The 9-acre property encompasses 300 feet of frontage on Lake George, where there's a beach and a dock. Accommodations are in motel-style buildings. The corner rooms are extra spacious. Some rooms have lake views and balconies or patios. The on-site Villa Napoli restaurant is a local favorite.

The Mercer is superbly situated in the heart of SoHo's myriad name-brand stores, although you wouldn't know it once inside the lobby, a minimalist oasis created by acclaimed French designer Christian Liaigre. Most guest rooms are generously sized, with high ceilings and walk-in closets, but the lowest-priced rooms are a tight 250 square feet. Dark African woods and custom-designed furniture upholstered in muted solids lend serenity with sophistication. Some bathrooms feature decadent two-person marble tubs surrounded by mirrors. Beware the inconsistent service, which runs from friendly to indifferent.

A pink-and-turquoise neon sign on Route 5/U.S. 20 welcomes you to this 1953 motor lodge, transformed into an art-deco-style motel. Each room is individually decorated, with some '50s and '60s lamps and furnishings mixed with more-modern pieces. Rooms have comfortable queen beds with better-than-average linens; some have hot tubs.

Italophiles feel like they've been transported to the good life in the Mediterranean at this deluxe hotel, where the long, wide lobby lounge is clad with multihued marble and Veronese-style oil paintings. Upstairs, rooms are spacious, averaging 475 square feet. You can choose contemporary, neoclassical, art deco, or French country styles; the different styles really just have to do with different color schemes. All have marble foyers and marble bathrooms equipped with bidets and oversize 55-gallon tubs. The hotel is a few blocks from Rockefeller Center and 5th Avenue shopping.

Built in the 1790s as a classic Cape Cod cottage, this place has been turned into anything but your typical B&B—rooms have each been luxuriously designed around a particular theme, with the utmost good taste and flair. Each room has a fireplace, and beds have feather mattresses and high-thread-count cotton sheets that would be hard to leave were it not for the savory smell of the professionally cooked brunch wafting up the stairs.

The house, built in 1810, was remodeled in 1838 when classical detailing was all the rage (witness the majestic columns in the front hall). If the interior recalls 17th-century Italy, it's because most of the furniture came from the current owner's palazzo near Modena. Elegant marquetry tables grace the parlors and lush silk draperies dress many windows. Extensive gardens surround the house, and a sculpture garden displays works by local artists. If arranged three days in advance, guests can order a three-course dinner prepared by your hosts.

One of the newer additions to Millbrook's pantheon of hotels, the Millbook Inn is a sophisticated country house located a few miles from the center of town. Set in a former boys' school dormitory, the restored rooms are decorated with traditional dark wood furniture and black-and-white photographs. The Anne Room has a four-poster bed and a hot tub. The inn also has a restaurant.

Spanning two towers near the United Nations, this Hilton offering starts on the 28th floor and has fabulous views—ask for a room facing west, toward Manhattan's skyline. A multilingual staff caters to a discerning clientele, including heads of state. The serene rooms are warmly lit with soft neutral tones and furnished with work desks and ergonomic chairs, Crabtree & Evelyn bath products, and Hilton's luxurious linen collection. Standout amenities include the only indoor tennis court in a New York hotel (by appointment only), a 24-hour fitness center, and a convenient coffee bar serving Italian Illy products and pastries and sandwiches. The on-site restaurant, Ambassador Grill, and lobby are both designated New York City interior landmarks.

Cathedral ceilings, Arts and Crafts styling, and towering windows with views of white cliffs or deep forests contribute to the delight of this lodge. Works by local artists and photographers add interest. Some guest rooms have balconies.

Understated elegance is the rule at this châteaulike property. Mirbeau is French for "reflected beauty" and appropriately, the complex wraps around a water garden with lovely lilies and an arched wooden walkway. The 10,000-square-foot Roman-style spa has the region's most extensive treatment menu. Rooms have fireplaces, French-country furnishings, down comforters, and soaking tubs. On Saturday night the elegant Giverny restaurant, which serves contemporary takes on seafood and game, hosts live jazz. Four- and five-course tasting menus are available.

