Generator Miami

$ | 3120 Collins Ave, Miami, FL, 33140, USA

The art-deco, bright Miami vibe oozes through this hotel only steps away from the beach and main attractions of Mid-Beach.

  • Bright and social lobby
  • A place for all ages

Genesee Country Inn

$$ | 948 George St., Mumford, NY, 14511, USA

This exquisitely restored 1833 mill sits in a rural town en route to Letchworth State Park. Rooms are immaculate and decorated in historic country-cottage style with handcrafted and antique pieces. A bubbling creek with a waterfall runs alongside the inn, in view of the patio and flowering garden. The huge breakfast, with homemade granola and maple syrup tapped on-site is a high point.

Geneva on the Lake

$$$$ | 1001 Lochland Rd., Geneva, NY, 14456, USA

Here's a slice of Europe at the edge of Seneca Lake. Formally manicured grounds and Italian Renaissance architecture call to mind Tuscany. The stunning white manor house, built in 1914, has fireplaces of imported marble and rich upholstery and tapestries. Rooms are furnished with different styles of Stickley furniture. Ten suites have two bedrooms. Studios have living rooms and Murphy beds. Spend a summer afternoon playing lawn games, fishing, or taking a pontoon boat ride on Seneca Lake.

Pros

  • Lovely formal gardens
  • Pool overlooking the lake
  • Stately historic property

Cons

  • Small dining room
  • Long gaps between room renovations

The George

$$$ | 492 Randolph St., Napa, CA, 94559, USA

Tall palms tower over this restored three-story boutique inn, an elaborate 1891 Queen Anne–style structure once dubbed "the handsomest house in town.” The inn is decorated in a palette of soft whites, grays, and occasional browns, and the guest rooms contain custom-made beds with plush headboards outfitted with top-of-the-line mattresses and bedding. Each room enchants in its way. A second-floor corner room, for instance, has a rounded-bay-window sitting area, a marble-clad shower for two, and a generous spaciousness that makes it ideal for extended stays. A smaller third-floor accommodation in the middle of the house, its ceilings at artistically odd angles, is a cozy delight for one or two nights.

Pros

  • Period character with contemporary style
  • In a quiet neighborhood but only a few blocks from downtown
  • High ceilings add to feeling of spaciousness

Cons

  • First come, first served on-site parking (though ample street spaces in vicinity)
  • No elevator (but one ground-floor ADA room)
  • Per website, inn “is best suited for guests over 12"

The George Washington Hotel

$$ | 103 E. Picadilly St., Winchester, VA, 22601, USA

Located within walking distance of all of the charming town's attractions, this historic hotel once hosted the many celebrities, such as Ed Sullivan, who served as Grand Marshall at the Shenandoah Valley Apple Blossom Parade. Originally built in 1924, the stunning lobby with its original Tennessee marble floors features a pictorial history of the grand hotel, along with a hip new lounge and upscale restaurant called the Dancing Goat. As it's now part of the Wyndham group, guests can expect rooms furnished with period reproductions, luxury bedding, and modern amenities, from flat screens to high-speed Internet.

Pros

  • Great location in historic downtown
  • Good restaurant

Cons

  • Smallish rooms
  • Can be noisy when hosting special events in the ballroom

Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center

$$ | 800 Spring St. NW, Atlanta, GA, 30308, USA

In the heart of Midtown on the Georgia Tech campus, this gleaming building gets kudos for its comfortable, contemporary decor, and a staff that understands the needs of business travelers and meeting organizers. It also bursts with Georgia Tech pride, hosting the famed "Ramblin' Wreck"—a 1930 Ford Model A that serves as the mascot for the university's students—in its lobby. You hardly need to be a Yellow Jacket past or present to enjoy your stay, however.

