1102 Best Hotels in USA

Nestled beneath a massive red rock monolith, this two-level property affords spectacular views of Monument Valley from each room's private balcony. Before the View Hotel opened nearby with even more impressive views, this was the only lodging in the region offering truly knockout scenery. It has more history than its competitor, but it's not as plush, although rooms do have DVD players, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs; there are also several family suites, each with two bedrooms and full kitchens. The on-site Stagecoach restaurant serves American, Southwestern, and Navajo fare amid Western movie memorabilia. Goulding's also conducts custom guided tours and provides Navajo guides into the backcountry.

Built to impress dignitaries and celebs attending the 2002 Winter Olympics, this 24-story luxury tower is Salt Lake City's most opulent hotel, a huge complex with similarly huge rooms (averaging 700 square feet), most of them with balconies and sweeping views. Inside the beveled-glass and brass doors, you step into a world of Italian marble floors and walls and pure old-world style—think English wool carpets, French furniture and tapestries, and colorful Murano-glass chandeliers.

Charlotte's take on this art-focused chain hotel is sleek and modern, like the Queen City, but with a subtle Argentinean undercurrent that's apparent in the paintings and sculptures, and in the food at Mico, the on-site restaurant. White marble and black accents set an upscale, neutral tone, while large-format portraits and gold-plated ceilings provide contrasting color. The rooftop bar, Buho, is a weekend hot spot for locals.

Greenville's new centerpiece lodge—directly on the Reedy River at the Liberty Bridge—is also the grandest of Richard Kessler's Grand Bohemian chain. A life-size Native American on a rearing horse sculpture, a stone buffalo, and a 10-foot tall geode greet you before even entering the resplendent lobby, with its bespoke glass antler chandeliers, art gallery, restaurants, and wide porches overlooking the river. Rooms are equally dazzling, furnished with stunning art, and on the 5th floor, 15-foot ceilings.

Guests typically leave this B&B gushing over just about everything—the Tuscan-villa atmosphere, the expansive vineyard vistas, the sublime hospitality, the elaborate breakfasts, the luxurious accommodations, the ultrasoft sheets. Each of the five spacious suites (500–700 square feet) is designed for comfort and relaxation, with plush furniture and bedding; fireplace sitting areas; private patios; and well-lit marble bathrooms with double vanities, rain showers, and deep soaking tubs. The women who own the inn also operate the adjacent Teneral Cellars winery (tastings daily), which donates 10% of sales profits "to organizations that empower women and fight for gender and racial justice." 

San Diego's first (and only) guest-only hotel means safety, security, and privacy, all wrapped up in a $30-million renovation of a historic 1904 building. No design detail has been overlooked in this comfortable, cosmopolitan addition to lively Gaslamp. Thoughtful touches like zebra-print rugs and peacock-shaped lamps in guest rooms act as an homage to the building's history as temporary housing for numerous animals on their way to the nearby San Diego Zoo. A 24/7 security guard keeps the public out, allowing guests to feel at home in one of the 96 rooms, all of which have soundproof windows to block out street noise. A hot breakfast is included with the rate, but Granger encourages guests to get out and experience San Diego's extensive options of nearby restaurants, returning to relax and perhaps enjoy a nightcap in The Parlor Room adjacent to the lobby lounge. A partnership with the parking garage off 5th Avenue and Broadway allows for overnight parking with in-and-out privileges for $40 a night—a bargain in pricey downtown. 

This upscale boutique hotel on Gore Creek is perfectly located for outdoor enthusiasts, but its private fireplaces and featherbeds, as well as the sprawling spa and fitness center, may tempt guests to spend the entire stay indoors. Rooms feel like a home away from home thanks to spacious living areas and large bathrooms. Soak in one of the deep bathtubs or in one of the indoor or outdoor hot tubs. The 18,000-square-foot fitness center has a hefty lineup of group fitness classes and Peloton bikes. Park for free in the public lot across the street and walk into town in just a few minutes.

Perfectly situated on Hana Bay, this two-story "condotel" has an excellent reputation for cleanliness and visitor hospitality—and the ocean views are stunning. The studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units are comfortably furnished and have well-equipped kitchens with all the appliances, table settings, spices, and other cooking essentials you need to prepare meals. There aren't many restaurants in Hana, but some of the best food trucks on Maui are within walking distance.

Prepare to be bowled over by every aspect of this showcase property with a rugged Pacific-cliff setting, destination restaurant, sterling hospitality, and luxurious accommodations in a 1916 redwood Craftsman-style house and a few newer cottages. The ocean-view restaurant (reservations essential) serves elaborate, seafood-oriented, prix-fixe meals; seating for nonguests is limited.