Sophisticated and sleek, and on the edge of SoHo, the ModernHaus wows with understated luxury that never sacrifices comfort for style. The guest rooms are elegant, from the dark-wood floors to the well-chosen art, but the real focus is the view of Manhattan out the giant windows—who needs a TV (there is one) when you can just stare out at the city? Jimmy, the rooftop bar next to the seasonal plunge pool, has a nightly DJ, but bring your fashion A-game as it attracts a well-dressed crowd. The spacious 17th-floor gym has amazing views, too.

The sprawling, family-friendly "American castle" has views of the bay and myriad amenities and events. The Tudor-style Manor, built in 1927 as a luxury resort, is now a condominium, so each unit is decorated differently. Most units are bright and have contemporary furnishings; some have loft bedrooms with skylights, patios, or balconies. Jitneys take you to the beaches, and beach passes are available. Events such as a children's festival and murder-mystery weekend take place throughout the year. The restaurant, Tre Bella, offers traditional southern and northern Italian cuisine.

In business for eight decades, this resort on Star Island in Montauk Harbor, with a mini-replica of the Montauk Lighthouse, has a 232-slip marina, a private beach, various restaurants and lounges, and family activities. These include bonfires and movies on the lawn, fishing, a spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and surf camps and paddleboard lessons. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, and nautical design. Not every room has an ocean view, so if this is important to you, make sure you verify this when booking.

This stylish five-floor boutique hotel opened in 2021 with sleek, modern rooms designed by Vanessa Guilford that make the most of limited space. The Chelsea location is handy, as it's near some of New York's best art galleries, bars, and restaurants. Clean and simple rooms have great amenities for the price, including free Wi-Fi, Frette linens and robes, and luxury D.S. & Durga bath products. The hotel is named after early-19th-century poet Clement Clarke Moore who owned much of the land in the area. 

This sleek 42-floor property, first flicking on its lights in 2022, is a breath of fresh air on the Chelsea hotel landscape—especially if you're lucky enough to get a room on the higher floors to enjoy the stunning views. Rooms feature comfy platform beds with channel-tufted headboards and bathrooms clad in handsome blue tiles. Guest room walls are bedecked with art and photographs that reference New York City. For families, some rooms offer a king-size bed with a twin bed above it as a bunk. The on-property state-of-the-art fitness center is worth getting worked-up about. 

Linger over breakfast by the pool and hot tub, which face the Shawangunk cliffs, or in the country kitchen. Later you may want to test your badminton game in the garden or shoot some pool in the cozy rec room, which also features a fireplace. Frills and florals adorn furnishings in the guest rooms.

Moxy pays tribute to the historic trade in this part of Chelsea, the Flower District, with an on-site florist, a rooftop club 35 floors up called the Fleur Room, and bunches of flowers set in random spaces. The small, but stylish rooms have comfortable king-size beds, floor-to-ceiling windows (upper floors have killer views), and showers are tastefully, bedecked in white tile with rain shower heads. The groundfloor hosts an artisanal bakery, the second-floor bar/lounge serves snacks and cocktails, and the glass-enclosed rooftop bar has 360-degree Manhattan views. 

The hip Moxy Hotel, which uses playful design details like graffitied mirrors and concert-poster wall art to conjure the neighborhood's gritty past, has an upbeat vibe that fits in seamlessly with what is now a trendy part of the East Village. Rooms aren’t large but make excellent use of space and all have big windows that let in lots of light. There’s plenty of room to relax downstairs in the lobby lounge, which has comfy couches, a terrace that's open to the outdoors in warm-weather months, an all-day café counter, and a full bar serving innovative cocktails. 

