Residence Inn by Marriott Philadelphia Bala Cynwyd

$$$ | 615 Righters Ferry Rd., Bala Cynwyd, PA, 19004, USA

This hotel, part of the Ironworks at Pencoyd Landing, is a great option for those who want to be within 10 to 15 minutes of Manayunk and its nearby neighborhoods, as well as Center City, Old City, West Philly, and Fairmount, yet also want to have some space to stretch out (and be in the same building as Lark, one of the finest restaurants around). While the hotel caters particularly to visitors of nearby colleges, if you like to hike and bike, you can't beat this location close to the trails—the Schuykill River Path is across the pedestrian bridge, access to the edge of Wissahickon Valley Park is across that same bridge and then across the street, and the Cynwyd Heritage Trail is on the side of the hotel facing the river, also the best side to secure a room, which are all suites. The outside is quite spectacular, as the hotel was built within the framework of the old iron works, with gigantic metal beams interconnecting high above. The rooms themselves, though spacious with living room and kitchen areas, lack personality. There is a nice sized pool in an atrium that looks out on the river. Access to Manayunk is just across the one lane bridge—you can walk or bike across it, but only people who live in nearby condos can drive their cars across it. Manayunk's main action is a good 10-minute walk upstream on Main Street.

Pros

  • Great location with a pool
  • Excellent dining
  • Best access to bike trails

Cons

  • Rooms lack style
  • Can't drive on bridge to Manayunk
  • No stores nearby for stocking kitchen

Residence Inn by Marriott Philadelphia Center City

$ | 1 E. Penn Sq., Philadelphia, PA, 19107, USA

  • Centrally located

  • Nice option for families

Cons

  • Pricey parking

Residence Inn Santa Fe

$$ | 1698 Galisteo St., Santa Fe, NM, 87505, USA

This compound consists of clusters of three-story town houses with pitched roofs and tall chimneys. Best bets for families or up to four adults traveling together are the one-room penthouse suites, which each have a loft bedroom and a separate sitting area (with a curtain divider) that has a Murphy bed. All units have wood-burning fireplaces and there is a nice pool on the property. It's right off a major intersection about 3 miles south of the Plaza, but it's set back far enough that there's little regular traffic noise. Ask for one of the second-floor end units for the best mountain views.

Pros

  • Complimentary full breakfast
  • Evening socials
  • Grocery-shopping service

Cons

  • Not many restaurants or attractions within easy walking distance
  • Near hospital so there can be siren noise
  • Very busy business area

Residence Inn–RiverPlace

$$$ | 2115 S.W. River Pkwy., Portland, OR, 97201, USA

This contemporary all-suites hotel in the modern, mixed-use RiverPlace neighborhood is one of the few Portland lodgings right on the Willamette River. Set in the southern edge of downtown, this midrise hotel is in a refreshingly uncrowded area but a little far on foot from downtown's prime cultural and dining neighborhoods. It's a favorite of extended-stay visitors, as all rooms have full kitchens and many have more than one bedroom. There's a well-equipped fitness center and an indoor pool, and rates include a full breakfast along with evening socials with free appetizers and drinks.

Resort at Eagle Point

$$ | 100 Eagle Point Dr., OR, 97524, USA

The setting adjacent to one of the state's top golf courses is a major draw for this small boutique hotel with a dozen contemporary chalet-style suites featuring fireplaces and either balconies or patios. With sweeping mountain views, this serene compound is also a great lodging option if you prefer a quiet location that's en route to Crater Lake and close to area hiking as well as several wineries. 

Pros

  • Welcoming and friendly staff
  • Rates include a fantastic cooked-to-order breakfast
  • Excellent on-site dining options

Cons

  • Remote setting about a 20-minute drive from Medford
  • Setting is less exciting for nongolfers

The Retreat on Charleston Peak

$$ | 2755 Kyle Canyon Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89124, USA

This three-story resort is the first stop along Kyle Canyon Road (about 17 miles up). It has the feel of a lodge, including a four-sided stone fireplace to gather around in the spacious lobby, which is appointed with vintage pinball games. The Canyon Restaurant provides large-window views of the surrounding mountainscape. There is a cocktail lounge with a rotating selection of regional beers on tap and a pool table, and a 24-hour convenience store/snackbar where you can pick up a map pinpointing the area's hiking trails. The hotel has 61 rooms with flat-screen TVs, and some have wall heaters that look like wood-burning fireplaces. Outdoor seating around the property provides a great way to take in the majestic scenery.

