AVABLUhotel1 Hotel Hanalei Bay – Kauai, Hawaii
$$$ |
Gold List 2024 
Readers' Choice Awards 2023Kauaui's 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay has all the ingredients you might want to cook up a truly magical Hawaiian getaway—a swimmable beach right out front, a legendary surf break a short paddle away, a stunning main pool (and a sleek adults-only one), great onsite bars and restaurants, a cute town nearby for exploring, and easy access to excellent hiking. But what makes this property truly stand out in an archipelago dotted with luxe oceanfront resorts is that it’s also a legitimate wellness destination, with cutting-edge medi-spa offerings as well as serious fitness and mind/body programming. Guest rooms are a study in neutrals—sand-hued walls, reclaimed teak ceilings and furniture with rope and reed accents. Potted plants live in woven baskets and stag ferns are mounted on the walls, dried grass skirts are hung like pieces of art, the bathroom walls are lined with lava stone, and the island’s seafaring history comes through in the most subtle of ways—sconces that almost resemble fishing nets, or a single conch shell displayed on a shelf. The service on-site is casual but professional, and everyone from the concierge to the person helping you get set up at the pool is incredibly friendly and more than happy to share their favorite spots around the island. As for the Bamford Wellness Spa, I'm not exaggerating when I say the treatments are transcendent. Menu highlights include treatments that incorporate native Hawaiian medicinal plants like kava and noni, massages on a quartz bed (it’s like lying in warm sand while getting your kinks and knots worked out), and floats in the sensory deprivation tank, where you lose track of time and space in the best way possible: A single 60-minute session can be the equivalent of four hours of REM sleep. From $1,200. —Rebecca Misner
Courtesy Michael Baxter/Arizona BiltmorehotelThe Arizona Biltmore – Phoenix
$$ | Gold List 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023Once you’re at the Biltmore, there’s no need to really leave. You’re here to be here, though the surrounding desert landscape and Piestewa peak in full view behind the main lawn deliver the “you’re in Arizona” memo. For a hotel with over 700 rooms (amazingly, it doesn’t feel like it), each manages to feel classically luxurious without steering into the cold or cookie-cutter. Plush beds, desertscape artwork, and bulbous ceramic lamps all over make the room feel both set in the Southwest and tony enough for a Waldorf. For a resort where you plan to stay on-site most of your time, the food has to deliver—by and large, it does. McArthur’s serves reliable American classics, though Renata's Hearth with its smoke-inspired menu is the place to dress up and dine at after a long day in the sun. You could come here just for the spa, where they lean into astrology, crystals, and chakra opening in a big way, resulting in massages and body work that are just that much more interesting than the usual offerings. There are unsurprisingly a ton of families here thanks to family-friendly features like connecting rooms, activities and areas just for children (such as the very popular kids’ pool), and the ease with which parents can take turns escaping for a yoga or pickleball class (it’s a very big place). That said, no matter how great the spa treatments are, nothing can melt away stress like flinging yourself down the waterslides—don’t write them off as just for kids. From $299. —Megan Spurrell
Courtesy The Breakers Palm BeachhotelThe Breakers Palm Beach – Florida
$$$ | Gold List 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023For a good part of a century, Palm Beach has been a winter magnet for those attracted to a luxurious oceanfront getaway. And undoubtedly the most recognizable fixture within that pull is The Breakers, a 534-room beachside hotel that presents itself less as a resort and more like a palace—at least that’s what my children said on a recent stay. The majestic narrative is in part due to the grand architecture that emulates 15th-century Italian villas, inclusive of gilded and fresco ceilings hand-painted by Florentine artisans. But if you think The Breakers is stuck in the past, then just take in its annual $30 million reinvestment fund that has given way to contemporary additions like HMF, a vibey lounge named after the property’s founder, railroad and oil tycoon Henry Morrison Flagler, that serves sexy cocktails. The Breakers leans into its Florida feels with a waterside area that’s home to four sparking pools, a private beach, and enough palm trees to populate a rainforest. Guest rooms, marked by neutral shades that deliberately play second fiddle to the view of either turquoise blue ocean or verdant gardens, match the resort’s comfortable sophistication, with linens that feel as decadent as the legendary Sunday brunch. From $1,090. —Nila Do Simon
