A former fur trapper's trading post–turned–Dutch mansion provides a swish backdrop for a room and a meal on the Mohawk River. Standard rooms have two queen beds; junior suites have a king-size sleigh bed, a desk, and a seating area. The decor throughout is a harmonious blend of patterned fabrics and wallpapers in elegant palettes. Candlelit tables set with fine china and table linens fill the pre-colonial dining room, which has two decorative fireplaces and hand-hewn beams. A cavelike, stone-walled pub downstairs offers lighter fare.

This boutique hotel is a mix of New York sophistication and Miami sex appeal. The rooms are small, but they make the best of the space. Glass walls between the oversize showers and the sleeping areas mean you won't miss a minute of the program on your flat-screen TV. The contemporary decor is sleek and sophisticated.

This charming resort offers seven rooms and one cabin along with a shared kitchen and beautiful outdoor areas. It's ideal for folks who can stay awhile and enjoy some peace and quiet while still being a five-minute walk to downtown Glennallen.

Unlimited and convenient access to the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, just steps from this modern-but-basic lodge, is the reason to stay here. You'll find a contemporary lobby and unfussy guest rooms decorated in earth tones. Deluxe rooms have small fridges, microwaves, and tiny balconies or terraces in addition to standard conveniences such as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. 

For those who are skeptical of the rustic facilities and folksy banter common at many B&Bs—but who still want distinctive lodging and a personal feel—Glidden house offers a compromise. On the Case Western campus, the French Gothic mansion, built in 1910, has a traditional hotel staff and dining in its carriage house restaurant, Sergio's, which focuses on seafood and Brazilian fare. Rooms feature plasma-screen TVs and private baths. The modern room decor in particular is a welcome change from the often fussy look of some historic B&Bs. Suites are decorated more traditionally, and some have wet bars.

The main building on this property is an Edwardian-style mansion built in 1908 for sugar baron John D. Spreckels, who once owned much of Downtown San Diego. Rooms in the mansion and in the newer motel-style buildings are quaintly furnished; some have patios or balconies. The inn is adjacent to the Coronado harbor and near many restaurants and shops, but it's much smaller and quieter than the Hotel Del, across the street. Complimentary breakfast is served each morning; coffee, tea, and fruit are available throughout the day; and seasonal afternoon refreshments make for a nice pick-me-up (hot chocolate during the winter and lemonade on hotter days).

Perched atop a hill in a quiet residential neighborhood, the Glover Park Georgetown offers beautifully decorated rooms away from the city bustle. One floor of the hotel has suites with kitchenettes, handy for families or anyone on a longer stay, and the courtyard is great for outdoor relaxation. A free shuttle makes runs to the Woodley Park–Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station, as well as American and Georgetown universities and Georgetown University Hospital.

The Glunz family got it right when they purchased this former time-share property and put a whole lot of love into ensuring it achieved its full oceanfront potential—from the bottom-floor rooms, you can walk out your back door and your feet are in the sand, or you can also chill at the oceanfront tiki bar or one of two heated pools. Standard rooms have a small fridge and coffeemaker; kitchens (in suites only) are well equipped, too. To stay like royalty, opt for the three-level oceanfront villas, each with 2,300 square feet and a garage. Hungry? Walk next door to Havana Jack's for fish tacos, or have the staff drive you via golf cart to the local bars so you won't drink and drive.

Squam Lake is just a short drive from this romantic inn that comprises a beautifully restored 1890s Queen Anne–style Victorian and, next door, a handsome 1920s carriage house. Expect the best in B&B comforts: plush beds, flat-screen TVs, complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres, and excellent service. All but one of the 12 rooms have fireplaces, and the six suites have double-whirlpool tubs.

In the heart of Downtown, this boutique hotel is popular with business folk, who appreciate the ease of walking to the nearby Financial District. Expect frills but not things frilly in the modern guest rooms, which give off slightly masculine vibes and come equipped with fast Wi-Fi, smart streaming, and Frette bed linens. Need a kick in the morning or an afternoon boost? The Godfrey is flanked by George Howell Coffee, which we highly recommend.

Tech-minded travelers who like to mix business with pleasure will feel right at home at this hotel, which has what worker bees need (generously sized in-room desks with multiple outlets) and what party animals want (a sizzling rooftop bar, I|O Godfrey). Rooms have glittering city views and start at 350 square feet. An on-site spa with two treatment rooms offers 30-minute massages that are perfect for the corporate crowd.