Pros

  • Pleasant views of the skyline
  • Walking distance to eateries and attractions
  • Friendly, accommodating staff

Cons

  • Short on charm
  • Heavy student traffic when school's in session
  • Lacks luxurious bedding and beds

The Georgian

$$$$ | 384 Canada St., Lake George, NY, 12845, USA

The sprawling, family-owned resort has a private beach and a marina. Rooms have views of the lake, the pool, or the courtyard; some have private balconies or patios. Suites have sitting areas with sleeper sofas. Traditional dark-wood furniture is used throughout. The main dining room ($$–$$$) serves mostly Continental fare: steak au poivre, lobster ravioli, roast rack of lamb, scampi, and chateaubriand. From mid-May through October, the Terrace Room hosts dinner theater.

Pros

  • Situated right in the center of Lake George

Cons

  • Accommodations are getting a little shabby

The Georgian Hotel

$$$$ | 1415 Ocean Ave., Los Angeles, CA, 90401, USA

Driving by, you can't miss the Georgian, a Wes Anderson fever dream built in 1933: its art deco exterior is aqua, with ornate bronze grillwork and a charming oceanfront veranda. The interiors remind visitors of the hotel's roots as a playground for Golden Age Hollywood royalty. The contemporary pet-friendly guest rooms have a more neutral palette, but their curves and details give more than a nod to the 1930s. Popular with visiting Europeans, the hotel's lobby echoes with foreign languages, especially around the lively lobby bar. Enjoy a lazy brunch or an Italian-inspired meal at Sirena, where you can appreciate the beach, ocean, and city views, or dine inside the clubby restaurant. Better yet, escort your cronies into the reservation-only Georgian Room, a former speakeasy that now delights with period cocktails and a luxe yet still approachable Italian menu (try the Sunday prix-fixe). There's also the Library bar for hotel guests only, featuring complimentary drinks. The daily $40 amenity fee includes bubbly and bottled water upon check-in, an EV charging station, bike rentals, yoga mats, a 24-hour fitness center with Pelotons, and more. Not enough luxury yet? Rent their manned 65' yacht.

Pros

  • Many ocean-view rooms
  • Front terrace is a great people-watching spot
  • Lively bar and restaurant

Cons

  • $80 parking and daily $40 amenity fee
  • Some rooms have unremarkable views
  • Decor a bit tired in places

Georgian Terrace

$$ | 659 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, GA, 30308, USA

Enrico Caruso and other stars of the Metropolitan Opera once stayed in this fine 1911 hotel across the street from the Fox Theatre. The columned lobby is striking, and breathtaking terraces traverse the exterior, making it a popular venue for wedding receptions. The street-level Edgar's Proof & Provision bar serves up craft cocktails and delicious nibbles made with in-house ingredients amid an equally inviting scene. Livingston Restaurant's seafood is a high point, and simple sides such as roasted Brussels sprouts are excellent.

Pros

  • The front terrace is a great place for people-watching
  • Proximity to the Fox makes upscale in-house restaurant Livingston a convenient pretheater choice
  • Rooftop pool and penthouse-level fitness room offer incredible city views

Cons

  • Rates more in line with legacy of hotel than accommodations
  • Postshow and rush-hour traffic is tough to navigate
  • Hotel is officially no-smoking but guests may smell smoke

The Germantown Inn

$$ | 1218 6th Ave. N, Nashville, TN, USA

Situated in a gorgeous, recently renovated late-1800s brick home and carriage house, this inn is the epitome of cozy and upscale; the rooms pay tribute to influential American men and women (i.e., Thomas Jefferson and Rosa Parks). The Germantown neighborhood is a real gem for foodies, and the inn is close to some of the best restaurants in town like City House, 5th & Taylor, Monell’s, and Rolf & Daughters.

