2882 Best Hotels in USA

Offering rooms of 650 square feet or larger with vaulted ceilings, oversize windows, sitting areas, small kitchens with wet bars and dishwashers, and pleasing contemporary decor, this riverside lodge is special. With views of the surrounding peaks, the beautiful grounds and expansive pool area feel almost cradled by the canyon, and behind the hotel the Virgin River edges a grassy bank that is perfect for stargazing or evening picnics.

This nicely maintained motel with a handsome timber-frame facade and panoramic views of the surrounding red rocks is in Bluff, 25 miles northeast of Mexican Hat; it's an excellent base for exploring Goosenecks State Park, the northern end of Monument Valley, and even Canyonlands National Park, to the north. Rooms are spacious with log-frame beds and large bathrooms, and there are also seven upscale cabins with wood-paneled walls, high ceilings, and private porches. The on-site restaurant, Duke's, serves breakfast, dinner, and nonalcoholic beverages daily.

Hoteliers who revere nature and luxury in equal proportions conceived this gaspworthy, glass-walled, world-unto-itself "micro-resort" that debuted in 2022 a few-minutes' walk to a private-access beach and an even shorter one to Stateline's casinos. Gray and light brown furnishings accented with shades of blue and green predominate in the studios, suites, and town houses, all meant to deliver the casual grandeur of Tahoe vacation homes minus the mortgage and maintenance costs. All accommodations have patios or balconies, well-equipped kitchenettes, and sleep at least four. Amenities include a saltwater pool, hot tub, sauna, cold-shower plunge, fitness center, and Maggie's restaurant for refined cuisine befitting the upscale setting.

Built in the renovated Federal Building overlooking Marion Square, the Dewberry exudes style and sophistication from the travertine marble to the mahogany and walnut that adorn the lobby and in-house bar and restaurant. Rooms are among the city's priciest and most luxurious, from the Irish linens to the original local art. The reservations-only rooftop Citrus Club has enviable views of the city.

Staying at one of the happiest places on Earth is almost as fun as visiting both Disney parks. The lobby has giant teacup seating, and a memorabilia wall of historical photos featuring Walt and Roy Disney breaking ground to build this imaginative land. There are four different towers: Fantasy Tower, Adventure Tower, and the new Discovery Tower Villas offering more of the comforts of home. In the Fantasy and Adventure Towers, guest rooms have blue and gold theme carpeting, plus wood wall reliefs above the bed of Sleeping Beauty's castle; push a button and a firework display of white lights appear above the castle, while soft Disney theme music plays. The Adventure Tower offers Signature Suites that include a Mickey Mouse Suite, an Adventure Suite with clawfoot bathtub, and a Pirates of the Caribbean suite. The newer Discovery Villas offer a variety of themed guest rooms with magical touches. These rooms are available to the public until they sell out with Vacation Club owners.

After exploring the Disney parks, come back to the tropical oasis pool area offering two towering monorail theme waterslides, a fun water play area, two different swimming pools, and Mickey and Minnie hot whirlpools. Disney characters join in the fun, greeting guests throughout the day during the summer.

Dining options include the Polynesian Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, and Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar and Grill. Goofy's Kitchen offers all-you-can-eat buffets with character meet-and-greet opportunities.

From the moment you’re greeted with a warm chocolate chip cookie, you know you’re in for a good stay at this DoubleTree hotel just 10-minutes outside Lancaster. There are plenty of other perks here, too, including a market, gym, pool, bar, business center, and common spaces with TVs and games. Connecting the rooms to the lobby–restaurant area is a corridor draped in white silks. A breakfast buffet ($16) is plentiful, but it’s dinner at Hangar 300 that you don’t want to miss, with shared plates of fish tacos and burger sliders, alongside mains like Atlantic salmon and Thai chicken salad. The kind staff and lovely touches like Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries keep this hotel on repeat.

