7. Stephanie Inn
Sitting along Cannon Beach in northern Oregon, the Stephanie Inn convinces many visitors that it is one of the state’s best seaside hotels. Recent guests praised the views of the Pacific Ocean and Haystack Rock as well as the customer service. The staff members at the Dining Room are no exception, as they serve up seasonal, locally inspired dishes that wow diners. Rooms have either a mountain or an ocean view, and all have gas fireplaces, to the delight of visitors. You’ll also find comfortable beds and wet bars in your digs. The warm colors used to decorate the luxury hotel exemplify its homey character.
8. Wentworth Mansion
Guests rave about Wentworth Mansion, applauding its long-standing commitment to the building’s history and its ability to deliver on contemporary luxury. Constructed in the late 1800s, the Wentworth Mansion exudes old-world charm, meaning it’s also the perfect Charleston home base for history buffs. Lodgers particularly praise the elegant decor, fantastic customer service, on-site spa, evening brandies and sherries, and complimentary hors d’oeuvres. Rooms include spacious bathrooms with whirlpool tubs, fireplaces or outside porches and, in some suites, sunrooms. Though guests say the rooms and overall atmosphere are relaxing, they note that the luxury doesn’t come cheap. However, its location is another feather in its cap; The Battery is nearby, as is the South Carolina Aquarium. Also, keep in mind that this hotel is a part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, which means that members of the INVITED rewards program can earn and redeem points here.
