I stayed at the most exclusive 16th-century mansion in Majorca

The can bordoy grand house & garden is minutes from palma airport.

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn commission. Read our full commerce guidelines  here .

Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden really does exceed expectations. Behind its elegant white stone façade, I was swept away by the blissfully calm atmosphere and enchanted at first glance. 

Entering via an enclosed and cobble courtyard flooded with tree-dappled sunlight, hotel staff greeted me warmly before showing me through to a tranquil and secluded walled garden - the largest private garden in Majorca's capital Palma - where I relaxed with a refreshing mocktail. I had entered an urban oasis in the middle of the buzzy old town. 

The beautiful boutique was once a 16th-century mansion and home to a Sacred Heart primary school, with the design staying true to its roots. 

The renovated mansion house, mastered by local architects Paloma Hernaiz and Jaime Oliver, features mature trees, original fixtures, ancient artwork, shaded seating areas, private corners and an elegant pool - all were flawless in style and boasted a magical feel.

Each room is a sanctuary of opulence, combining the perfect blend of the classic and contemporary. The rooms are equipped with ultra-plush beds, stone bathrooms, high ceilings, contemporary chairs and a well-stocked minibar, which also acts as a radio, playing ambient jazz music. 

The bespoke furniture screamed luxe, with its dark wooden frames, thick velvet blue drapes and dimmable lights. A special mention goes to the extra-large King-sized bed that came with luxe white linen and an adjustable mattress – it was pure bliss! 

The TV was disguised within a floor-to-ceiling mirror, keeping the illusion of staying in a period mansion. No expense is spared on the bedroom extras, featuring aromatherapy toiletries from Diptyque. Each room clearly reflects the aristocratic architecture, yet at the same time conveys modern decadence. 

You may also like

With its peaceful and calming environment, it makes perfect sense to come here for some rest and relaxation in their subterranean wellness area. The hotel houses a small spa – suitable to accommodate two guests at a time, accessible via pre-booking. 

On arrival, there were softly chiming cymbals and a dimly lit relaxation area, where guests can help themselves to herbal teas and lemon-infused water. The spa suite includes a spacious steam room, a two-person jacuzzi hot tub and a horizontal shower. There are also tented treatment beds in Can Bordoy's garden to allow the healing powers of nature in.

The intimate spa is separate from the outdoor heated garden pool and rooftop plunge pool, so it is particularly peaceful. 

If you are looking for a dose of vitamin D, head to the rooftop deck which boasts panoramic views of Palma and a glass-bottom plunge pool which also sends refracted light down the main stairs of the building. Alternatively, guests can relax in the tranquil and heated garden pool. 

Eat and drink

The hotel has one of the most charming places to eat thanks to its twisted greenery decorating the walls and ceiling. Not only that, the Bordoy family have even picked chairs from French palaces to add to the rustic vibe of the place. Hidden away at the back of the hotel, guests can dine at Botànic restaurant, run by accomplished chef Andrés Benitez. 

The carefully created menu features dishes with locally sourced, seasonal and organic products that are expertly executed and rich in flavour. 

The restaurant, which is famous for its inventive vegetarian tapas, also serves an exceptional breakfast buffet with plenty of seeds, fruit and nuts and the most refreshing fresh orange juice and local Cava. In keeping with the house and garden theme, the excellent staff treat guests more like friends. 

Many of Palma's best attractions are within walking distance including Castell Bellver, which offers panoramic views overlooking the city and the pine forests that surround this magnificent castle, Palma Cathedral, a Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral on the walls that surrounded Palma's old town, and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, the official residence of King Felipe and Queen Letizia during their stays in Mallorca. 

Being a few short steps away from the hustle and bustle of the city's shopping district, the boutique is ideally situated for keen shoppers. Despite this proximity, I was impressed with the lack of noise and fellow tourist intrusion. 

In short, Can Bordoy is an impressive boutique, with beautiful attention to detail. I encourage those seeking solace with the opportunity for local exploration and indulgence to book a state immediately.

15 Best Hotels in Charleston

Here’s where to stay on your next trip to the Holy City.

Drew Castelhano/Hotel Bennett

Charleston, South Carolina has been voted the top city in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure readers in the World's Best Awards for more than a decade. Its walkability, culinary landscape, cultural offerings, and beauty, both natural and human-made, come together to create a destination that appeals to all kinds of travelers. It also manages to balance a dedication to preserving history while embracing creativity, ambition, and newness throughout its various neighborhoods.

This uniquely Charleston identity even extends to the city’s incredibly diverse and dynamic roster of hotels — where historic mansions and luxury properties operate next to smaller accommodations focused on boutique experiences. Not a single one of the Holy City’s best hotels follows a cookie-cutter pattern; each actively creates a distinct narrative and reason for being.