Here, above the sea cliffs in North Kohala, sustainability meets luxury without sacrificing comfort: the resort generates its own solar and wind-turbine power, harnesses its own water, and grows much of its own food. Beautiful floors are made from sustainably harvested woods, and rooms take advantage of natural light and ventilation to keep energy usage low. Surrounded by 50 acres, 20 of which are a dedicated conservation area, the retreat feels both luxe and completely hidden from the world. Handsome rooms have high ceilings, elegant doors, crown molding, and private balconies. Three cliff-side hales (houses) with kitchenettes offer ocean views. More affordable options are available at the retreat's Yurt Village, which includes access to the saltwater infinity pool and fitness center. Breakfast is sourced from the resort's garden supply, augmented by island-fresh ingredients from local farms.

No detail has been overlooked—from the grand foyer to the beautifully appointed rooms decorated in soothing coastal shades—making this the ultimate resort for luxury and tranquility. Many rooms have a superb view of Henderson Beach State Park's 208 acres of unspoiled natural beauty. Other rooms offer express service to the hotel's Salamander Spa, with an extensive menu of treatments to revive body and soul. Thirteen local artists were commissioned to create 465 custom pieces of art that decorate the hotel. Sister properties include the one- and two-bedroom Henderson Loft Condos and the Henderson Park Inn, a 36-room hotel on the beachfront adjacent to the park. The Inn is adults-only and its amenities include a breakfast buffet, box lunch, happy hour, and access to the pools and other services at the resort hotel.

Tucked away on 60 wooded acres near Goose Rocks Beach, this resort enclave has hiking trails, two pools, a sumptuous spa, a phenomenal restaurant, and a variety of lodging options—from luxurious one-bedroom bungalows and two-bedroom cottages to rustic-chic lodges with interconnected suites and studios. The individually decorated accommodations have fireplaces, outdoor showers, screened-in porches, and full kitchens that can be stocked with groceries or filled with delicious dishes prepared by your own personal chef. The spa is available to guests and nonguests alike.

Spread across 1,400 acres on one of the finest properties in western North Carolina, High Hampton exudes casual luxury from the friendly welcome in the gorgeous lodge, where the staff remembers your name, to the leisurely breakfasts and multi-course dinners in the dining room (an optional add-on). Two mountains—both with private hiking trails—frame the view from the fishing and swimming lake, swimming pool, tennis courts, and 18-hole, Tom Fazio–designed golf course. Now a Blackberry Farms property, the resort includes rooms in the historic inn and cottages spread across the grounds.

The highlight of this family-oriented, all-suite hotel is the 9-acre River Ranch Water Park; it has swimming pools with waterfalls, a 130-foot waterslide, and a 1,000-foot "river" that winds past a miniature golf course, tennis courts, and artificial buttes. Accommodations in the stucco buildings vary from standard two-room suites to a grand three-bedroom house; all have balconies. It is also adjacent to the very busy AZ 51, though it manages to filter out most freeway noise. Kids can enjoy the "Coyote Camp" youth programs while adults take in area golf and the Tocasierra Spa.

This Hilton is the only four-star hotel in Virginia Beach; towering 21 stories over the oceanfront, it has shops, three restaurants, a rooftop bar, and infinity pool. The seafood restaurant, Catch 31, receives consistently good reviews, and there is great outdoor seating overlooking the boardwalk. At night the bar is a happening scene for thirtysomethings. Rooms use muted tan textiles to give the space a warm feeling. Flat-screen TVs are in both bedrooms and the bathrooms. Most rooms have balconies with panoramic views, but if yours lacks a beachfront view, you can always hang out at the rooftop pool with rails of glass looking down to the boardwalk. Recently upgraded, the three floors of the Empyrean Club level have really taken it up a notch: the bathrooms even have built-in TVs in the mirrors. Book early, as the Hilton sells out quickly, even in the off-season.

This 19th-century Gothic Revival boutique hotel blends the amenities and service of a luxury property with the ambience and charm of a small B&B with art and antiques that help capture the island's rural, seaside charm. Rooms, many of which overlook the spectacular gardens, are gracious and quite large by island standards; those on the upper floors have dormer windows. The front porch, filled with flowers and rocking chairs, is a perfect spot for reading or relaxing.

Moab's only four-star hotel is right downtown, though also standing next to the area's famed red rocks, giving you the best of both worlds, surrounded by the kind of luxury that's hard to find in rural Utah. The interiors are spotless and chic, inspired by the surrounding natural beauty and the area's mining history, with touches of gold, orange, yellow, and earth tones. You'll find locally informed art and petrified wood tables in each room. There's a good restaurant on-site, as well as the only spa in town. The beautiful pool is one of Moab's best.

Sit in the hot tub under the stars—and next to a striking Dale Chihuly glass sculpture—and soak in the rolling mountain vistas at this sumptuous retreat 10 miles out of town. Suites and cottages, all tastefully appointed and art-filled, are spread across the 85-acre riverfront property that includes a horse barn converted into a spa, a steam room and dry sauna, a game room with billiards and table tennis, a dedicated children's play house, and the Silo Cookhouse, the best restaurant south of Asheville on the I–26 corridor. 