Casa CiprianihotelCasa Cipriani – New York City
$$$ | Gold List 2024This New York hotel is a Cipriani property, so it’s luxury to the max, but in that effortlessly chic Italian sort of way. Picture it: presidential suites featuring cashmere-covered walls by Loro Piana Interiors—that’s the sort of luxurious detail you’ll find in every nook and cranny of the guest rooms at Casa Cipriani. The sheets on the bed are from the 150-year-old luxury linen house Rivolta Carmignani based in Macherio, just outside of Milan. Prior to check-in guests can choose between Italian cotton or Italian linen. It’s hard not to fall completely under the spell of the hotel from the minute you step into your room or suite. Maybe it’s the Art Deco light fixtures or artwork on the wall. Maybe it’s the jazz playing softly in the background, or the way the setting sun hit the lacquer furniture and the shiny brass knobs. But perhaps the most remarkable thing about the guest rooms at Casa Cipriani are the private terraces. The spacious private terraces. Be sure to request a river-facing room because there’s really nothing like this view anywhere in town: Next to the hotel, you’ve got the Staten Island Ferry pulling in and out of Whitehall Terminal; that’s Governor’s Island straight ahead, and beyond that, Brooklyn. To your right, you’ve got the Statue of Liberty. But there’s also so much going on inside Casa Cipriani that no one would blame you if you spent your entire stay on the premises: the Club restaurant, the Jazz Café, the Pickering Room, the Promenade Bar, and the Living Room. On top of all that, the hotel service is attentive but not at all intrusive. They truly make you feel like you’re the most important person in the room, and who doesn’t want to feel like that for a few nights? From $800. —Lauren DeCarlo
Cameron WilderhotelThe Charleston Place – South Carolina
$$$ | Gold List 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023Since opening in 1986, The Charleston Place has garnered praise for its architectural sleight of hand. Hidden behind a row of diminutive and colorful 19th-century storefronts lurks the Holy City’s largest hotel: a behemoth at 434 rooms, with upper floors deliberately set back to render them invisible from street view, preserving the intimate scale of the city. At ground level, good-natured jacketed greeters swing open double glass doors to usher you into gleaming marble hallways lined with high-end boutiques and galleries, culminating in a grand central lobby. Locals know it well: They lounge here after church on weekends, listening to live music before heading in to the Palmetto Café for its stupendous brunch spread; or they gussy up for special occasion dinners at the hotel’s award-winning Charleston Grill. Over the decades, the hotel has cemented an excellent reputation, first as an Orient Express property and then part of the Belmond collection, but it now boasts the distinction of being locally owned. Charleston resident Ben Navarro, the billionaire and visionary behind Beemok Hospitality Collection, made headlines in late 2021 when he purchased the property and launched a no-expenses-spared restoration and rejuvenation of what was already a beloved Charleston icon. Uppermost rooms reach enviable heights by Charleston standards, affording views to the glimmering harbor beyond, just one reason this hotel towers above its peers. From $350. —Allston McCrady
Jason Frank Rothenberg/Courtesy Chateau MarmonthotelChateau Marmont – Los Angeles
$$$ | Gold List 2024This hotel is set up to make you feel like a somebody. Whether you’re peeking over your sunglasses at the infamous palm-shrouded pool or sipping bubbly at the moody lobby bar, you’ll find reminders on menus stating that photos are not allowed in public spaces. The design, with 1920s tiles, a full kitchen, and a pink Deco-era bathroom that made me think of the one at my grandparents’ house in Pasadena, explained how so many celebrities have been able to make the Chateau their home for weeks, months, even years. In my room I also found a room-service menu that said “No Smoking” beside an ashtray. What you need to understand is that when you’re a guest here, you have free rein. You get priority for reservations in the restaurant’s garden (unless Sofia Coppola books it out for the night), and if you want to enjoy the pool after checking out, the staff will gladly give you access. So maybe I didn’t swing from a chandelier at some party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio. But when old friends stopped by for fried artichokes and wine one night, we all got to pretend we didn’t notice Fred Armisen at the next table. By the time I rolled my suitcase out the front door, I understood that Eagles’ lyric: “You can check out any-time you like, but you can never leave.” Fine by me. From $595. —Megan Spurrell