Pros

  • Historic setting with modern touches
  • Walking distance to great restaurants
  • Free parking

Cons

  • Lacks amenities of a conventional hotel like gym or pool
  • Close quarters for some
  • Historic charm isn't for everyone

Getaway Blake Brook Cabins

$ | 76 Mountain Rd., NH, 03234, USA

Part of the trendy, burgeoning Getaway brand of tiny house glamping resorts, this nearly 50-acre spread in a densely wooded community just 15 miles east of Concord provides a relaxing base, whether you're looking to read and relax around your own firepit or to explore Portsmouth or Lake Winnipesaukee, which are both within a 45-minute drive. Each of these sleek, angular units has a small kitchen with pots, pans, and utensils; a private bathroom with a hot shower; and a spacious picnic area. Two popular craft breweries, Blasty Bough and Northwood Brewing, are nearby.

Pros

  • Peaceful wooded setting
  • Cabins are small but well-equipped (with kitchens)
  • Very pet-friendly

Cons

Give the Healdsburg hubbub and prices the heave-ho but still have easy access to outstanding Dry Creek and Alexander Valley wineries from this two-story motel-like inn. The best rooms are in the back on the second floor and have decks with vineyard views. All the rooms are done in subtle grays; many have fireplaces, and some have balconies. Should you suddenly crave a little Healdsburg action, the town's plaza is less than 10 miles away.

Pros

  • Outdoor pool
  • Second-floor rooms in back have vineyard views
  • Picnic area

Cons

  • Rooms facing pool or highway can be noisy
  • Minimum-stay requirement on weekends
  • Not worth price on weekends in high season

The GG Walla Walla

$$$$ | 922 Bonsella St., Walla Walla, 99362, USA

This luxury inn a block from Whitman College was opened in 2022 by twin sisters, Connie and Karrie, who bought the 1909 Arts and Crafts–style mansion that previously operated as the Green Gables Inn and quickly set out to transform it with their new vision of social connection and showcasing their art and antique collections. It sits among flowering plants and shrubs on a quaint, tree-lined street and offers five freshly decorated guest suites. The LV Suite has its own Louis Vuitton trunk (Carrie is a collector and her Louis Vuitton items are lovingly displayed throughout the house), while the Green Suite pays homage to the house's original owners, the Greens. The unique Beverly Hills–style Cabana is for groups, with four double beds and a kitchenette. Guests are welcomed with a glass of champagne and tour of the home, and can arrange the services of the on-site chef for dinners if they'd like.

Pros

  • Very friendly and communicative hosts
  • Lots of opportunities to socialize with other guests
  • Delicious gourmet breakfasts

Cons

  • No pets or children
  • Only open part-time
  • Not for people who don't want social interaction

Ghost Light Inn

$$$$ | 50 S. Main St., New Hope, PA, 18938, USA

By the river in the heart of town, this luxe rustic-chic boutique hotel notches up New Hope's lodging scene with modern rooms and a restaurant and bar (Stella) overlooking the water. Earthen-tone neutrals and textured finishes—a wood-lined wall, patterned carpet, metal and leather furnishings—and large bathrooms with double sinks and pebble tile in the showers make the inn an escape from New Hope's bustle but still relate to the river location. A refrigerator, coffeemaker, robes and slippers, and Italian linens are some amenities; a few rooms have Juliet balconies. Each room has a ghost light, referring to the theatrical tradition of leaving a pole with a single lightbulb on when a theater is not occupied, for safety and also so that any ghosts can perform. A sister property a block away, the Carriage House, has two rooms and a suite; you check in at the Ghost Light if you stay there.

Pros

  • Spectacular Delaware River views from restaurant and many rooms
  • Steps from the Bucks County Playhouse via riverfront promenade
  • Gorgeous rooms with plenty of amenities

Cons

  • Events in the ballroom may disturb a quiet mood
  • River views are costly
  • Breakfast is Continental and is not included on weekends

Gibson Inn

$$ | 51 Ave. C, Apalachicola, FL, 32320, USA

One of a few inns on the National Register of Historic Places still operating as a full-service facility, this turn-of-the-20th-century hostelry in the heart of downtown is easily identified by its wraparound porches, intricate fretwork, and widow's walk. Each room is uniquely decorated, and all were recently renovated. For an authentic Apalachicola experience, enjoy waking up here and starting the day with a complimentary breakfast on the veranda, or try dinner or brunch at the on-site restaurant, The Franklin. Wind down after a day of exploring at The Parlor Bar, where you'll find music, craft cocktails, local brews, and bar bites.