Pros

  • Mountain setting
  • Special packages
  • Generally not as crowded as other Mt. Charleston resort

Cons

  • Not as high up the mountain as the other lodge
  • Not much to do in immediate vicinity without getting back in a car
  • Bar is small and doesn't seat many

Revere Hotel Boston Common

Although contemporary, guest rooms are outfitted with leather and rustic finishes, include a workspace, and each has a balcony. There is an entire floor dedicated to guests traveling with pets, and another floor that's entirely allergen-free. 

Pros

The Revolution Hotel

$$ | 40 Berkeley St., Boston, MA, 02116, USA

An affordable option in a sea of sky-high rates, this art-filled hotel is an intriguing mix of luxurious touches—like pillow-top beds and a Peloton bike in the gym—and more downscale amenities, like shared bathrooms and tiny rooms. For those who don't mind some odd quirks (the lobby is a giant 65-foot spray-painted artwork), the price is right for this South End spot. Families especially like the newly added Lofts next door to the main hotel building. The hotel boasts an on-site Cal-Mex restaurant, Cosmica.

Pros

  • Whimsical original artwork
  • Inexpensive
  • Bike rentals

Cons

Rio Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

$ | 3700 W. Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89103, USA

This sprawling resort with spacious rooms just west of the Strip was pioneering in its appeal to locals and visitors but fell on post-pandemic hard times before new owners, Dreamscape Cos., started sinking money into a complete renovation, but room renovations are still ongoing. By the end of 2024, the $350-million refurbishment was evident on the casino floor, with new furniture, carpeting, and wall coverings—even the new Lapa Lounge at the center of it all. The Rio's pioneering buffet became a permanent casualty of the pandemic (as did most Las Vegas buffets), but was replaced by the Canteen Food Hall, with sushi, ramen, and burgers among the choices. The sprawling pool area, another stand-out of the old days, received a complete overhaul as well. And after a five-year absence, the 51st-floor VooDoo Lounge reopened in early 2025. More than half of the rooms had been remodeled by the end of 2024 as well. The standard so-called \"suites\" don't actually have separate bedrooms, but they're spacious (at least 600 square feet), and higher-end units have double whirlpool tubs, wet bars, and other cushy touches. And the place makes up for its distance to the Strip by having plenty of entertainment options under one roof, including Penn & Teller, a family-friendly, old-school variety revue called Wow!, and a branch of New York's Comedy Cellar.

Pros

  • Spacious rooms with views
  • Several in-house show choices
  • Four pool areas

Cons

  • Just off-Strip enough to be inconvenient
  • Players club no longer part of larger network
  • Loss of signature restaurants and attractions

The Rittenhouse

$$$ | 210 W. Rittenhouse Sq., Philadelphia, PA, 19103, USA

From providing personal items that travelers commonly forget to dressing the pillows of weekend guests with chocolate-covered strawberries, the staff is among the most accommodating in the city. The 33-story building's sawtooth design gives the large guest rooms unusual shapes, with nooks and alcoves; many of the rooms overlook the famous square that gives the hotel its name. Each room has a large marble bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower; many also have whirlpool tubs. Other amenities include an on-site salon and spa and a contemporary fitness center with sauna and steam services and a pool. The modern French restaurant, Lacroix, is among the most elegant dining experiences in the city, and it's also known for its opulent buffet brunch. The Italian restaurant, Scarpetta, is an offshoot of LDV Hospitality's nationwide, exclusive eatery.

Pros

  • Great service without the stuffiness
  • 24-hour room service
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi
  • Among the largest rooms for luxury hotels
  • Quiet

Cons

  • Furniture can seem a bit dated
  • Pricey

The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington, D.C.

$$$$ | 3100 South St. NW, Washington, DC, 20037, USA

Once an incinerator dating from the 1920s, this building still topped with a smokestack might seem the most unlikely of places for a luxury hotel, but settle into one of the large and chicly designed guest rooms. A fire theme unites the intimate spaces, a complete departure from the chain's more traditional style, while exceptionally spacious guest rooms, outfitted in restful hues of mint and gray, convey the opposite effect. If you're looking for a place to relax, its modern spa is small but luxurious, with a relaxation lounge, steam room, and treatment rooms. Have a drink at The Living Room, the lobby bar with a warm decor of exposed brick walls, a wood fireplace, and live DJ lounge music on the weekends. 