As both a travel writer and a former Charleston resident, I can attest to the fact that Charleston’s hotels are a big part of the local community. Yes, they accommodate out-of-town guests, but they also use their coveted locations to provide an additional place for locals to get coffee with an old friend, sip cocktails with a book club, or sit down to an elevated dinner, whether it’s a special occasion or a regular date night. This neighborly atmosphere is what produces a hotel scene unrivaled by any other city in the South. Read on to discover the best hotels in Charleston, South Carolina.

Hotel Bennett

Also available to book at Expedia.com

It’s an all-in-one type of property with a rooftop pool, fitness center, spa, and several on-site restaurants.

King Street is known to be busy and loud, especially on the weekends.

“Hotel Bennett is truly Charleston’s best full-service luxury hotel, in my opinion,” says Elizabeth Rhodes , digital special projects editor at Travel + Leisure and native South Carolinian. “In a city full of smaller boutique properties, it stands out with its rooftop pool, spa, massive suites, and four fantastic dining venues.” Part of the Salamander Collection of properties, the 179-room hotel juxtaposes European elegance with Southern glamour, which you’ll experience as soon as you walk through the first-floor rotunda — known for its mural of 18th-century Charleston Harbor painted by Jill Baskin — and into the Grand Court Lobby. While you’ll never run out of places to eat in Charleston, keep the on-property restaurants La Patisserie, Gabrielle, Fiat Lux, and Camellias in mind as you plan your trip. According to Rhodes, “Afternoon tea at the perfectly pink Camellias is a must.”

The Details:

• Located on King Street in downtown Charleston
• Wi-Fi, access to the fitness center, and signature amenities are included in your stay
• 11 miles from Charleston International Airport (CHS)
• Next to Marion Square, where the Charleston Farmers Market is held weekly
• Rooms from $331 a night

John Rutledge House Inn

The complimentary full breakfast is the perfect way to start a day exploring Charleston.

Off-street parking is available, but you’ll need to pay an additional $18 a day per car.

For a thoughtful, intimate bed-and-breakfast experience, look no further than the John Rutledge House Inn, which T+L readers ranked No. 4 on the list of Charleston hotels in the 2023 World’s Best Awards . The building itself is highly recognizable from the outside, with its balconies, double entry staircase, and photogenic black-and-white checkerboard sidewalk greeting guests and passersby. The inside, however, is just as welcoming, with rooms and suites outfitted with period antiques, elegant canopy beds, and Italian marble gas fireplaces. It may be tempting to sleep the day away in your comfortable accommodations, but you won’t want to miss the full breakfast — which can be enjoyed in your room or in the courtyard, ballroom, or piazza — the afternoon hors d'oeuvres, or a glass of sherry in the evening.

T+L deputy photo editor Skye Senterfeit called this hotel "a truly special spot in Charleston." She continued, saying, "Every night of my October 2022 stay, I felt more like I was coming home than just coming back to a hotel. There’s history around every corner (inside and out) and always someone impossibly charming waiting to greet you at the desk."

• Located on Broad Street in downtown Charleston
• Wi-Fi, breakfast, afternoon tea, light hors d'oeuvres, and 24-hour concierge services are included with your stay
• 13 miles from Charleston International Airport
• Some of the best shopping on King Street is just around the corner
• Rooms from $299 a night

The Spectator Hotel

Also available to book at Hotels.com

The team of personal butlers is there to ensure your stay is seamless — and you experience the best of the best in Charleston.

This part of town is often crowded with tourists visiting popular attractions like Rainbow Row and Charleston City Market.

For an extra-large helping of Southern hospitality, consider The Spectator Hotel for your next trip to the Holy City. “The Spectator stands out with its plush rooms and personal butler service for every guest. The lovely staff of butlers are on hand to help however they can; on my most recent trip in March 2023, that meant tying my boyfriend’s bowtie as we rushed off to a wedding and providing some stellar recommendations for places to eat,” says Rhodes. You can expect this level of service from morning — enjoy the complimentary breakfast delivered right to your room — to night, when it’s time for a celebratory drink.  “I highly recommend grabbing a drink or two in the bar; the friendly bartenders mix up some really inventive and delightful cocktails,” Rhodes adds.

• Located in the French Quarter in downtown Charleston
• Room service breakfast, personalized butler service, access to a fitness center, bicycles, and a welcome drink are included with your stay
• 12 miles from Charleston International Airport
• The Gibbes Museum of Art and local favorite Harken Cafe are a short walk away
• Rooms from $289 a night

Wentworth Mansion

The history of the building is apparent on every level, allowing guests to experience what it may have been like to stay in a Gilded Age home.

It’s a smaller property, with only 21 rooms, which isn’t every traveler’s cup of tea.