Just off Highway 49 and superbly run, this Ascend Collection property provides a comfortable experience, with art and artifacts reflecting the area's mining heritage gracing public areas and guest rooms. All the rooms are equipped with microwaves, refrigerators, Keurig coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs. Accommodations in the Grass Valley Suites category, good for families or other small groups, contain these amenities plus sleeper sofas and wet bars. A generous full buffet breakfast is served in the lobby.

This small, attractively updated, and economical motel is an easy drive from the Mt. Washington Auto Road, skiing at Attitash Mountain Resort, and the inviting villages of Jackson and North Conway. Rooms have granite counters, plush towels and linens, fast Wi-Fi, and attractive decor, and some have Jacuzzis and gas fireplaces. 

The former Best Western Golden Arrow is under new management, and sits right in the heart of Lake Placid, on Main Street. Beautiful views of Mirror Lake are available from the lobby and some rooms, which have balconies. But what really sets the property apart is the owners' decision to go as green as possible. Expect recycled and ecofriendly gifts to greet you on arrival (perhaps a pine-tree seed in a terra-cotta pot filled with earth, for example). Have a seat at Charlie's, the resort restaurant, for a view of the green roof. The roof, finished in summer 2008, is an insulating blanket of plants grown on a flat section of the property's roof. Some of the herbs grown there might go into dishes served at Charlie's. Kids' programs are available.

Waterville Valley's premier condominium resort, its steep roof punctuated by dozens of gabled dormers, recalls the grand hotels of an earlier era. Rooms are outfitted with upscale light-wood furniture and have full kitchens; many units have views of the surrounding peaks.

This cozy, two-story motel is convenient to Wisconsin State Fair Park, restaurants, and shopping.

Formerly the Trump Marina, the completely renovated, refurbished, and rebranded casino has the state's largest marina at its disposal and a brand-new salon and spa. The changes become obvious as soon as you pull up. The entrance now shimmers with gold. Standard rooms are tastefully appointed with maroon, black, beige, and brown furnishings. Gold Tower suites up the ante with Sobel Westex linens, dining areas, and panoramic windows. Spa Tower suites go all in with marble baths, murals, columns, and cocktail bars.

The Golden Nugget has long reigned as Downtown's top property, since the mid-1970s, evolving with the times but maintaining classic appeal. The resort stands apart from its \"Old Vegas\" neighbors with unique attractions, namely The Tank, a pool with a shark tank and a three-story waterslide (which, incidentally, goes through the shark tank). You can gamble out near the pool, too. The nicest and newest accommodations on the property reside in the modern and sophisticated Rush Tower; beds are plush, and built-in desks easily convert to multimedia stations. Parlor Suites, refreshed to look old again, also are a good value. Casino operators have been known to cycle through new table games, but the popular poker room, which has starred on a number of poker television shows, is likely to last. Another perk: you can bring your dog.

Although the casino here is smaller than some of its Laughlin neighbors, this resort has a more upscale feel and a convenient layout that's easy to navigate. It is home to three chain restaurants, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Claim Jumper, and the popular Saltgrass steak house. The Rush Lounge nightclub is a perennially popular hot spot. The atrium echoes the Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip with two cascading waterfalls surrounded by tropical plants from around the world.

Golden Sands offers simple lodging at several locations in Nome and the chance to visit its equestrian center to join a trail ride or just hang out near the horses. Private and shared-bath options are available. Most units include breakfast, and the hosts are helpful and gracious.

A beloved alpine escape for more than 30 years, this cozy and charming, Bavarian-style chalet got a modern upgrade in 2021 with the addition of two new buildings designed by Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig, named one of the AD100 design firms by Architectural Digest. The sleek buildings added contemporary accommodations to the property, as well as a new lobby and lounge area, ski lockers for guests, a fitness center and sauna, and the crown jewel: Deer Valley's only rooftop pool and hot tub with panoramic mountain views. The new buildings connect to the original inn via a glass bridge skywalk. The 18 original rooms were spruced up, too, and feature fresh paint and new carpet, drapes, and minibars. On-site dining options include an Austrian-inspired restaurant offering lunch and dinner; the Antler Lounge, a new après gathering spot for food and drinks; and The Kitz, a coffee shop and café. Guest opportunities range from alpine fire cooking classes and Bavarian beer tastings to customized ski experiences and full moon mountain bike rides. 