Eden Rock - St BarthshotelEden Rock St Barths
$$$ | Gold List 2018, 2022, 2024 
Hot List 2018, 2020 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023You can become a little numb to beauty in St. Barts, but even after having been on island for days, I think I squealed when I pulled into Eden Rock. It’s just so perfect—so chic, so glamorous, but in this easy, island-appropriate way. It’s the type of place that just being there makes you feel like the most glam, sun-kissed version of yourself. The hotel is almost entirely surrounded by calm, gin-bottle blue water that’s heavenly for a swim. There’s a diving platform a little ways out, and you can take out rafts and paddle around the point, and there’s a reef if you want to snorkel. The rooms are lovely and elegant, with a subtle Carib-meets-nautical vibe, at once bright and airy. When it comes to the food, rockstar chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is in charge of the menu at the main restaurant, and the resort’s breakfast spread is insane in scope and quality; don’t miss it. Sure, you could have a delightful breakfast by your private pool, but the people-watching here is too good—you’d be missing an opportunity if you stayed in. It’s a pretty diverse crowd in some ways, but the common denominator, to tell it straight, is money. This place is not cheap, but it’s one of the rare hotels that is absolutely worth it. The setting is unparalleled and the food, service, and design are top of the top. There is no way you’ll go and not dream (maybe nightly) about going back—it’s that special. From $1,554. —Rebecca Misner
Courtesy Fairmont Hotel VancouverhotelFairmont Hotel Vancouver – Canada
$$ | Gold List 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2019, 2022, 2023Nicknamed the Castle in the City, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver feels grand at every step, and in fact boasts royal roots: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later dubbed the Queen Mother) were among the first visitors, and their stay marked the property’s ceremonious opening back in 1939. Some 80 years later, an extensive five-year renovation to the tune of $75 million was completed on the downtown Vancouver property, and with it came Fairmont Gold, a hotel within a hotel. For guests who book a Gold room or suite, check-in takes place on your own floor (9 or 14), and a full breakfast is available just inside the private lounge, which in my case was roughly six steps away from my room. Ceramic pots of delicious fresh salmon were among the offerings I scooped up each morning before padding back to my room, coffee and meal in hand (I had to WFH—work from hotel; otherwise I’d have sat down in one of the lounge’s many banquettes or tables). While there is plenty of great food to be had around the city—and in the lobby at the always-bustling Notch8 Restaurant and Bar—there was a much-appreciated ease to having afternoon tea, evening hors d’oeuvres, or the aforementioned morning meal so accessible, and I imagine even more so for families traveling together. The grandiose hotel’s Art Deco–influenced aesthetic leans into deep blues and bronzes, with marble and velvet accents—a look that carries into the rooms too. Left in place after the renovation was much of the building’s original woodwork, crown moldings, and built-in decorative fireplaces that keep the hotel’s historic feel alive and well. More modern (and welcomed) touches I made use of during my restful stay: Le Labo bath products, an in-room Nespresso maker, the 24-hour gym and sauna, and an indoor pool open year-round. From $240. —Madison Flager
Courtesy of Farmhouse InnhotelFarmhouse Inn – Sonoma