Pros

  • Excellent new spa and fitness center

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, NoMad

$$$$ | 25 W. 28th St., New York, NY, 10001, USA
Occupying a new, luxury 50-story building at the northern end of NoMad, this sleek, all-glass hotel is a departure for the Ritz brand, thanks to its emerging neighborhood, versus tried and true, location. Its double height doors whisk guests into a soothing interior of neutral, light-filled rooms paired with a food and beverage program helmed by Michelin-starred chef José Andrés. Andrés ground-floor restaurant, Zaytinya, runs Mediterranean; The Bazaar mixes Spanish and Japanese influences; and his plush rooftop bar, Nubeluz, serves tapas and cocktails alongside floor-to-ceiling windows with near-panoramic views. Request a room on the 22nd floor or above for downtown views, along with all the creature comforts you'd expect of the brand. 
\n

Pros

  • 6,800-square-foot Ritz-Carlton Spa
  • José Andrés–run restaurants and rooftop bar
  • High-floor rooms have fab downtown views

Cons

The Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey

$$$$ | 4375 Admiralty Way, Marina del Ray, CA, 90292, USA

You might have a sense of déjà vu here—this resort, overlooking L.A.'s largest marina's boats, is a favorite location of dozens of TV and film productions. Traditionally styled rooms are decked out in warm gold tones with French doors, marble baths, and feather beds. Dine outside for a waterside view at Cast & Plow, the hotel's farm-to-table restaurant, or kick back in the clublike lobby lounge or the seasonal poolside Wave Bar and Grill. Families love the 24/7 pool's saline purification system as well as the welcome gifts and scavenger hunts for kids. Club-level rooms are worth the price as food and drinks are available throughout the day in the private lounge. Some rooms come equipped with their own Peloton. Be sure to check out the lovely Sisley Spa.

Pros

  • Sparkling gym and large, kid-friendly, chlorine-free pool
  • Chic restaurant Cast and Plow on-site
  • Feather beds and marble baths in rooms

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach

$$$$ | 383 Kalaimoku St., Honolulu, HI, 96815, USA

The only Ritz-Carlton on Oahu welcomes well-heeled guests from across the globe with its signature elegance and impeccable service. Although the beach is a 10-minute walk away through Fort DeRussy Park, the hotel's two infinity pools with cabanas are lovely sunbathing alternatives. As the name implies, the hotel is part residential condo and part resort, with studios and one- to three-bedroom suites that have gourmet kitchens and ocean views. On-site dining options include La Vie, which features a French tasting menu; Sushi Sho, a single-table gourmet experience; and Quiora, an Italian restaurant that sources ingredients locally. The hotel is also home to upscale grocer Dean & DeLuca, a 24-hour fitness center, and a luxury spa, and there's endless shopping in the immediate area.

Pros

  • Very private setting
  • Luxuriously appointed accommodations with kitchens
  • Pampering service and pools with views

Cons

  • Not close to the beach
  • Pricey, particularly given distance from beach

Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta

$$$ | 181 Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA, 30303, USA

For a luxury experience with useful business amenities, the Ritz can't be beat. The size of the rooms is comparable to other Downtown properties but with business-minded touches such as a valet complete with shoeshine, and a desk with AV connections for in-room presentation prep. Try the on-site AG restaurant, which has a steak house focus, along with Southern-accented specialties like she-crab soup and fried green tomatoes. The eatery's terrace is one of Downtown's few outdoor dining spots. MARTA's Peachtree Center station is nearby.

Pros

  • Top-notch restaurant
  • Ideal for doing business Downtown
  • Impeccable service

Cons

  • The standard rooms can feel small and dated compared to newer options

The Ritz-Carlton, Boston

With views overlooking the start of Boston's theater district (or the city's iconic Boston Common park), this luxury hotel that put the name in puttin' on the Ritz continues to offer the height of pampering. Stop by the popular Avery Bar for martinis, or just enjoy an evening in your room—a range of suites and guest rooms accommodates most travelers with comforts like Frette linens, writing desks, and a cool palate tone. Booking a Club Access room includes loads more amenities, including complimentary breakfast, food and drink throughout the day, access to Equinox Sports Club, and more.

Pros

  • Soundproof windows that open
  • Lots of extras for families with children
  • Short walk to Downtown Crossing, the Theater District, and Newbury Street

Cons

  • Fitness center pool is adults only

The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles

$$$$ | 900 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90015, USA

This citified Ritz-Carlton on the 23rd–26th floors of a 54-story tower within Downtown's L.A. Live entertainment complex features skyline views through expansive windows, blond woods, and smartened-up amenities including a flat-screen TV hidden in the bathroom mirror. Within steps of L.A.'s vast convention center, the Ritz has its own small lobby and rooftop pool separate from the JW Marriott, also in the same shiny skyscraper. The hotel recently completed an art deco--inspired renovation of the lobby, guest rooms and suites, corridors, and Club Lounge. Feather-topped beds are comfortable as can be and have handy bedside spotlights; most rooms have a sunken tub and shower. Club-level rooms include access to a large western-facing lounge (unequaled for sunset views) that offers a daily buffet of five light meals.

Pros

  • Designer spa
  • Rooftop pool
  • Daily buffet for Club Level

Cons

  • Expensive valet parking ($54)
  • Corporate feel
  • Mandatory daily fee of $30
