Native plants and old-growth trees surround this environmentally friendly lodging that feels more like an apartment complex than a budget hotel. A member of the Green Hotels Association, it's won a number of awards for sustainability. The outdoor pool, surrounded by landscaped greenery, is sanitized with a bleach-free salt generator, solar panels are affixed to the roof, and the breakfast buffet features organic, macrobiotic selections. Suites are roomy one-bedroom apartments with full kitchens; most have fireplaces.

Art patron Mabel Dodge Luhan bought this house about a mile north of Taos Plaza in the 1920s and lived here with her husband, Tony Luhan, while building their main house; most of the rooms contain Pueblo-style fireplaces, Southwestern handcrafted furniture, and original artwork—a few have jacuzzi tubs. It was also the couple's private retreat and guesthouse for visiting notables; Frank Waters wrote People of the Valley here—other guests have included Willa Cather and D. H. Lawrence. Some adjoining rooms can be combined into suites. Breakfast is a gourmet affair inspired by New Mexican cuisine with espresso coffee. The "backyards" of the rooms and the secluded outdoor hot tub have beautiful views of the Taos mountains.

This 32-acre hideaway in the Santa Catalina Foothills is a charming and more intimate alternative to the larger resorts, combining luxury with Southwestern character. Designed in classic Mexican hacienda style, this former finishing school for girls was converted to a guest ranch during World War II and attracted stars like Clark Gable, Katharine Hepburn, and Spencer Tracy. Expanded in recent years, the lodging options range from smaller, historic rooms, some with fireplaces and private porches, to spacious, newer rooms boasting private outdoor showers or views of the mountains and city lights.

A handsome, 1924, Craftsman-style house in the heart of Makawao town is on both the Hawaii and the National Historic Registers, and provides a great base for excursions to Haleakala, Hana, or North Shore beaches. Owner Cherie Attix has furnished three pretty guest rooms with antiques and fine art, and she allows you to peruse her voluminous library of Hawaii-related books; all guests have access to the main kitchen for light meal preparation. The lush serene grounds have a gazebo and one of the biggest Norfolk pine trees in Hawaii. Discounts are offered to guests who participate in volunteer projects through Cherie's site (www.volunteer-on-vacation-hawaii.com).

In cool, upcountry Holualoa, Hale Hualalai offers two exceptionally large suites with exposed beams, whirlpool tubs, and private lanai, but perhaps most memorable are the breakfasts ($15 per person)—owner Ricky Brewster was a chef at Four Seasons Hualalai Resort's Beach Tree restaurant. These are as varied as they are delicious, reflecting individual guest preferences—from Italian margarita frittatas with tomatoes and herbs grown on-site to Punaluu sweetbread French toast with Tahitian lime gastrique and crushed pecans. Ricky even grows and serves his own Kona coffee. Each 650-square-foot suite has a private entrance, whirlpool tub, and sunset views, making it perfect for couples.

On a bluff above Honolii surfing beach, this modern, 5,400-square-foot home is 2 miles from downtown Hilo and features four rooms—each with patio, deluxe bedding, and grand ocean views within earshot of the surf. Fresh flowers and artful decor add a warm tropical touch. A continental breakfast is served every morning on an outdoor deck or in the kitchen's bay-window dining area. From their lanai, guests can watch spinner dolphins or migrating whales during the season. These are ideal accommodations for honeymooners and empty nesters.

Since it just opened in 2020, this hotel still has a "new" feel to it, with modern amenities and streamlined, if somewhat small, rooms, and the indoor pool and complimentary breakfast make it popular with families.

The only hotel near the polo fields in the equestrian mecca of Wellington—10 miles west of downtown Palm Beach—feels a bit like a tony clubhouse, with rich wood paneling, hunt prints, and elegant chandeliers; but inside the rooms are standard Hampton Inn fare.

If equestrian pursuits are your thing, this is the place to be. Plus, it's close to some of the more off-the-beaten-path tourist attractions, including kid-favorite Lion Country Safari.

Convention center lodgings with character can be hard to come by, but here, two century-old warehouses have been converted into a French colonial–style hotel with large, airy rooms that are comfortable and architecturally distinctive. The grand lobby has original hardwood floors and exposed-brick walls, and the lobby bar overlooks a pool and a lush garden courtyard. Rooms include four-poster beds and wood floors; many overlook a small park.

The free breakfast and the logo may be the same, but this Hampton Inn tries to be more urban and chic than others in the chain. In an early-1900s office building that lay vacant for many years, the hotel follows the historical direction of the structure, but keeps things contemporary. Rooms, done in warm mauve and beige and dark wood, have a clubby, streamlined look. The biggest and most expensive rooms, on the top floor, are studio suites in the former executive offices. There is a complimentary breakfast as well as an indoor pool.

This 13-story, ornate, redbrick National Historic Landmark was built in 1913 as a luxury apartment building, hence the lobby's original marble and decorative ceilings. In 1986, the building was converted into a hotel, now operated by Hampton Inn & Suites, and rooms are sleek and modern, but the overall structure retains lots of Southern charm thanks to its ornate architecture and manicured gardens. The hotel is a favorite spot for weddings.

Located in the upscale business area of Cummings Park, the hotel is minutes away from popular attractions, including the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and Huntsville Botanical Gardens, as well as a lively shopping center featuring stores, restaurants, live-music performances, and kids' activities.