$$$ | Gold List 2018, 2019, 2020, 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023While it’s tempting to paint Sonoma as a sleepy, indie sweep of California wine country, the truth is, the county is every bit as—if not more—booming than neighboring Napa. It’s got Michelin-starred restaurants, shiny new tasting rooms, and big-name hotels cropping up on the regular. But to try a little of that sweet Sonoma of yesteryear, there’s no better place for it than Farmhouse Inn. Located near the Russian River—and within easy driving distance to charming Healdsburg, as well as some of the region's best vineyards—this 25-room property feels delightfully laid-back and intimate. There’s a lovely, recently refreshed spa, a charming little swimming pool, and the most beautiful gardens, especially if you come in late spring or early summer when the roses are going off. There’s a natural, easy elegance to the property, and its ethos feels in-step with Sonoma’s winemaking and farming roots. The Inn has five different room categories, and all are beautiful with a country-chic look; bright and airy with white wainscoting, pillowy bedding, and haute-rustic touches that might include a personal welcome message on small blackboard (the type you see at an honor-system farmstand offering fresh eggs), a fireplace, and comfortable overstuffed chairs. The Farmhouse Restaurant occupies a beautiful space—like the most elegant version of a convivial farmhouse dining room—and offers an ever-evolving chef’s tasting menu with hyper local ingredients paired with, naturally, a stellar regional wine list. All in all, Farmhouse Inn looks and feels like a classic New England country charmer—with California wine-country street cred. From $595. —Rebecca Misner
Christian Horan/Four SeasonshotelFour Seasons at the Surf Club – Miami
$$$ | Gold List 2019, 2024 Hot List 2018 Readers' Choice Awards 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023In the quiet residential enclave of Surfside, ensconced between the skin-revealing glitter of Miami Beach proper and the buttoned-up flash of Bal Harbour, the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is a timeless and all-welcoming, new-fashioned take on old-school glamor. Opened in 2017, the hotel builds upon the illustrious circa 1931 beach club that hosted America’s most distinguished throughout the mid 20th century, including Gary Cooper, Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, and Elizabeth Taylor, for fashion-forward parties, beach soirees, and alcohol-fueled overnights—epic enough to enshrine The Surf Club into Florida cultural history (and merit a standalone Assouline coffee-table book). Today, the beachfront legend continues with the resurrection of The Surf Club to its full Mediterranean Revival architectural glory, now enveloped by a series of three, 12-story modernist glass-framed towers. In 72 of the 77 guest rooms and suites in the new towers, glass balconies give way to soothing interiors by famed Paris-based creator Joseph Dirand, delivering design studies in midcentury modern updated for the present day, underscored by juxtapositions of travertine–finished spaces, clean-lined-yet-curvaceous hybrid furnishings, and tastefully gilded accents. (A similar style prevails in the five lower-level Ocean Bungalows, which occupy architect Russell T. Pancoast’s beach cabanas of yore.) The restored historic building oozes vintage glam from all corners, down to the black marble check-in desk (where a fully stocked complimentary Champagne cart awaits upon arrival) and Lido Restaurant and Champagne Bar, the Club’s former ballroom thoughtfully transformed into a drop-dead gorgeous, local-frequented Italian hotspot. From $1,500. —Paul Rubio
The Greenwich HotelhotelThe Greenwich – New York City
$$$ | Gold List 2020, 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2018, 2021For one of my first visits to New York as a teenager, a family friend offered to host me for the weekend. I didn’t know him that well, but I heard the words “Manhattan apartment” and conjured visions of leather armchairs and silk rugs, parlor palms and walnut desks, and artwork sourced from far-flung travels. My grand expectations didn’t meet reality—but they do here at The Greenwich Hotel. This exquisitely designed property in Tribeca opened its doors in 2008, but feels like it’s been part of the city’s fabric for much longer. Perhaps it’s the hotel’s lived-in aesthetic textures: Not one of its 87 rooms, suites, and penthouses looks like another, all furnished by your chicest, most well-traveled uncle. In the guest rooms, there are Savoir beds, hand-made and cloud-like; in the bathrooms, Carrara marble and Moroccan tile; in the lobby, terra-cotta floors modeled after those in a 14th-century Italian palazzo; in the spa (featuring, in my humble opinion, the best indoor pool in Manhattan), timber that once held up a 250-year-old farmhouse in Japan—all of it undeniably luxe yet somehow unpretentious. Or maybe it’s The Greenwich’s rep: One of the owners is the actor Robert De Niro, who grew up nearby; paintings by his father, the abstract expressionist Robert De Niro Sr., add colorful drama to the hotel’s walls (childhood photos of both Bobbys, found in some guest rooms, are delightful Easter eggs). Or it might be the service: polished and friendly, familiar in a welcome way. With its thoughtful design and hospitality ethos, The Greenwich Hotel can’t help but echo the old Italian American saying: When you’re here, you’re family. From $975. —Matt Ortile