Scandinavian modern design lovers will swoon over Hotel Ändra, from the striking double-height lobby lounge that still feels cozy thanks to plush seating and a large fireplace, to the freshly renovated rooms, which feature stylish furnishings in an on-trend palette of grays, ochres, and pinks.

A sprawling collection of Spanish-Moorish buildings that opened in 2017 at the site of the historic 1925 Hotel Californian, this sophisticated property with a hip youthful vibe occupies nearly three full blocks just steps from Stearns Wharf and the harbor.

Recalling Captain Cook's voyages to Alaska and the South Pacific, dark teak paneling lines the hotel's interior, and a nautical theme continues into the guest rooms.

The hotel occupies an entire city block with three towers, the tallest of which is capped by the Crow's Nest Restaurant, one of five eateries on-site. The most luxurious accommodation is found on the 19th floor of Tower III—a sprawling, 1,600-square-foot two-bedroom suite, which costs a mere $1,500 per night and come with perks galore.

In the 1920s, it was a posh beach club catering to the city's elite; now the Casa del Mar is one of SoCal's most luxurious beachfront hotels. One of only two hotels in the area that's truly on the sand, this historic property boasts a heavenly lobby, three extravagant two-story penthouses, a raised deck and ocean-view pool, an indulgent spa, and an elegant ballroom. Popular with celebrities and foreign dignitaries, the pet-friendly property houses guest rooms designed to evoke a Mediterranean estate with transitional coastal furnishings. They're filled with contemporary tech amenities like lighting control panels, an indulgent minibar, and supremely comfortable beds with sumptuous white and blue Italian-designed linens. Bathrooms are gorgeous, with Italian marble, massage tubs, and glass-enclosed showers, as well as luxe Diptyque toiletries and a "beauty chest" filled with goodies available for purchase, like face masks, frangipani spray, and even chargers. Sea-hued, breezy Terrazza delights locals and tourists with beachfront dining; impeccable yet understated service; fine cuisine; and more than 100 bottles of wine on the menu.

Enjoy chef John Brand's marvelous creations for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or brunch at on-site restaurant Supper, then relax at the dramatic city bar Sternewirth Tavern & Club Room off the lobby. Don't miss the lovely Curio, one of the best hotel gift shops anywhere.

Developer Giorgio Borlenghi (Uptown Park, Four Leaf Towers, Four Oaks Place) doesn't do things on the cheap. Witness this magnificent European-style residential palace that's big with the international crowd. The super-luxurious all-suites property is just steps away from the Uptown Park shopping and dining village. A multilingual staff anticipates your every need. Suites come as big as 2,100 square feet.

Built during the Great Depression, this grand Mediterranean–style hotel offers classic rooms with maple armoires and paintings by local artists. Elegant original touches abound, from the mosaic-tile Fountain Lobby to the clubby Iberian Lounge. The spa's chocolate-based body treatments include a chocolate fondue wrap and a whipped cocoa bath. There are plenty of options for recreation, including a golf course, indoor and outdoor pools, a ropes course, nature trails, and a falconry course. The Circular is an iconic fine-dining restaurant.

Easily Downtown's most glamorous hotel, Hotel ICON combines historic architecture with shabby Chinoiserie, contemporary finishes, overstuffed furniture, and attentive service. Rooms have large flat-screen TVs, Molton Brown bath products, and marble bathrooms. Right on Main Street, the former Union National Bank building also houses BANK restaurant, the ICON Bar, and the Balance Day Spa. The top-floor multilevel suites are almost unbelievably grand and gorgeous.

This Bavarian-style lodging with flowers tumbling over the wooden balconies is decorated with sturdy alpine furniture, rich fabrics, and cozy comforters—some rooms even have hand-painted old-world bed frames and armoires. In the adjacent Old Chapel, formerly a Catholic church, you can stay in a unique suite with a king bed and sleeping loft, or in the quiet "parish nook" with hand-carved walnut furniture from Austria. Some suites have log-burning fireplaces and jetted tubs.  A hearty European breakfast of coffee, fruit, muesli, meats and cheeses, and coffee cake is served. 

Saint Cecilia goes beyond anything you'd expect in an eclectic, decidedly Austin accommodation, from the art deco–style bar to the neon lights that read "S-O-U-L" shining above the heated outdoor pool. No two rooms are alike on the swanky, highly exclusive South Congress estate, from contemporary poolside bungalows to suites in the historic Victorian main building, though each reflects an extravagant, vintage-inspired style in a rock-and-roll meets turn-of-the-20th-century France motif. All have luxurious Hästens beds, refinished antiques, and unconventional artwork ranging from Keith Richards portraits to vintage Cuban movie posters. An on-site café has an all-day menu.
