Located directly across the street from Factors Walk, this former cotton warehouse has antique heart-pine floors that extend the length of the lobby. A long expanse of glass overlooks Bay Street, and a vintage bar add some character. Everything is just as contemporary as the interiors you'd find in some of the newer surrounding properties. The rooftop pool is a plus after a day of exploring.

Two blocks south of busy Colorado Boulevard, the Hilton Pasadena is still within walking distance of the city's vast convention center and close to Old Town's boundless options for shopping and dining. A light and airy sandstone lobby says California casual, as do the rooms done in soft beige and browns, complete with pillowy beds. Business travelers appreciate the chaise lounge with a movable desk to work from the chaise or standard desk area. Expect the typical technological gadgetry: flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, and plenty of outlets for devices. The rooms with balconies are best.

Once called Garcia's Trading Post, this well-kept hotel near Canyon de Chelly is less generic than you might expect: the exterior is "territorial fort" in style and the rooms have been updated with jewel tones and minimalist artwork. Off the lobby there's a gift shop stocked with local Native American arts and crafts, plus a decent restaurant.

Recycling bins and eco-conscious practices abound. Complimentary coffee and tea in the morning, and a nightly wine hour bring guests together. Pets get pampered for free.

Located 2 miles south of SFO, the Hyatt Regency is one of the largest airport convention hotels in Northern California, but the spectacular 10-story, 29,000-square-foot lobby atrium sets it apart for those seeking more than the typical business-center ambience. Following a top-to-bottom renovation in 2016, the services and amenities include free Wi-Fi, double-pane windows, roomy workstations, comfortable beds, 49-inch flat-screen HD TVs, and spacious bathrooms. The hotel provides numerous 24-hour business center kiosks, a 24-hour gym, and a heated outdoor pool. A free trolley whisks guests to downtown Burlingame for shopping and dining, and a shuttle services SFO, where you can catch a BART train to San Francisco.

Hotel rooms are done in soothing tones of blue, gray, and rust, with soft linens and cozy sofas, and the bathrooms are set up for comfort and well stocked with amenities. Springing for the concierge-level floors, for about an extra $100–$200 a night, is worthwhile for travelers who want to cash in on the complimentary drinks, snacks, appetizers, and hot buffet breakfast. The popular in-house restaurant, Toro Latin Kitchen & Lounge ($$$$), serves lunch and dinner daily based on Central and South American "convivial" dining culture, with a ceviche bar and family-style portions. The Spa at Cherry Creek, while expensive, is one of the most sought-after in town, and offers a gorgeous relaxation area and treatment rooms.

Close to downtown and near many upscale restaurants, this is a good choice for business and pleasure travelers. The spacious and quiet rooms have large desks and flat-screen televisions with 30 channels.

Many rooms have private balconies or patios with courtyard or mountain views.

This 1930s art-deco motel lures families, dog lovers, surfers, and locals wanting to escape the hustle of the city and retreat to these quiet, spacious, wood-paneled rooms in the Outer Sunset neighborhood. The retro exterior hugs two landscaped courtyards, one with a Monterey pine and the other with a wooden play structure. Interiors are simple, though many units offer kitchens with sitting areas. The enclosed hot tub, free parking and Wi-Fi, and proximity to Muni and the San Francisco Zoo up the ante.

Guest rooms at the ever-bustling Sheraton are roomy and streamlined, with unfussy furniture and nice workstations that appeal primarily to the business traveler.

Breakfast is complimentary, and free wine and cheese await guests on Tuesday evenings. There is also a complimentary shuttle service to Downtown sights. Book early for summer, as weekends fill up quickly.

There may be no better vantage point in town from which to view Sedona's red rock canyons and sunsets than the private patios and balconies at Sky Ranch Lodge, near the top of Airport Mesa.

This stylish midsize business- and family-friendly hotel is ideally located on the edge of downtown, and the spacious rooms have been updated with comfortable beds and the latest in high-tech perks to complement the brass and mahogany furnishings and roomy marble bathrooms.