STEVEN ROTHFELDhotelMeadowood – Napa
$$$ | Gold List 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022There are a lot of excellent places to stay in Napa Valley, but Meadowood has been the veritable heart of this region for over 60 years, and it shows. In a nutshell, it feels marvelously, authentically, singularly Napa—from its 36 guest rooms and suites designed by locally based, globally renowned architect Howard Bracken, to its impressive wine center spotlighting the area’s best vineyards, and a spa that taps into the area’s centuries-old legacy as a wellness destination. The guest rooms and suites have a sort of chic barn feel. They aren’t at all rustic–clean lines, a sea of white and neutrals–but the wainscoting and high, beamed ceilings do give fancy farmhouse energy. Cottages and suites all have private porches, and though they are open-planned and airy, the fireplaces, soaking tubs, window seats and comfy sofas keep things cozy. The spa is a real highlight and should not be missed. The space is soothing—low-lit with a big fireplace and deep sofas in the entry area. The vibe is welcoming and a true continuation of the resort’s aesthetic (rather than some minimalist, antiseptic annex, which is often the case), with lots of neutrals and dark grays, olive-hued tones, and organic materials. As far as restaurants go, there’s the Terrace Café—alfresco and open only to guests of the resort and club members—that serves light, local fare. While I was there, I had an excellent ceviche-and-quinoa bowl at the all-day spot Forum. The menu is seasonally inspired (so menu items rotate), leans locally sourced, and has excellent vegetarian options as well as, not surprisingly, a stellar wine list. Like most places in this wildfire-prone part of the state, landscaping on-site is kept to mostly native or drought-tolerant plants that don’t require a huge amount of water (to help prevent fires, the property has sheep and goats to eat the growth). In the wake of the Glass Fire, the property has replanted 2,300 trees and has additional reforestation efforts planned. The resort leans into sourcing locally (wine, food, spa ingredients) and hiring locally. As such, the staff is warm, helpful, and knowledgeable. The quality of service is high but not so formal and fussy—it may be Napa, but this is, after all, California. From $900. —Rebecca Misner
Courtesy Round Hill Hotel and VillashotelRound Hill Hotel and Villas – Montego Bay, Jamaica
$$$ | Gold List 2024It’s easy to imagine that very little has changed at this 1950s-era resort since John F. Kennedy absconded to Cottage 25 to chip away at his inaugural address and Oscar Hammerstein wrote The Sound of Music while taking in the killer ocean views. The green-striped awnings shading vast terraces and the interiors’ cream-colored paneling offset by dark wood, along with the tea and sandwiches served at four sharp every afternoon, enhance that caught-in-time feeling. That in recent years Ralph Lauren had a major hand in the design is a delightful nonsurprise, with a playful preppiness on display at every turn, like the bar with its deep booth benches upholstered in navy and white stripes and photos of bygone guests, like Warren Beatty, covering the walls. From $875. —Charlie Hobbs
Photo by Andrew PoguehotelThompson Seattle
$ | Gold List 2024 Hot List 2017 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023Designers and building buffs love the Thompson chain’s focus on architectural details, and its Seattle location, which debuted in 2016, doesn’t disappoint. With an angular glass exterior by local firm Olson Kundig and modern-yet-friendly furnishings throughout, the hotel has quickly earned a reputation as Seattle’s most stylish stay. Dividing the lobby from handsome all-day restaurant Conversation Kitchen & Bar, a floating staircase signals that this is a hotel for Dwell-reading design fans who lust over notebooks from Leuchtturm1917 and midcentury chairs. Just ahead, an arc-necked floor lamp peeps over a pine green, velour wrap-around sofa—creating a well-lit spot to relax with your morning coffee or wait for a friend. For floor-to-ceiling windows that, on the west side of the building, make you feel like you’re floating over the Puget Sound, grab a Water View room. It can run more than $100 extra, but it’s a dazzling effect you don’t want to miss. Throughout, rooms are