Pros

  • Smack-dab in the center of town
  • Peaceful veranda
  • On-site restaurant

Cons

  • May get a little busy when weddings take place in the main lobby
  • Hallway noise can be an issue
  • No elevator to second floor

Gilmore Hotel

$$ | 326 Front St., Ketchikan, AK, 99901, USA

Crammed between the large buildings along Front Street, the Gilmore—which is part of Wyndham's Trademark Collection—is a rustic historic property best suited for travelers who value character over modern amenities. Thanks to its small dimensions, the late-1920s-era lobby has a European feel, and the front desk is staffed by friendly locals. All rooms are on the second or third floors, with no elevator. Downstairs, Annabelle's Famous Keg and Chowder House serves seafood, pasta, and prime rib. Upgrade to one of the marina-view rooms; otherwise, you will be facing the wall of the building next door.

Pros

Glacier Park Lodge

$$$ | Off U.S. 2, East Glacier Park, MT, USA

Just east of the park, across from the Amtrak station, this beautiful full-service hotel built in 1913 is supported by 500- to 800-year-old Douglas firs and 3-foot-thick cedar logs; little wonder that its nickname is "Big Tree Lodge." Entertainers delight guests with storytelling and singing in the spectacular great hall, where a crackling fire blazes in a massive stone fireplace. Rooms are sparsely decorated, but historic framed posters hang on the hallway walls. The hotel has an excellent restaurant, a bar, a convenience store, and a gift shop. There is also a house for rent on the grounds. It's next to the golf course, the oldest grass-greens course in Montana. If you golf on it, watch out for moose.

Glass Mountain Inn

$ | 108-110 Rte. 214, Phoenicia, NY, 12464, USA
After opening several hip spots in Brooklyn, Jeff and Brooke Bailey decided to head to the Catskills to open an inn for creative types like them with uniquely curated decor that includes original artworks, hand-sewn quilts, poetry books, and a retro collection of vinyl. The result is the Glass Mountain Inn, where the couple resides on-site with their young children. They're friendly folks, happy to pick you up at the local bus station or arrange for some vegetarian food to be delivered to your room. You can play volleyball or croquet on the tree-shaded lawn, or borrow one of the bikes for a morning spin. Esopus Creek is just across Route 241. There are two rustic suites: a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom with an old-timey vibe and plenty of country charm. If you want more privacy, there's a two-bedroom cottage with a private deck and an upright piano.

Pros

  • Warm and welcoming vibe
  • Good for families

Glen Iris Inn

$ | 7 Letchworth State Park, Castile, NY, 14427, USA

Within Letchworth State Park, this country inn overlooks the park's tallest waterfall. Park founder William Pryor Letchworth had used the mansion as a retreat; it became an inn in 1914. Interiors are Victorian in style. Smaller standard rooms have one double or two twin beds, but the suites, with queen beds, are spacious. The Cherry Suite has a whirlpool tub, a private porch, and chevron-patterned hardwood floors. Also available are contemporary lodge rooms and three houses.

Glen Oaks Big Sur

$$$ | 47080 Hwy. 1, Big Sur, CA, 93920, USA

At this rustic-modern complex of adobe-and-redwood buildings, you can choose between motel-style rooms, cabins, and cottages in the woods. Rooms have a contemporary, earth-tone look and a "green" sensibility, with organic linens and wool carpets, and walk-in showers with natural river-rock radiant-heated tiles. All have gas fireplaces, and some have private outdoor patios.

Pros

  • In the heart of town
  • Natural river-rock radiant-heated tiles
  • Restaurant across the street

Cons

  • Near busy road and parking lot
  • No TVs
  • Some cabins are tiny