Among Midtown's trendy lodging choices is this good-value hotel designed with modern boutique swagger and a vibrant dining and drinking scene. One of several Moxy hotels in NYC, it's perched between Times Square and Penn Station. To maximize limited space, guest rooms employ \"urban camping\" design features such as under-the-bed drawers, hooks instead of closets, and sinks outside the bathroom. Expect comfort no matter the room or bed sizes (even for the bunk beds in some rooms, a treat for kids). Enjoy a drink at Bar Moxy or dine at seafood-centric Legasea. Magic Hour is one of Manhattan's biggest rooftop spaces; half nightclub and half bar, it's decorated as a sort of adults-only amusement park.

Surrealist prints and busts of Thalia, the muse of comedy, adorn the lobby of this polished property, a good pick for guests looking for a Midtown boutique-hotel experience. Rooms are a decent size for Manhattan—averaging 270 to 350 square feet—and feel fresh and stylish. Six of the rooms have balconies, and spa suites have deep soaking tubs. All rooms come with fine bath products, big flat-screen TVs, extra-fast Wi-Fi, and other amenities included with the hotel's facilities fee. The Muse is pet-friendly, albeit with a $150 pet charge.

The first stateside location of London's Ned Hotel is run by Soho House so the property doubles as a private-member venue but, unlike many Soho House properties, anyone can book its elegant prewar rooms and guests and members alike get priority access to the hotel's northern Italian restaurant, Cecconi's, and Little Ned bar, where the cocktail list is helmed by Chris Moore, whose mixology credits include Dante and the Savoy. Contemporary art and bespoke chandeliers liven up the public spaces while the spacious rooms feature 11-foot ceilings (at minimum), emperor king beds, deluxe Cowshed toiletries, a writing desk, and a classy bar set-up, including a vermouth spritzer. What's more, they're pin-drop quiet.

The relatively large, modern rooms at this full-service chain hotel are a good base for exploration of some of the borough's best neighborhoods. If you need to get to Manhattan, major subway lines are a block away.

New-built but mimicking Federal-era design, this stone hotel faces the Niagara River. Many rooms have four-poster beds; all have detailed moldings, heavy draperies, reproduction Greek Revival armchairs, and more-contemporary luxuries such as electric fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, and some whirlpool baths. Ground-floor rooms have hardwood flooring. The hotel has a full spa and salon with multiple massage and beauty treatments. The Whirlpool Jet Boat tours leave from right across the street.

It's undeniably cool, combining a hip, slightly gritty feel with some luxe touches, but don't expect a lot of space to spread out—guest rooms have exposed distressed-cement ceilings and walls, with minimalist modern decor; north-facing rooms have unobstructed views of the Empire State Building (ask for a room with a terrace during warm months). A curtain separates the shower from the sleeping area.

The hip-yet-affordable NU, on one of Brooklyn's main nightlife and shopping streets, is perfect for visitors seeking a perch near the best of the borough. Flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, and hookups for your iPhone or laptop are pluses in the above-average-size rooms, and the minimalist white-and-gray color scheme is punctuated with eco-friendly flourishes like cork floors and organic cotton sheets (a few suites even have cozy hammocks). An on-site marketplace offers a selection of local Brooklyn snacks and drinks, including beer and wine.

Hanging baskets of flowers and picnic tables on the deck invite you to relax and enjoy the charm of this in-town two-story inn with sea views, a half block from the ocean. Staff is welcoming and helpful. Some rooms have whirlpool baths and more than one bathroom, and all are well maintained and clean.

Affordable, comfortable accommodations and a Shinecock Bay beach right across the street have garnered a loyal band of repeat guests for this family-run motel, and rooms with kitchens, on-site pool, and playground make it a good family choice. Some rooms have Jacuzzi tubs, and all rooms have a small porch or balcony.

The 1895 Victorian B&B, facing the tree-lined main square, has original oak, mahogany, and maple woodwork, including parquet floors, and stained-glass windows. Guest rooms, which vary considerably in size, are generally outfitted in a country look, with period antiques and some brass beds; new mattresses were installed in all rooms in 2008. The Old Library restaurant is next door.
