As its name suggests, this is one of the most luxurious hotel experiences in Hawaii, with nine designer suites, each occupying an entire floor and featuring smart-home technology, a large private lanai with a hot tub, two or three bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and spacious bathrooms with saunas. Stylish accents include beautiful Italian marble and Moroccan metalwork. Daily in-room continental breakfast, butlers, and a private luxury car are included in the rate. Guests also have access to private chefs and grocery-shopping services, as well as a small rooftop infinity pool. Mugen, the exclusive Asian Fusion restaurant, is on-site as well.

At "Vermont's Culinary Resort," about 10 miles from downtown Burlington, the Essex's open kitchen allows diners to watch and interact with the chefs, and a sprawling spa incorporates culinary ingredients like salt, honey, lavender, hop oil, and malted barley into the body treatments. Vibrant colors set an upbeat mood in comfortable guest rooms, many of which have fireplaces. The resort partners with the nearby Essex Experience, a smartly redeveloped outlet mall full of locally owned restaurants, boutiques, and a performing arts venue, to host events.

With its rambling California mission–style architecture and brilliant gardens, this resort on what once was a famous equestrian ranch exudes rustic elegance. In 2024, Estancia unveiled a $26 million renovation, adding two new culinary concepts including The Trading Post Café and The Palma Pool Bar—both of which complement the refurbished pool deck and cabanas. Pet-friendly rooms have private lawns for four-legged friends and include pet-packages with grain-free munchies and plush beds. Slightly removed from downtown La Jolla, there are plenty of in-house dining options set around an antique hacienda with adobe brick. Tucked within the nine acres are secret gardens where weekend yoga is held, and an outdoor games library where you can make your move under a starry sky. The Torrey Pines Golf Course is less than 1 mile from the hotel.

This three-story B&B is named for Etta Place, the girlfriend of the Sundance Kid. It originally served as living quarters for traveling artists who performed at Caravan of Dreams (now Reata restaurant) at Sundance Square (which is just around the corner) during the 1980s. A handsome music room has a baby grand Steinway. Smoking is not permitted. Some rooms have refrigerators. The honeymoon suite has a Jacuzzi tub for two.

Long a summer favorite, this peaceful motel is set back from the main road, surrounded by 5 acres of trees and lawns, which include a 60-foot indoor pool. Rooms have simple modern furnishings—choose from doubles, two-room family suites, and efficiencies with kitchens. Cottages, sprinkled around the property, are available for stays of a week or longer.

A short drive from Woodbury's antiques shops and restaurants, this Federal Colonial house (circa 1818) offers a bounty of pleasing comforts—from high-quality antique furnishings and soft bedding with lots of pillows to floral gardens and a stone-and-granite pool surrounded by a private hedge. A full breakfast is served in the formal dining room, in which you can also arrange—with advance notice—a romantic dinner.

Amid the trees near Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy entrance, this sprawling property is perfect for families. The cabin complex includes a recreation center, playground, amphitheater, large room with games for all ages, restaurant, gift shop, pool, and activities desk where you can sign up for more than 30 guided tours. The cabins are wood-paneled and cozy. The roadhouse-style restaurant serves everything from bean burgers to barbecued game and lobster risotto. The historic bar has a friendly feel, perhaps owing to the frequent live music. Multinight stays are required from April through October, as well as on holidays. You can also stay in two- to four-person tents in summer.

A golf course, a spa, a heated swimming pool, an ice skating rink, a chairlift to the mountain, groomed cross-country ski tracks, and several restaurants please the well-heeled patrons of this full-service resort within Hyatt's Destination brand. The accommodations are decorated in warm earth tones, with wooden furnishings; about half the units are suites (up to three bedrooms) with fireplaces and kitchens. The resort makes the most of its gorgeous valley setting surrounded by forested mountains—expansive windows in all the rooms and massive ones in the lobby yield breathtaking views.

Just a block from the trendy dining along Southeast Portland's hip Division Street, this beautifully restored, 1909 Arts and Crafts–style mansion contains spacious, light-filled rooms, some with private balconies, claw-foot soaking tubs, and good-size sitting areas; one detached suite has a full kitchen, and a cozy and romantic third-floor room has skylights and pitched ceilings. Guests can relax and mingle in the large common areas, which include a guest kitchen. The owners also operate the smaller and simpler Bluebird Guesthouse a few blocks away at 3517 S.E. Division Street, in the heart of the neighborhood's restaurant row.

The giant castle is popular with families—child-oriented attractions include the basement arcade (dubbed the Fun Dungeon) and the medieval-theme Tournament of Kings dinner show—but recent makeovers in all of the property's rooms make much of it look more grown-up (though still nondescript). The immense casino floor has lower table minimums than many other casinos on the South Strip, and restaurants such as Dick's Last Resort generally serve food more fit for an indentured servant than a king. The casino also offers free monorail service to Luxor and Mandalay Bay.

Directly across the street from the American Museum of Natural History, this well-kept, old-school spot has rooms with warm lighting, comfortable beds, and work desks that have ergonomic chairs. The hotel restaurant, Calle Ocho, is a Latin-fusion spot that serves lunch and dinner alongside a cocktail list full of refreshing choices. The library lounge—with leather sofas, a cozy fireplace, and tables with built-in game boards—is an unexpected plus. On the negative side is a staff that sometimes seems too busy to focus on customer service.