The new Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel is a design-lover's dream as renowned interior decorator Kelly Wearstler infuses the property with touches of Mexican modernism to Moroccan and Spanish flourishes. Carved out of a 1926 Renaissance Revival building, this luxury lifestyle property has a lot to praise. The food and beverage outlets are by L.A. food royalty Susan Goin and Carolyn Stine and have posts in the lobby and on the roof with a mix of fresh seafood and Mexican and California cuisine. If you want to splurge, one of the suites has its own pool (and has hosted a litany of celebrity guests), while another has an indoor basketball hoop. The hotel is effortlessly chic, has a stunning rooftop, and is a great new place to hang on lazy weekend days, or fun boozy nights. 

A short stroll from the boardwalk and wharf, this full-service luxury hotel is the only lodging in Santa Cruz directly on the beach, and its rooms all have private balconies or patios overlooking Monterey Bay. Accommodations have contemporary furnishings, muted retro-chic colors, and upscale linens, but the main draw here is having the ocean at your doorstep. In the Jack O'Neill Restaurant and Lounge, named for the famous wet suit inventor and longtime Santa Cruz resident, you can view vintage photos and memorabilia while sipping surf-theme cocktails.

Opened in 2023, the third hotel from a thriving new name in West Coast hospitality is a neutral-toned nirvana that combines a touch of Tulum with mid-century nods and offers a desirable, convenient location and free self-parking; suites and studios can accommodate individuals and couples or families and other groups of varying sizes.  Desert-sojourn musts like a refreshing pool, yoga, lawn games, firepits, and photogenic cacti; and such mod cons as digital check-in, coded room entry, pour-over coffee equipment, and steamers that actually work are included. The on-site Mexican restaurant, Maleza, serves tasty Baja bites like tacos, ceviche, queso fundido (melted cheese with chorizo), and chimichurri chicken.

Built in 1886 and impeccably restored, The Driskill represents a time when people mingled in grandiose settings and continues to epitomize old-world Texas luxury. Each room—decorated with old photos, vintage curios, and refurbished antiques—is unique, so specific requests should be made when reserving. Standard rooms are cramped, but corner rooms showcase nice city views. Reasonably priced suites provide spacious living areas and private balconies that are worth the splurge (try to reserve the LBJ Suite). The 1886 Café & Bakery is worth a visit, as is the elegant bar, which attracts business travelers and savvy downtown revelers with its live music and happy hour.

This reasonably priced, recently refurbished hotel is less than a mile from Universal and offers free Wi-Fi, free parking, free shuttle to Universal, free hot breakfast, free long-distance and local phone calls, and free hot food and cold beverages in the late afternoon.

This upscale, $780 million-dollar project is the next-level vision for Las Vegas casino hotels, especially those away from the Strip, offering rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and bathrooms with oversized showers. Although it was built by Red Rock Resorts—the leader in upscale \"locals casinos\"—this one breaks the template of older properties and deliberately blurs the lines between amenities for hotel guests and those for local patrons. The casino area is a giant boxed-in rectangle (so much for the deliberately confusing layouts of the old days), surrounded by wide pathways and eateries that take advantage of windows and natural light (as well as their own entries). The Bel-Aire Lounge, for instance, has glass doors that flow into the pool area. The George is another indoor-outdoor space, one in which the sports book with giant screens is blended with a restaurant that is this property's version of the 24-hour coffee shop. Eat Your Heart Out is a \"food hall\" with theme park-like facades on each outlet and shared tables in the open as well as \"indoor\" seating inside its Hawaiian, Asian, and pasta shops. The property has been so successful since its late-2023 opening that a $116 million expansion is already underway.

A lush paradise in the heart of Brickell's city center, this tropical, trendy hotel has impeccable art and design elements plus rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the twinkling city—even from the bathtubs. The sustainable design of the hotel is LEED certified, making it one of the greenest properties in the area. Dining options include fifth-floor Quinto La Huella, a meat-centric Uruguayan concept, and Sugar, a rooftop bar with some of the city's best sunset views.

With a quiet, shady courtyard just off the main road leading into the north side of town, this small, reasonably priced 1940s hotel offers suites and rooms with a mix of configurations, from two-bedroom units with kitchens to cozy standard rooms. Although set back from the water on pretty Ecola Creek (just across the street from Les Shirley Park and near the entry road to Ecola State Park) the lodge does have a few rooms with partial ocean views; some units also have gas fireplaces and balconies. All rooms have refrigerators, microwaves, and coffeemakers.