Whether you settle into a grandly appointed suite, freestanding cottage or woodsy log cabin, you'll revel in the romance at this country-style bed and breakfast, just beyond downtown Galena. Going on its 30th year, the Goldmoor appeals to honeymooners, parents seeking a quiet break from the kids, and couples with leisurely days and intimate nights in mind. Its primo picturesque setting on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River is duly complemented with lavish furnishings in each room or cottage, including two-person whirlpool tubs, heated towel bars and gas fireplaces. For the ultimate views, book the Mississippi Room where you can sip an evening cocktail in the screened-in porch while gazing out onto a magnificent vista of the setting sun over the river.

Built in 1911 for the first president of the University of Montana and fully remodeled in 2021, this prairie-style brick home offers six apartment-style units, each with a kitchen or kitchenette (and all but one with laundry facilities). The building sits on the bank of the Clark Fork River, at the end of a footbridge that leads to campus. With big white eaves and an ample porch overlooking the river—where blue heron, osprey, and bald eagles congregate—this historic building offers the opportunity to put down shallow roots if you need a place for a longer stay. The Clark Fork suite has a king-size bed, private entry, and riverside porch. The two-room Bitterroot Apartment offers two rooms (one queen, one twin), two full baths and two patios. Most suites have full kitchens and laundry, and all have river views.

This eclectic inn stands out for its fun design, brightly colored walls, desert-inspired art, and varnished adobe construction. The furnishings and decoration are all decidedly contemporary, combining wood, stone, metal, and tile, and some rooms have fireplaces. The pool, hot tub, and courtyard overlook a shady pathway that winds for several miles along Mill Creek. Though you wouldn't know it, all the rooms are time-shares (units available for purchase).

Blink and you'll miss this Miracle Hill adults-only gem, the sole Black-owned hotel in the Greater Palm Springs area, which—with a tiny spa, a sizable yard, a springs-fed pool and hot tubs, a chaise-lined terrace, and a firepit—feels like a cross between an updated Joshua Tree hotel, a wellness camp, and your childhood friend's parent's ranch house. Despite being peaceful, there's no escaping other guests or day-pass holders in the common areas so make sure to book one of the five suites with a back patio to give your best-behaved public persona a reprieve. Good House gets bonus points for participating in the Kind Traveler program and emphasizing sustainable tourism measures.  

Built of cedar timbers and decorated in a Western style, this lodge-style bed-and-breakfast is warm and inviting. A hearty breakfast is served at individual tables in the dining room, and hors d'oeuvres are served with wine by the fireplace in the late afternoon. All rooms have private baths, and most have balconies with mountain views. The lovely garden has a deck, gas firepit, and hot tub. As the lodge is very close to Whitefish Mountain Resort, it has a ski room with boot and glove dryers, and the snow bus to the ski area stops right outside. Fitness center passes are free for guests, and there are also on-site laundry facilities.

This 1870 Victorian home, named after the Goodbread family who once owned it, is a comfy bed-and-breakfast with six uniquely decorated rooms named for famous lovers like Scarlett and Rhett and Bogie and Bacall. Innkeeper Mardja Gray is all about Southern hospitality and can assist you with ferry reservations, restaurant recommendations, and even pack a lunch for your Cumberland Island visit. She is also happy to accommodate children and pets, unlike many B&Bs. Each morning starts with a decadent home-cooked breakfast you won't want to skip.

Darling cabins, one log and one clapboard, and a carriage house have mountain views all around and are near the famed Poindexter Slough blue-ribbon fly-fishing spot on the Beaverhead River. The cabins both have two bedrooms, full bathrooms, fireplaces, and cozy couches. The carriage house has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a deck with a grill.

The newest addition to Eugene's expanding 5th Street Public Market, The Gordon offers a boutique-meets-business experience, with lots of local touches. The contemporary rooms are large and bright and all feature work desks with good lighting and plenty of nods to the hotel's surroundings, from wall art inspired by the surrounding neighborhood to coffee and tea sourced from Oregon producers. Some rooms are pet-friendly and a few categories also have balconies. While there's no room service, you can grab a bite from the lobby Tavern or head up to Carlita's on the rooftop for cocktails and city views. 

The 10 off-the-wall accommodations at this "glampground" range from a renovated double-decker English bus to a super hero–themed tiny house. Each space has a different theme, and several are large enough to accommodate families. The grounds are beautiful and include a small pond and creek.