Quiet sophistication, attention to architectural detail, and rooms furnished in a refreshingly understated manner, each with a marble-and-tile bath and some with fireplaces, suggest a European inn. The rates include a delicious breakfast. 

This hotel is affordable, clean, and quiet, and has an indoor heated pool and hot tub. The staff can direct you to interesting local sights, scenic viewpoints, and perhaps even a good local fishing hole.

This Fairfield Inn looks like every other in the chain, but it's clean and comfortable, with easy access to all of San Antonio's downtown sights. The good location also puts it two blocks from Market Square and a quick VIA bus ride to the River Walk and the Alamo. There's a 24-hour fitness center and a free hot breakfast buffet.

In the heart of Brady Arts District, downtown Tulsa's newest hotel (opened November 2012) is all about convenience. It's one block from the new Woody Guthrie Memorial; three blocks from Cain's Ballroom; just a half mile from Tulsa Convention Center, BOK Center, and ONEOK Field (home of the Tulsa Drillers); and less than a mile from the University of Oklahoma's Tulsa campus. It's all bright and modern, and rooms are spacious, with 32-inch flat-screen television, mini-refrigerators, and microwave. Two restaurants offer the choice of steak-house cuisine or Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare.

Well situated in the middle of the downtown shopping district, this Marriott-owned property is ideal for business travelers, with spacious rooms that sport small sitting areas and large desks. A hot breakfast is included, and the hotel features a small fitness center and a decent-size indoor pool. There is an extra charge for parking, unusual in a small town like this.

This Fairfield Inn lives up to its green designation, with energy-saving construction elements and a 30-foot grain silo located in the courtyard that captures rainwater and is used for landscaping. It’s quite attractive for a budget hotel, with a red brick façade and outdoor garden. Inside, each of the 154 rooms feature pillow-top mattresses, free Wi-Fi, and a complimentary hot breakfast. The Tavern 101 restaurant serves lunch and dinner.

This bright, clean, and reliable hotel is a favorite for business travelers and casual tourists alike. There is a  generous complimentary breakfast included with each booking, an indoor jacuzzi, a fitness center, a cozy rooftop bar with fire pits where guests can enjoy hearty plates of nachos and house-made burgers, and plenty of quiet areas for getting a bit of work done.

The Fairfield is a good value for travelers who don't require room service or a fancy spa. It's predictable Fairfield fare: rooms are comfortable; the hotel has centers for business and fitness and an outdoor pool and whirlpool; breakfast is complimentary and includes fresh fruit and pastries. The hotel sits across from Lake Worth Beach and its small retail promenade.

The nicest (and newest) hotel in town offers rooms that are tastefully decorated with warm walls and dark carpeting, each with a microwave and refrigerator. The lobby is modern and quirky with brightly colored furniture, and the relaxing pool and hot tub room features a wall of windows. The free hot breakfast buffet is a nice perk.

The largest hotel in southern Utah may be a pretty conventional mid-range chain property, but it also offers some appealing perks, including large and separate kid and adult pools, expansive canyon vistas, and significantly cheaper rates than hotels in Springdale, which is less than a 20-minute drive.

Bold, contemporary design provides a soothing retreat in a busy part of town, near many top attractions like the Capital One Arena, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Mall. The Metro is a few blocks away, as are the shops, restaurants, and clubs that have grown up in this bustling neighborhood. Recently renovated, the rooms are modern and spacious. The pub attached to the hotel serves meals and has something of a cult following among Guinness lovers; the owners have gone to great lengths to install the proper taps and train bartenders in the ways of the double pour.

It's unusual to find a midrange chain property set in a historic building on a picturesque downtown Main Street, but this well-kept hotel—inside the restored early 1900s Goodnow department store—is a rarity with its reasonably priced rooms, exposed-brick walls, 12-foot ceilings, and modern furnishings. Some suites have stairs that lead to an upper level and come with two bathrooms. There's a fitness room, and you can get food delivered from the restaurant next door.

Queens is home to two of New York's major airports, and LaGuardia is much closer to the action than John F. Kennedy. Fairfield Inn by Marriott New York LaGuardia Airport/Astoria is overall a no-frills accommodation, and offers a complimentary shuttle from LGA. It's close to some of Astoria's top restaurants, but you won't need that convenience for the first meal of the day since a fantastic continental breakfast is included with your stay.

You won't find many frills, but you should find a comfortable room and pleasant service. The hotel shares amenities with the connected Courtyard by Marriott at Market Center. Families enjoy the indoor pool.

As far as airport hotels are concerned, this Fairfield Inn is standard, but its staff has a reputation for being quite accommodating. A business center, an indoor pool, free Wi-Fi, and standard rooms equipped with flexible workstations make it a reliable choice for business travel, even with kids in tow; a 24-hour shuttle service runs guests to and from Philadelphia International Airport free of charge.

Just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Batman building and three blocks from the hustle and bustle of the honky-tonks sits this boutique hotel resplendent with ’70s retro-modern flair befitting its past history as a bank building. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural light and views of the Nashville skyline in each room.
