What was once a run-down mid-century motor lodge is now downtown's coolest place to stay, thanks to an overhaul with retro-chic furnishings, trellises with climbing vines, and a sage-and-neutrals color scheme that extends to the lobby coffee shop and lounge.

Both vacationing families and businesspeople who want luxury pick this sprawling resort complex, which towers over the island-studded San Carlos Bay at the last mainland exit before the Sanibel Causeway.

There's also tennis, a superb spa, restaurants (one of which is a buffet-dining yacht), the gorgeous circular windowed Charley's Bar, and a large free-form pool. Rent a kayak, Jet Ski, or pontoon boat; take a wildlife-viewing cruise; or go fishing. The beach is small and bay-side, but Sanibel's gorgeous stretches of sand are a quick ride away.

With original pine floors, handsome woodwork, and exposed brick, this hotel provides the charm and intimacy of a B&B. Rooms with their own wrought-iron balconies, which overlook the street, are decidedly the best, and the lobby segues into the bar and then into sophisticated 45 Bistro, one of the city's top eateries.

A full breakfast is offered in the lovely atrium, and there's a Southern history talk during a complimentary wine-and-cheese reception in the lobby Sunday through Thursday.

Turn back the clock and still enjoy modern amenities at this charming, pastoral inn on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Kaanapali Golf Course's fairways wrap around this fine, well-priced, two-story condo complex that has spacious studio, one-, and two-bedroom units with fully equipped kitchens and access to a stocked beach cabana on a semiprivate beach. The complex itself isn't exactly on the beach—it's a quick golf-cart trip away—but when you arrive, you will have beach chairs at your disposal, as well as a full kitchen and lounge area at the cabana, Maui's only beachfront clubhouse. Back at the condo complex, the style of the privately owned units may vary, but most are tastefully decorated and offer modern appliances and spacious bathrooms. There is no elevator.

With its magnificent block-long lobby filled with antique crystal chandeliers, layers of gold trim, and gilded columns, there's little wonder that this luxurious landmark has hosted presidential balls since its opening in 1925, as well as historic news conferences and even, for a short time, the Chinese Embassy. Even if you are not a visiting dignitary, being just steps from the Metro and within walking distance of numerous restaurants, shops, and tourist sites makes the Mayflower special. The guest rooms and palatial suites, done in shades of gray with bright splashes of color, are, in their own way, destinations in themselves. A stop  at the Edgar, its classic lobby bar is a must for a quintessential D.C. cocktail hour. 

Comfortable, old-world charm comes with sturdy antiques, Asian accents, brass fixtures, and florals, and though the hotel's main draw is its central location, street noise isn't much of an issue thanks to the sturdy old construction of the historic 1927 building.

Complimentary use of bikes offers another way to get around and explore local eateries and downtown sights.

Inside the Morgan State House, a late-19th-century town house on Washington Park, rich cherry wainscoting complements high ceilings, hand-glazed walls, and fireplaces. Although the house is in the center of town, the views are of either the park or the inn's well-tended flower beds. Each room is different—yours might have a fireplace, a claw-foot tub, exposed brick walls, a skylight, or a reading area—but the overall look is refined. Studios are available three doors away at the Washington Park State House, a sibling property with an elevator. Breakfast is served in the town house.

Even cowboys love soft pillows, which is one reason so many of them favor this 1904 town centerpiece, whose floors have seen silver-tipped cowboy boots, fly-fishing waders, and the polished heels of Hollywood celebrities. Antiques reflect a different theme in each guest room. Ask to see the third-floor suite that film director Sam Peckinpah once called home. Historic photos, a player piano, and stuffed game animals decorate the lobby and surround the antique elevator, which is still in use.

Beach access, a golf club, and top-shelf luxury are all yours at this ultramodern high-rise, which attracts meeting crowds but is still popular with families thanks to amenities like an immense free-form pool with a 100-foot waterslide. Accommodations, which have a coastal-style decor, are the largest in Naples, and every room has a direct Gulf view and a private balcony with plush seating. It's a short walk or tram ride to the 3 miles of powdery white sand on Clam Pass Beach, and the Naples Grande Golf Club, with an 18-hole Rees Jones–designed course, is on a sister property just a few miles away. If the links aren't your thing, the spa just might be: it's an indoor–outdoor "village" with four pavilions, gardens, and tranquillity galore. The hotel also has a renowned tennis program.

The rooms are bigger than average and are loaded with thoughtful touches: need make-up remover? Check the bathroom toiletries.

With a commanding position overlooking the bay just north of downtown Camden, this impressive, turreted "castle" exudes old world grandeur. It was built in 1886 by local businessman Joseph Stearns, who spent a year visiting European castles before creating his own. Today, it's an elegantly appointed, luxury inn. Among its nine rooms and two suites are two that are tucked inside a turret, and another that's set in the castle's original, two-story library. Some have fabulous ocean views, some have private balconies or patios, some have fireplaces, and some have deep soaking tubs. The luxurious penthouse suite is a rare hideaway you won't want to leave. Lodging includes a full breakfast with multiple choices and a daily hot entrée.

This enchanting, fully restored grand hotel, founded in 1880, served emigrants on the Bozeman Trail, two U.S. presidents, and some of Wyoming's most colorful characters, and it remains in top form. Owen Wister immortalized the Occidental in his 1902 novel The Virginian, about the Johnson County Cattle War. After winning a high-stakes poker game in 1918, one family held on to the hotel for 58 years, keeping intact all of its original furnishings and architectural accents. A lavish $1 million–plus restoration under current owners John and Dawn Wexo spruced up the Victorian-style rooms and tin-ceiling lobby, saloon, and restaurant, sparing this living treasure from the wrecking ball. Most spectacular among the many nostalgic suites are the Clear Creek, with its six-post cherrywood bed, adjoining sitting room, and spacious bathroom, and the elegant Teddy Roosevelt Suite, furnished with a high-back walnut bed, an antique hardwood desk, and a claw-foot tub. Down in the saloon, the 25-foot bar, stained-glass shade, and tin ceiling look brand new—except for 23 bullet holes, revealing origins in the cutthroat, quick-draw era. On Thursday nights nowadays there's a bluegrass hootenanny jam-packed with friendlies.

Easily earning its National Historic Landmark status, this jewel of the national park system has been a favorite since the original Old House section opened in 1904—it's worth a visit whether or not you stay here. The lobby has a 76-foot-high, eight-sided fireplace, as well as bright red iron-clad doors, two balconies, and a fantastical "tree house" of platforms, ladders, and dormer windows. You can stay in century-old rooms with thick wood timber walls and ceilings for as little as $135 if you're willing to do without a private bathroom (and the communal bathrooms are surprisingly elegant). Rooms with bathrooms are in the Old House or the "modern" wings built in 1913 and 1927.

From the colors and surfaces in the guest rooms and public spaces to the filling breakfasts, the attention to detail at this country-casual yet sophisticated boutique lodging impresses most guests.

All rooms have a patio or other outdoor seating area. Room amenities include bathrobes, complimentary snacks, refrigerators, Brita water filters, heated bathroom floors, and smart TVs.
