The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel is an upscale, mega-hotel with over 1,000 rooms and two buildings located on Denver’s popular pedestrian street full of shops and restaurants. Free shuttle access right outside the hotel, along with several bus stops, makes it easy to travel to area hotspots in a half-hour or less, including performance venues and sports stadiums. The Sheraton’s common areas offer tasteful, modern decor with lots of luxury accents. Amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, several on-site bars and restaurants, a chic business center, and a luxurious heated, rooftop pool that’s open year-round. Guests biggest complaint is that, compared to the common areas, most rooms are a bit dated and generic. Still, guests find the rooms spacious and clean, and some rooms offer spectacular views of the mountains or downtown. For a similar four-pearl hotel with different amenities -- such as an indoor lap pool, a whirlpool, and a spa -- try the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center.

The luxury Crawford Hotel opened inside Denver’s historic Union Station, just steps from the city’s light rail platforms and downtown’s dining and nightlife, in 2014. It combines the historic charm of the spectacular train station that’s full of popular restaurants and shops with the amenities and comforts of a modern hotel. Highlights include a spacious fitness center, Tesla courtesy car, and in-room spa and salon services provided by a local spa. The 112 rooms are striking, with marble bathrooms, mini-fridges, and Nespresso coffeemakers. Expect to pay extra for valet parking and a nightly amenity charge is added to the room rate. Another historic option downtown in the luxury segment is Hotel Teatro, which typically has lower rates.

This sprawling estate in Carolina Lowcountry provides a one-of-a-kind experience that uniquely blends southern history and almost otherworldly natural beauty: rivers, misty marshes, old oaks draped with wispy Spanish moss, and salty breezes. The main hotel building looks like a classic southern mansion, and the 50 Cottages and Cottage Suites are simultaneously homey and utterly luxurious, with working fireplaces, screen porches, and gorgeous bathrooms. The multi-bedroom Village Homes are also luxurious, but lack some of the nuances of the cottages. Guests can enjoy a range of recreational facilities, including golf, bicycling, tennis, croquet, kayaking, and swimming (in the two pools), and the luxury spa is highly acclaimed. It's not an overstatement to say that the Montage Palmetto Bluff is one of the most special properties in the entire country.

In a pretty spot on the banks of the Colorado River, Harrah's is a large hotel and casino with over 1,500 guest rooms and a wide range of facilities. It caters well to a variety of travelers, as there are separate pools and towers for adults and families, and even smoking and non-smoking casinos. The rooms here are fairly basic and bland, but they’re spacious and many have great views of the river. The hotel is priced comparatively with others in Laughlin, but offers greater facilities, such as the beautiful private beach, spa, and amphitheater. Expect to pay a daily resort fee.

This upper-middle-range riverfront hotel and casino has 1,164 rooms, spread across two towers and a replica riverboat that forms the hotel’s main building. It’s a cute and quirky theme that houses a spacious casino, two outdoor pools, and five restaurants and bars, including its very own microbrewery. As with its neighbor, the Edgewater Hotel and Casino, the guest rooms and public areas are gradually being updated, and those that are finished have a fresh, modern look. Many rooms have great views of the Colorado River and the desert. Rates here are low and will suit those on a tight budget, but it’s worth noting there’s a daily fee for Wi-Fi.

The Peabody is not quite as buttoned-up as one would expect from such a grand, historic, luxury property -- the place where Elvis Presley also had his senior prom. The hotel is probably most famous for its twice-daily duck parade, a quirky tradition that dates back to the 1930s in which a group of trained ducks are paraded through the lobby to the large marble fountain. There they swim all day before being ceremoniously walked back up to their home on the roof. There are plenty of more sophisticated features, including Chez Philippe, rated one of the most romantic restaurants in the country. The 464 rooms include 15 suites as well as an exclusive club level with concierge service and free drinks and snacks. Staying here is not easy on the wallet, but some may consider the price worth the charm.

Tucked away from rowdy college kids, this family-friendly gated condo community sits on 86 acres near a large, private, white sandy beach. The property feels safe and secure, and has four high-rise towers on the beach as well as cottages along a man-made lake. Units have one to five bedrooms with fully equipped kitchens and living rooms. Since the condos are individually owned, the decor can range from worn-out and dated to beachy chic. Access to some of the amenities (the Clubhouse, bicycles) are limited, and can cost more if rented from a private owner instead of the management company. Beach chair rental can be arranged ahead of time, eliminating the 5 a.m. run to stake out seats.

One of the most luxurious properties in Galveston, this hotel has more of a romantic vibe than one suited for families. Features include a refined restaurant, a beautiful spa with outdoor whirlpools, and simple, beachy rooms with comfy beds and modern amenities; it lacks a kids' club. The standout here is the pool. Surrounded by vine-covered columns, it has a whirlpool and swim-up bar, or guests can opt for poolside drink service from attendants. Getting to the beach requires crossing a sometimes busy road, but this four-pearl property offers a solid bang for the buck with generally reasonable rates considering the fresh, modern look and plethora of amenities.