sharply furnished and understated, with dark woods, navy accents, and stately pin-striped duvets. In the summer of 2023, the hotel unveiled a pair of 1,000-square-foot penthouse suites designed by the local firm Haus + Home, which beautifully translate the hotel’s vibe into a minimalist-luxe urban loft living experience. In addition to the priority service that comes with a penthouse reservation, the suites have large kitchens and lots of appealing details, from the record player and wine fringe to the local art and band posters. On warm evenings, flocks of locals head to rooftop bar The Nest to share vodka-and-Courvoisier punch served from copper flamingos or to sip on locally brewed beers. If The Nest is full, score one of the sleek barstools downstairs at Conversation, a good restaurant that churns out excellent cocktails.On top of all that, the Thompson has the friendliest staff in town. With an uncanny ability to remember every guest who books one of the hotel’s 152 rooms, the concierge crew always comes through with first-rate dining recs and offers to make reservations. Between the epic design details, the dizzying views, and the dangerous amount of good drinks flowing from its two bars, the Thompson offers one of the most delightful stays in Seattle. From $269. —Jessica Voelker
Courtesy White ElephanthotelWhite Elephant Nantucket
$$$ | Gold List 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023Nantucket's hotel scene has grown up quite a bit over the past few years, with exciting new boutique offerings (Faraway, Life House) making waves and drawing younger, more trend-setting travelers to the brahmin island than ever before. But the most tried-and-true hotel here is one of the oldest: the harborside White Elephant, a historic inn-and-cottages resort that masters classic New England chic whilst keeping up with the times. Case in point, the resort just celebrated its 100th birthday with a complete top-to-bottom renovation of the 54-key hotel and 11 on-site cottages, including a new artist-in-residency program and airy interiors paying homage to the island's basket-weaving and seafaring heritage. Cerulean textiles, brass elephant-head door knockers, wood-and-leather armchairs, and marble accents compliment the ocean and white caps just beyond your window (or spacious seating area and balcony, if you spring for a suite). The serene great lawn and Brant Point Grill make up perhaps the most spacious stretch of waterfront dining on the island—perfect for a hearty lobster-leaning breakfast, or a perfectly balanced cocktail and raw-bar spread if you're just visiting to take in the bobbing sail boats and passing ferries. And it's all mere steps (or a complimentary bike pedal, all of about three minutes) from all the cobblestones, climbing roses, and summer crowds in town—something that, on this historic and well-loved island, you really can't beat. From $375. —Shannon McMahon
Courtesy XV BeaconhotelXV Beacon — Boston
$$ | Gold List 2018, 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023Located in Beacon Hill just steps from the Massachusetts State House and the bustling financial district, XV Beacon (say “Fifteen Beacon” if you’re talking about it) is a transportive paradise of serenity and relaxation. The vibe is sexy—lots of dark-stained woods, crimson accents, and antique furniture—but the ethos is entirely Boston. With only seven guest rooms per floor, XV Beacon has a distinctly residential feel, and rooms are spacious but still intimate. The fact that each one comes with a personal fireplace speaks to the level of luxury and coziness here. Every detail feels special, from the Frette linens and the one-of-a-kind commissioned artworks to the cashmere throws and the pillow menu. And there’s no better way to unwind after a day of meetings or hiking the Freedom Trail than with a soak in the white-marble tub, a feature of some rooms. Looking for food and drink? Mooo.... (three O’s, four periods) on the first floor takes the best parts of steakhouses (grass-fed beef, a killer dessert list, a solid brunch) and distills them into something that works for a boutique hotel of this scale. Not too keen on getting dressed up for dinner? Don't worry; the entire menu can be delivered directly to your door. And with only 63 rooms, the hotel offers a degree of attention and service you generally don’t find at Boston’s larger hotels. Staff is used to making check-in and check-out seamless and offering personal touches throughout the stay. Every detail of the experience feels tailor-made to this hotel, right down to the custom fragrance that welcomes you the moment you step into the lobby. From $495. —Todd Plummer
