Home of the Tournament Players Club Stadium golf course and the Phoenix Open, this resort covers 450 breathtakingly landscaped acres of desert. Well & Being, one of the top spa spots in the country, has a dramatic rooftop pool, and kids love the fishing pond. Rooms are done in a chic blend of contemporary styles, as are the Fairmont Gold hotel-within-a-hotel boutique rooms. Service is what you'd expect at a resort of this caliber: excellent and unobtrusive. It is also home to the acclaimed Bourbon Steak restaurant.

The draw at this mission-style resort is the extensive spa with its array of massages and treatments, some designed for couples. The focus on fitness and rejuvenation extends to an adjacent 7,100-yard golf course winding through trees and vineyards, a changing schedule of fitness classes, and guided hiking excursions on Fridays and weekends. Fairmont and Deluxe guest rooms aren't large (some of the former are less than 300 square feet) but are supremely comfortable; some have patios or balconies. Vineyard (500 square feet) and Mission (550 square feet) suites feel roomier and have fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs. Most Vineyard Suites have patios or balconies, as do some Mission ones. A few Legacy Collection one-bedroom suites range from 600 to 1,010 square feet. The chefs at the resort's Santé restaurant prepare modern American cuisine.

This luxurious 1908 Colonial Revival mansion in Jackson's historic Belhaven neighborhood discreetly notes a continually growing list of global royalty, entertainment celebrities, media personalities, and sports figures who have been pampered with Southern hospitality here. A new full-service restaurant (closed Saturday; brunch only on Sunday) opened on-site in 2014, but the full breakfast is still served daily in the "big house," and the Library Lounge continues to dispense drinks, appetizers, and small plates. Codes for monthly specials are available on its website.

Centrally located halfway between Longwood Gardens and Winterthur, this three-building B&B on well-tended grounds sets itself apart from others with bright, uncluttered rooms stylishly furnished for modern but still traditional tastes in white, cream, and light gray with mostly wood floors.

The main house has a living room with a fireplace, a hospitality room with snacks like popcorn and cookies, and a room with tables for breakfast.

A two-story spa offers treatments to guests and the public. A small selection of village shops includes the excellent McIntyre's Books, but otherwise guests will need to drive 15 minutes into Chapel Hill for other shops and dining.

With a large modern wing attached to a historic Federal house, this refined hotel offers an airy, contemporary atmosphere blended with period-appropriate warmth.

This luxury inn's elegant, tree-shaded main building occupies a prime downtown corner, and its spacious accommodations, all completely updated in 2023, have fireplaces and include a complimentary wine tasting for two at Parker family tasting rooms. Nella, a modern Italian-inspired bar and restaurant on the first floor, serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.

This boutique enterprise just north of Stowe village is a whimsically stylish alternative to the town's staid resorts. Modern furniture, white woolen rugs, and rough-hewn wooden beams add texture and dazzle the eye in the unique lobby, while in guest rooms, paper deer-head sculptures look down from gas hearths, subtle animal prints rest on beds, and nature-theme wallpaper calls out accent walls. The lodge's Après Only bar brings 1980s nostalgia to your post-ski plans, with vintage snowsuits as décor and roaring fireplaces.

If you like to shop, eat, and rest your head in a cozy, simple place, you can do all three at this pet-friendly, family-owned inn.

All come with a \"maxi\" bar with full-size everything (the soft drinks and snacks are complimentary), sumptuous decor, and bespoke toiletries. A free breakfast is served daily in a sunlit, guest-only atrium, whipped up by celebrated chef Andrew Carmellini (of Locande Verde, Lafayette, and The Dutch fame), whose first namesake restaurant, the swish Café Carmellini downstairs, delivers Tuscan fare in a dazzling two-story space.

An exclusive private island, just south of Miami Beach but accessible only by ferry, Fisher Island houses an upscale residential community that includes a small inventory of overnight accommodations, including opulent cottages, villas, and junior suites, which surround the island's original 1920s-era Vanderbilt mansion. Hotel guests enjoy Fisher Island member privileges during their stay. After the ferry crossing, you're welcomed at reception with champagne. Considering you get a private house, a golf cart, and a private courtyard with a Jacuzzi, villas are idyllic for a memorable honeymoon or some other special occasion, if not a casual weekend. Families should choose one of three former guest cottages of the former Italianate mansion of William K. Vanderbilt, which forms the resort's centerpiece.

Amenities include a 9-hole golf course, luxurious Spa Internazionale, 18 lighted tennis courts (hard, grass, and clay), and 1 mile of very private (and very quiet) beach with white sand imported from the Bahamas. On-island there are seven restaurants for hotel guests, including the alfresco waterfront Beach Club, an Italian fine-dining restaurant called Porto Cervo, and the famous Garwood Lounge & Piano Bar, which features nightly piano music and seats just 34. Remarkably, this true exclusivity and seclusion is minutes from South Beach.

This family-operated, all-inclusive lodge offers clean, comfortable cabins with twin beds and propane heating and lights, daily fishing and sightseeing by jet-boat, and home-cooked meals, sometimes served along the water. It sits on Bristol Bay's Peace River in the center of Wood-Tikchik Park near Kulik Spires. There's a maximum of 8 guests at the lodge each week, with daily fly-fishing excursions for rainbow trout, arctic char, arctic grayling, northern pike, and sockeye salmon.

This beautifully restored Victorian inn, set amid delightful gardens on a side road in East Boothbay, is one of the last of the many turn-of-the-20th-century hotels that once welcomed guests to the area.

Bring your kayaks and access the water directly from the property. The broad porch overlooking the bay has plenty of comfy chairs from which to enjoy the view along with your breakfast, which features such specialties as bacon and blue cheese quiche and orange-ricotta pancakes.

The bed-and-breakfast home also emcompasses a fine needlepoint shop, B's Stitches, and an upscale pet boutique, Flying Fred's.

This elaborately landscaped, pink, classic-era resort with a 15-acre pool complex (undergoing a major renovation at this writing) is still one of the best choices in town. GO rooms, with electronic window treatments and other high-tech touches, are downright stylish, and Fab Rooms feature vintage Las Vegas artwork. One-bedroom Cosmopolitan Suites are decorated in chocolate browns and hot pinks. Be sure to check out the on-site wildlife area, complete with a koi pond and, naturally, a flamboyance of Chilean flamingos. Two other big attractions: the 7,000-square-foot Pinky's by Vanderpump, and The LINQ Promenade—a retail, dining, and entertainment complex that's next door.

If Don Draper from Mad Men popped into this 1950s motel-hotel hybrid 2¼ miles northeast of downtown Santa Rosa, he'd feel right at home. Guest rooms, all with refrigerators and coffeemakers, retain their high ceilings and that old-school flair. They're spread out in several fieldstone-clad buildings connected by glass-enclosed walkways encircling the Olympic-size outdoor pool. The suites and premium rooms, some with poolside patios, are spacious, and all the rooms have retro decor touches. From certain angles, the Flamingo exudes mid-century style, but although it has a large central pool, a spa, and a fitness center, the place feels more motor lodge than resort. One plus is the poolside Lazeaway Club restaurant and bar, with tropical-themed drinks and a party atmosphere. Sunday poolside brunch is a treat.

A tranquil, nicely landscaped inn with canyon views and a small pool, Flanigan's offers spacious, elegantly appointed accommodations, including two private villas and suites that sleep six; some units have a patio or a deck. If you want pampering after a hard day of hiking, arrange a massage at the well-outfitted spa, which offers a wide array of services.
