29. Sonnenalp Hotel
The Sonnenalp Hotel was created long before Vail, Colorado, became one of the country’s most famous ski destinations. Modeled after a German ski lodge, the Sonnenalp Hotel illustrates European influence through its architecture, decor and dining options (guests love the Swiss Chalet restaurant). The hotel is situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and offers an array of activities for every season.

History comes to life at The Jefferson, Washington DC, which is the No. 4 best hotel in the District of Columbia and No. 27 in the country.

Home to a Michelin-starred restaurant, a sophisticated bar and several well-equipped meeting rooms, this hotel is a true Washington staple.
26. Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C.
What was once a Washington post office is now a glamorous hotel with dramatic touches like 16-foot ceilings in the guest rooms.

This Trump hotel is ideal for business travelers as there is 38,000 square feet of meeting and event space across 17 rooms, and the ballroom is one of the largest in the city. The hotel also houses a modern steakhouse and the Benjamin Bar & Lounge, which is appropriately named for Benjamin Franklin, the nation’s first Postmaster General.
25. Ocean House
The name Ocean House may bring to mind a weathered beach cottage, but in reality, this No. 1 Best Hotel in Rhode Island (and No. 25 Best Hotel in the USA) is a massive yellow Victorian mansion overlooking the sea. The only AAA Five Diamond property in Rhode Island, the Ocean House first opened in 1868 and has since grown into a culinary gem, a spa lover’s heaven and an increasingly popular wedding destination.
