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.

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.

In the heart of Brady Arts District, downtown Tulsa's newest hotel (opened November 2012) is all about convenience.

Two restaurants offer the choice of steak-house cuisine or Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare.

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.

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.

Fellow guests mingle and chat about their days on the slopes in the house's many common areas.

A wine and cheese reception is also offered each Monday and Friday.

This resort between Anaconda and Butte is a great option for families. Although not much to look at, the Fairmont (not affiliated with the similarly named luxury hotel chain) has naturally heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a 350-foot waterslide, a playground, and a day spa in a beautiful setting. There's also an 18-hole golf course on the grounds.

Be sure to join the chain's loyalty program to avoid paying for Internet access.

There's also an on-site spa, cultural classes, and wellness programs. The family-friendly and adults-only pool options offer something for everyone.

A mammoth Moreton Bay fig tree dwarfs the main entrance of the 5-acre, beach-adjacent Santa Monica wellness retreat and lends its name to the inviting on-site Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, FIG, which focuses on local ingredients and frequently refreshes its menu. Originally the site of a senator and Santa Monica cofounder's private mansion, this property now houses a mini enclave within the bustle of Santa Monica. The modernized lobby lounge houses a koi pond, waterfall, and games and opens onto a heated patio. Sit end enjoy Sazerac cocktails prepared tableside, or sushi from the resort's exquisitely tiny Soko sushi bar, carved out of a former storage area. Low-rise and extremely luxurious, residential-style bungalows built between 1920 and 1946 (and recently refreshed) are outfitted like mini-mansions. Standard rooms in the historic 10-story tower offer tight quarters, but they do come with beautiful ocean views, California decor, and fluffy duvets. The in-house Exhale Spa offers exercise classes and massages; all guests receive one free class per stay. There's also a gym with Peloton bikes. The pool area and seasonal beach club cater to guests wanting to play in the sun. Eco-conscious efforts include complimentary EV charging stations (after you pay the $70 parking fee) and "green" meetings. The $50 daily resort fee includes premium Wi-Fi, beach cruiser usage, a $25 Soko credit, and more.

Dominating the top of Nob Hill like a European palace, the Fairmont indulges guests in luxury: rooms in the main building, adorned in muted earth tones with sapphire blue accents, have high ceilings, decadent beds, and marble bathrooms, while rooms in the newer Tower, many with fine views, have a neutral color palette with bright-silver notes. Architect Julia Morgan's timeless 1907 lobby design includes alabaster walls and gilt-embellished ceilings supported by Corinthian columns. Amenities and special services—like free chicken soup if you're under the weather—keep guests coming back. Don't miss drinks at the Tonga Room, an over-the-top tiki lounge serving tropical cocktails. It's also a winter wonderland during the holiday season, with a giant gingerbread house anchoring the lobby each December.