This elegant boutique hotel is an extremely welcome breath of fresh air of nongimmicky, non-tech-oriented space. It would fit right at home in a European capital, which makes sense given that the general theme is Spanish architecture. Above the small lobby is a spectacular salon that serves as a de facto living room where it’s easy to imagine visiting scholars holding court with Stanford professors. Rooms have pleasant tile-like carpet patterns, lovely pillow-top beds, grand marble bathrooms, and side French doors that open to balconies overlooking the beautiful central courtyard with a fountain.

For a combination of aging '50s-era nostalgia and Old West glamour, book a night in El Rancho's Katharine Hepburn or Ronald Reagan room. All units at this 1937 National Register historic property are named for vintage movie stars, many of whom stayed here back when Hollywood Westerns were shot in the region (the connection goes deeper—El Rancho was built by R.E. Griffith, D.W. Griffith's brother). Rooms are basic, accented with Western prints and a few other flourishes. The restaurant ($), open all day, is cozy and serves acceptable American and Mexican food. You can browse through the on-site shop for pottery, kachinas, and sand paintings.

The hotel's European hunting-lodge atmosphere, attractively updated rooms and tile baths, and renowned dining room make it the best place to stay on the South Rim. A registered National Historic Landmark, the "architectural crown jewel of the Grand Canyon" was built in 1905 of Oregon pine logs and native stone. It's usually booked well in advance (up to 13 months ahead), though it's easier to get a room during winter months. Three suites (El Tovar, Fred Harvey, and Mary Jane Colter) and several rooms have canyon views (these book very early), but you can enjoy the view anytime from the expansive back porch.

One of the city's best small hotels, located on posh Commonwealth Avenue, expertly merges the old blue-blood Boston aesthetic with modern flair (like contemporary rugs mingling with crystal chandeliers); everyone from well-heeled Sox fans to traveling CEOs to college parents have noticed. The smallish rooms are smart, not stuffy, and feel a bit French country and a bit Soho chic. The majority of rooms are one-bedroom suites; all have marble-topped bar areas and flat-panel TVs. In most rooms, there are Italian marble walk-in showers. Rooms ending in 02 have views of Commonwealth Avenue; those ending in 04 and 08 are larger corner rooms. Downstairs, chef Ken Oringer's Uni is a spacious, lively izakaya, garnering rave reviews for its contemporary Asian cuisine.

A chic lobby, handpicked modern furnishings, and thoughtful in-room touches are the hallmark of this boutique hotel that provides Southern hospitality in a restored 1913 historic landmark. Each of the rooms has pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen televisions, and Wi-Fi. The MARTA station is across the street, and the city's top attractions are just 10 minutes away.

This former DoubleTree feels like a boutique hotel despite its size, thanks to an endless array of thoughtful touches, from welcome cocktails and staff who remember your name to in-room record players with classic albums like Piano Man and Pet Sounds. Although some rooms are small, the smart use of space, custom furnishings, and hip art and fixtures convey pure luxury. Interior rooms open to a lengthy courtyard, where fountains, a brick fireplace, and ample greenery set the mood. Two terrific on-site restaurants bustle with activity and are popular with locals, especially on weekends.

Visitors and locals like to hang out at The Envoy, where a design-forward aesthetic provides a comfortable yet stylish vibe. Each room features a bright, modern color palette, plus an en suite bathroom. The Rooftop at the Envoy is a popular hot spot for young professionals; come winter, it even features heated domes that can be rented for up to two hours. A 24-hour fitness center includes Peloton bikes.

Brought to you in part by the people behind Bern's Steak House across the street, this vibrant, cuisine-centric installment of Marriott's Autograph Collection hotels is an absolute must for foodies. Food and wine inspire everything—butcher-block tables line walls in the rooms, minibars are stocked with high-end snacks and beverages (mind the prices!), and guests can take part in world-class cooking and cocktail-making courses at the Epicurean Theatre. The Élevage restaurant serves classic dishes reimagined with a modern twist, and the Edge rooftop bar offers intelligent beverage options. Little Midway, an ice-cream parlor and pastry shop, and a wineshop courtesy of Bern's are also on site.

