations, and cowhide rugs. Guests can gather at outdoor tables and seating vignettes or in a 24-hour lounge with games and gourmet coffee; there's also an event space. It isn't fancy, but it isn't trying to be, and it definitely has a vibe. 

A Savannah landmark, the Planters Inn makes sure its guests mix and mingle—the evening wine-and-cheese reception is a house party where the concierge introduces fellow guests, a good cross-section of leisure and business travelers, many of whom are repeats. Built in 1812, the hotel's lobby retains the regal tone of a bygone golden age, with classical music adding to the ambience, and guest rooms are decorated with fine fabrics and Baker furnishings (a 1920s design named for the Dutch immigrant cabinetmaker); the best rooms overlook Reynolds Square and some have working fireplaces. Continental breakfast is delivered to your room. Guests are asked (with a wink) not to disturb the friendly ghost who reputedly inhabits the hotel.
