Located in the heart of Canyons Village, the hotel is just steps from a heated chairlift and golf course, making lodgings here ideal year-round. A $15 million renovation in 2017 updated this slope-side hotel and now Grand Summit is part of Vail Resorts' premium Rock Resorts lodging collection. The lobby's modern stone and timber interior leads to 212 rooms, most of which are condo-style units with kitchens. Accommodations range from studios to four-bedroom penthouses. Restaurants, shops, a spa, and a year-round heated pool complement your stay any season of the year.

Mount Snow's comfortable main hotel is an easy choice for skiers whose main priority is getting on the slopes as quickly as possible. The guest rooms at this efficient modern hotel are tidy and fairly basic, and entertainment is almost always on tap, in the big outdoor heated pool, spa, arcade, gastropub, and nearby golf course.

Lodging at this hidden gem ski resort on the west side of the Tetons has a handsome, natural-wood look and the atmosphere of an alpine village. Choose from dorm-style quads, motel rooms, and high-end suites available across three different facilities. Budget options are simply furnished with Western furniture and centered on common areas with fireplaces; the high-end condominium rooms are brighter and more spacious. The Branding Iron Bar and Grille ($$$) is the resort's flagship restaurant. The Trap Bar and Grille and Wild Bill's Grille serve quicker, less expensive meals, and Snorkel's has bakery items, espresso, and deli sandwiches.

An unassuming beachfront home 2 miles from town, the Grand View offers spectacular vistas across Zimovia Strait.

Plush high-back chairs invite visitors to relax in the spacious lobby of this hotel that lives up to its name. A private-club look dominates the hotel's main restaurant (there is also a casual breakfast spot), and an old-fashioned charm characterizes the rooms, though the artwork, bathrooms, and furniture have a fresh, more modern feel.

"Grand" is no exaggeration for this opulent, sunny, 40-acre resort that's wildly entertaining due to its elaborate water features such as the Wailea Activity Pool with enclosed "lava tube," slides, caves, a Tarzan swing, and the world's only water elevator. Paths meander tropical grounds, passing food gardens and artwork by noted international and Hawaiian artists. The Humuhumunukunukuapuaa restaurant—named for Hawaii's state fish—"floats" in a saltwater lagoon. The fabulous Spa Grande has wellness options that range from astrology to massage.

This remodel of an older resort features suites with shiplap walls, light-colored wood floors, coastal decor, and Murphy beds for extra room.

This charming Victorian-style hotel—the smallest property in the Best Western chain—is less than a mile from the airport in the Mendenhall Valley and has spacious and homey rooms.

Defining the Florida B&B experience, this 1925 Mediterranean-revival home overlooks a serene courtyard pool and has loads of charm and personality, while the fabulous owners provide heavy doses of bespoke service.

Each spacious room has French doors opening to individual patios overlooking the pool. Grandview also has two adjacent cottages available for weekly rental.

Early tourists used to ride horses 7 to 9 miles through the park each day and stay at a different chalet each night; today, the only way to reach the Granite Park, one of two such chalets that's still standing (Sperry is the other), is via hiking trails. You must bring your own food and water (or you can pre-purchase it and have it available on-site), and you need a reservation. There is an optional linen and bedding service for $40 per person. A rustic kitchen, limited refrigeration, and pit toilets are near the chalet. You can park at Logan Pass Visitor Center and hike 7.6 miles, or park at the Loop Trailhead and hike uphill 4 miles.

Far enough off the highway to feel secluded, this 74-acre condo community (its name in Norwegian means "a hillside sheltered by fir trees") provides an in-the-woods Tahoe experience convenient to outdoor activities and Tahoe City dining. The Treetop Adventure Park's rope course is here, along with tennis, hiking on a private nature trail or the nearby Tahoe Rim Trail, swimming in the heated pool (the adjacent hot tubs are also heated year-round), and working out on a par course. Lodging options range from studio and one-bedroom condos to three-bedroom, two-bath town houses with full kitchens. The room rate includes a complimentary breakfast for bookings made through the website. Look for packages throughout the year.

Some of the wood-panel cabins here have heaters, electric lights, and private baths, but most have woodstoves, battery lamps, and shared baths. Those who don't mind roughing it might opt for the tent cabins. In winter, only the cabins that have private baths remain open.

Grant Village is an excellent location for touring the southern half of the park, but this 1980s lodge itself feels like a bit dormlike, its rooms furnished like their counterparts at a big-city motel, with beds, nightstands, and tables, and not much else. Premium rooms also have coffeemakers and refrigerators.

Within walking distance of the beach and the village, this large Victorian house right off Main Street may not be luxurious, but it's a convenient option if you're traveling without a car. If you're looking for a clean place to rest your head after a day at the beach, this is a nice, affordable choice, and families will appreciate the babysitting and childcare services. Breakfast is served in a main dining area, and use of outdoor grills and the Ping-Pong table is encouraged. The hotel is affiliated with the Eastside Tennis Academy, and packages are available.

This small, European-style hotel is on the edge of historic Gratz Park. The Federalist–Georgian architecture and decor are inviting, and the house reportedly is home to a friendly ghost.

Situated on the slopes, this hip lodge with a focus on sustainability couldn't have a more convenient location. The small but cozy rooms come in gray and cream tones, with Western decor touches and leather furnishings, and the balconies have views of the surrounding mountains. There's also a ski valet and a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, and Eatery + Bar serves breakfast in the morning and après-ski snacks and cocktails from 3 to 9 pm daily.

The clean, spare lines of the Gravity Haus's wooden exterior evoke a modern European feel; energy-saving heating, cooling, and lighting systems demonstrate a commitment to sustainability; and rooms in the three two-story satellite buildings are understatedly sexy, with Merlot-and-camel color schemes and mod-Italian overtones. Not all bathrooms have tubs, but small refrigerators and flat-screen Smart TVs count among the amenities. Check the hotel's website or ask when you book about the outdoor-sports trips the staff arranges. Some pets are welcome in ground-floor rooms for a fee.

The lodging is in a suburban spot 3 miles from downtown. Motel rooms are simple, with no-frills furnishings. Rooms in the separate lodge building have wood-covered walls and vaulted ceilings. A cottage and a carriage house contain several rooms and suites. Picnic tables and Adirondack chairs, sprawled across the lawn, offer a respite after hikes at Buttermilk Falls State Park, 1 mi away.

The 2023 renovation of this former Super 8 is so impressive—a stone fireplace in the lobby, shiplap walls in bathrooms, attractive mountain scenery on the walls—that it feels like new construction. Breakfast is equally stellar: locally roasted coffee, bagels and scones from Boone's Stick Boy Bread Company, and a full buffet of fresh biscuits, scrambled eggs, and country ham. There's free parking, and you'll need a car—it's a few miles from downtown.

From downtown Portsmouth, it's a picturesque 2-mile drive or bike ride along the Piscataqua River to this urbane inn set inside an 1820s home that's been given a nautical-chic redesign, all of its six apartment-style studios equipped with well-stocked kitchens, washers and dryers, and light-filled living spaces. Although the inn offers only a self check-in, there is a concierge available to answer questions by text. Some rooms have water views. 

On 12 acres sloping gently to a gazebo on the edge of its private Chesapeake beach, this stately 18th-century Georgian brick manor house provides a taste of Eastern Shore gentility.
