The Blakely New York
136 West 55th Street, Bet. 6th & 7th Avenue

Styled like an old British social club, the quaint, 118-room Blakely boutique offers a hushed vibe, great Midtown West location between Central Park and Times Square, and large rooms with coffeemakers, microwaves, Frette robes, free Wi-Fi, and marble bathrooms. The Blakely's on-site restaurant, Black Tap, serves a free continental breakfast. Guests seeking a bit more service and an on-site bar may prefer the nearby London NYC, which offers 24-hour room service, a full-time concierge, and a chic bar with food and cocktails.

Harbourview Inn
2 Vendue Range

Harbour View Inn is a historic landmark, and the only waterfront hotel downtown. Original structural elements such as brick walls have been preserved, and the rooms have southern style (four-poster beds and white quilted coverlets). A gorgeous rooftop offers some of the city's best harbor views, and tons of shops, restaurants, and bars are within walking distance. Free extras such as breakfast, Wi-Fi, weekly skyline tours, and treats throughout the day add value, but the hotel lacks a fitness center, pool, and restaurant.

Panoramic View
272 Old Montauk Hwy

This sprawling resort tucked away on scenic Old Montauk Highway takes the word "panoramic" seriously: Every room comes with a direct ocean view and private patio or balcony. The 10-acre site is situated on a hillside and includes pretty walkways, an outdoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, and private beach access. Rooms are large and lovely, and amenities are plentiful -- but you’ll need a car to get to restaurants and nightlife.

Waipouli Beach Resort
4-820 Kuhio Highway

The upscale Waipouli Beach Resort is a collection of individually owned units, about half of which are managed by Outrigger. The 198 condos at this oceanfront property are a handsome exercise in island-home style, and they include high-end kitchens and terraces. The property has one of the nicest pools on Kauai's east side, but other services and activities are limited. Additionally, while the beach is pretty, reef outcroppings make it better for wading than swimming. On the other hand, it’s conveniently located across from a Starbucks and Safeway, halfway between north and south shore sights, and there’s an independent restaurant on-site. You can’t beat the sharp digs or central location, but those seeking upscale pampering and a better beach might consider the comparably priced Koa Kea in Poipu.

Le Meridien New Orleans
333 Poydras St

The Le Meridien New Orleans is an upscale hotel located in New Orlean's Central Business District, within walking distance of both the French Quarter and the Museum District. The 410 stylish rooms and suites are outfitted with comfortable beds, large work desks, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges. In-room Wi-Fi incurs an extra fee, however, unless you’re a SPG Member. The outdoor rooftop pool is a guest favorite, with a large sundeck, padded loungers, and cabanas. The massive, trendy lobby is another popular spot, where coffee, wine, and small plates are served. Ample meeting facilities, a business center, and a well-equipped fitness center round out the amenities here. Travelers seeking something closer to the French Quarter might want to consider the comparable Hyatt FrenchQuarter New Orleans.

Sheraton Boston Hotel
39 Dalton Street, Prudential Center

Attached to the Hynes Convention Center, this gigantic 1,220-room Sheraton caters to business travelers with the best pool and fitness-center complex in Back Bay, comfortable rooms with panoramic views of Boston, a free business lounge, and an on-site full-service FedEx Office. On-site dining is limited -- just a breakfast restaurant and a lobby bar and grill -- but there's plenty of eating options nearby. There's also a pesky fee for in-room Wi-Fi. It's worth comparing rates at nearby Courtyard by Marriott Boston Copley Square, which has free Wi-Fi throughout.

Canyon Ranch in Tucson
8600 E Rockcliff Rd

Canyon Ranch is a health spa and all-inclusive resort in north Tucson near the Santa Catalina Mountains. Here the focus is on wellness, nutrition, and fitness. Daily fitness classes along with informational lectures and a menu packed with healthy, low-calorie food help guests to jumpstart (or maintain) a healthy lifestyle. The color palette of the southwest inspired the decor of the rooms, which come complete with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and iPod docks. Immaculate, peaceful grounds and focused spa treatments all provide an incredibly relaxing environment. While many guests report feeling renewed after a visit -- especially after spending time in the 80,000-square-foot spa complex -- there is a hefty nightly resort fee and a three-night minimum stay.

The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa
160 East Flamingo Road

The highlights at this Westin are the brand's signature features: a large, modern gym, a great spa, and the Heavenly Bed. The dark atmosphere, dated decor, and sub-par upkeep diminish this mid-priced hotel's appeal. But travelers who want to be close to the Strip but away from the crowds will appreciate the location.

Two Bunch Palms
67425 Two Bunch Palms Trl

The upscale Two Bunch Palms Resort and Spa is renowned for its natural mineral springs and glamorous Hollywood past (it was a rumored hideout of Al Capone's). Originally built in 1930 as a private, gated resort on 77 acres, the current owners completed a multimillion dollar renovation in 2014 that gutted the 70 rooms, refreshed the grotto and pool, and brought a farm-to-table restaurant. The Grotto rooms still maintain some of their vintage details, notably in the bathrooms, while the Solstice rooms are modern and sleek. The spa has everything from mud baths to watsu pools. Grounds include hiking trails, lakes, and a walking labyrinth. A dedicated yoga dome, tennis courts, lap pool, and fitness center highlight the resort's emphasis on a healthy Californian lifestyle. Watch out for a daily resort fee and remember that bug sightings come standard with any natural, outdoor property. Signs asking guests to speak in a whisper and no kids allowed add to the overall zen-like quality of this eclectic and relaxing resort. 

El Cortez Hotel & Casino
600 East Fremont Street

One block from the Fremont Street Experience, the 362-room El Cortez is a solid value pick in downtown Vegas. Standard rooms are small and dated, but renovated Cabana Suites are bursting with bright colors, and the four individually decorated Designer Suites feature cool design details. Like most hotels in downtown Vegas, El Cortez lacks a pool and has limited dining choices, though its casino restaurant, Siegel's 1941, has a retro brasserie vibe that pays tribute to the hotel's midcentury vintage. Travelers could consider the nearby Golden Nugget, which has two pools and several restaurant options including buffets and steakhouses, as an alternative, but its location isn't as quiet.