An innovative celebration of the area’s fervor for outdoor recreation, this community-minded 50-room lodging opened in a converted warehouse in the Granary District in 2022 and features such novel amenities as a bouldering gym, a skatepark, a pair of sporting gear shops, bike-tuning and snowboard-waxing services, and winter- and summer-sports rentals. The crisp, contemporary rooms have private patios and well-designed gear storage, and local artwork fills the many stylish common spaces.

Overlooking Fairhaven Village Green, this charming, historic inn overlooks Bellingham Bay; bay-view rooms have balconies and gas fireplaces, and a suite has French doors dividing a bedroom and sitting area. On a clear day the view ranges all the way to the San Juan Islands. It's steps from Fairhaven's restaurants and galleries, and a trail running from downtown Bellingham to the waterfront and Padden Creek passes in front of the inn.

This iconic 14-story building, originally opened in 1926 as the Breakers Hotel and a favorite haunt of celebrities past, reopened in late 2024 as a Long Beach's first luxury boutique hotel, with a blend of classic art deco charm and modern amenities. The hotel's prime location offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the Long Beach skyline. Guests can expect elegantly appointed, neutral guestrooms; famously attentive Fairmont service; and a range of upscale facilities including a rooftop pool, spa, and fitness center. The Fairmont Breakers also boasts several dining options, from the Sky Room penthouse (considered one of the city's finest since 1938) to the light-filled Italian family-style restaurant Nettuno. Hit the Jazz Age-inspired Alter Ego lounge or head up to Halo, the city's only rooftop bar, with 360-degree views. Leave your cares behind with a Fairmont Spa treatment or a workout in the 24-hour, two-level fitness center, surrounded by towering windows.

Since 1912, this decadent and iconic hotel has welcomed guests in style, immediately impressing as they enter under the huge black awning, flanked by golden lion statues, into the lobby decked out in Italian marble, stunning coffered ceilings, and gorgeous crystal chandeliers. Rooms are equally elegant, with soothing colors and upscale amenities. The OAK Long Bar + Kitchen is the place to sip an after-work martini or enjoy dinner and great people-watching. Those who really love pampering should book the Fairmont Gold floor, an ultradeluxe club level offering a dedicated staff, free breakfast and tea-time snacks, and a library. A rooftop fitness area spans 3,000 square feet and is open 24/7 and boasts an outdoor deck. Shoppers will be happy with the hotel’s close proximity to Newbury Street, the Prudential Center, and Copley Place. If you're missing your dog, the hotel’s Canine Ambassador, Cori Copley, the in-house black Labrador retriever, is available for a walk around the neighborhood.

Great for exploring Georgetown, this hotel centers on an elegant central courtyard and gardens, overlooked by the large glassed-in lobby and half of the bright, spacious rooms. Accommodations are furnished with a stylish mix of traditional and contemporary pieces in a soothing palette of gray and white with purple accents. The Juniper restaurant serves Mid-Atlantic fare that might incorporate herbs and honey from the rooftop garden and hives. The hotel's canine ambassador, Georgie, a two-year-old yellow lab, is often in the lobby greeting guests. Children can ask for a copy of her coloring book.

This eminent luxury three-story hotel made the Guinness Book of World Records when its 3.2-million-pound brick bulk was moved six blocks in 1985 to its present location; it's now the pinnacle of high-end boutique hotels in San Antonio. It offers beautifully designed rooms and suites with free Wi-Fi and premium amenities, such as pillow-top bedding, baths with marble and brass appointments, and plush bathrobes. Enjoy fine dining from NONNA Osteria featuring northern Italian cuisine, and the Fairmount Rooftop Oyster Bar. The hotel is not right on the River Walk, but it's fairly close; it's near the convention center and La Villita's shops and restaurants, too.

The newly upgraded rooms offer updated furnishings, linens, and air-conditioning. The property has free Wi-Fi and occasional educational guest speakers. At night, grab appetizers and drinks in the panoramic Far View Lounge or on the rooftop balcony.