Wentworth Mansion received top marks in the 2023 World’s Best Awards, coming in at No. 1 on our list of the top hotels in Charleston — and it’s easy to understand why. The hotel is tucked away in Harleston Village, just a few blocks from bustling King Street, ensuring even more peace and privacy in this home away from home. The rooms and suites are all thoughtfully decorated and appointed with fireplaces, making it extra cozy in winter, and guests are encouraged to dine at Circa 1886, the restaurant located in the mansion’s original carriage house. While breakfast is a guest-only experience, anyone can make a dinner reservation.

• Located in Harleston Village, a quieter neighborhood in downtown Charleston
• Exclusive access to breakfast in Circa 1886 and the hotel’s cupola and rooftop; Wi-Fi, in-room beverages, and turn-down service are included with your stay
• Just two short blocks from Colonial Lake Park
• Rooms from $400 a night

The Restoration

Explore Charleston

The apartment-style hotel rooms are great for extended trips to Charleston.

If you’re driving, you’ll either need to find parking yourself or pay $38 per day for valet parking, which is first-come, first-served.

For unparalleled access to King Street’s shops, restaurants, and bars, book a suite or one of the spacious residences at The Restoration. The hotel has more of an urban aesthetic than other Charleston properties, with modern photo installations and a variety of textures in the common spaces. Still, it doesn’t skimp on comfort. Whether you’re staying for a while — in which case, you’ll want to stay in the aforementioned residences, complete with a full kitchen and living room — or just for a long weekend, make sure you spend some time by the rooftop pool or grab coffee at The Rise Coffee Bar downstairs. To unlock even more amenities, including complimentary breakfast and access to a nearby gym, be sure to join The Restoration’s Insider program by providing your email address on the hotel website.

• Located on the corner of King and Wentworth Streets in downtown Charleston
• Wi-Fi, in-room beverages, and late-night cookies are included in your stay
• The picturesque College of Charleston campus is right down the street 
• Rooms from $284 a night

The Loutrel

The hotel’s atmosphere is more laid-back than pretentious.

Some travelers may prefer a hotel in a location that doesn’t experience as much foot traffic.

Comfortable, spacious, and convenient are just three ways you could describe The Loutrel , which sits on State Street in downtown Charleston, a couple blocks from the water. “As a native South Carolinian, this hotel felt like home when I visited shortly after its opening in fall 2021,” says Rhodes. “I loved the bright and modern Southern design, the super-convenient location near Charleston’s top attractions, and the private rooftop overlooking the city.” The 50-room property is stylish and fresh, balancing elegance with tasteful touches of personality, and its garden-inspired lounge is reminiscent of the greenery and blooms that adorn the stunning architecture in the surrounding neighborhood.

• Located in the French Quarter of downtown Charleston
• Bar snacks and beverages, fitness center access, and European-style breakfast are included with your stay
• You can easily walk to the Waterfront Park and pier
• Rooms from $233 a night

Zero George

Hack Hargett 

Also available to book at Booking.com

You can’t beat a long afternoon sitting on your room’s piazza, wine glass in hand, overlooking the courtyard.

The property sits adjacent to East Bay Street, one of the busier Charleston roads.

If you’ve been dreaming of the ultimate Charleston getaway, Zero George will check every box. Guests enter through the wrought-iron gates, which lead to the expertly manicured grounds, dreamy courtyard, and the three restored historic residences and two brick carriage houses that house the property’s 16 guest rooms and suites (and their shared piazzas). Every second of your experience — from check-in to checkout — will be filled with delightful, decidedly Charleston moments. Mornings begin with a European-style continental style, complete with local Callie’s Biscuits; afternoons are filled with complimentary bike rides through the neighborhood; and at least one night should be spent around a table at The Restaurant + Bar at Zero George.

• Located in the historic Ansonborough neighborhood in downtown Charleston
• Daily European-style breakfast, bicycles, evening wine and cheese pairings, off-site gym membership, and Wi-Fi included in your stay
• Stop by the new International African American Museum , less than a half-mile away
• Rooms from $379 a night

The Dewberry

The Dewberry Charleston

The rooftop bar, Citrus Club, offers 360-degree views of downtown Charleston.

Both on-site dining options, Citrus Club and The Living Room, are popular spots within the Charleston community, so they may be busy.

The Dewberry is a stalwart character in Charleston, not only housing 154 guest rooms and suites, but also a spa, rooftop cocktail lounge, swanky ground-floor bar, and a shopping experience from Garden & Gun . Each aspect of the eight-story hotel feels like a manifestation of the “quiet luxury” aesthetic. The rooms are designed to answer every need you may have (steamers, custom toiletries, plush bathrobes and slippers, a locally curated minibar), and the decor in the common spaces nod to the city’s charm and history without feeling too heavy or antiquated.

"All of my Mad Men interior design dreams came true the second I stepped into this mid-century modern hotel in April 2023," said T+L senior commerce editor Kayla Becker. "There's an undeniable level of old Southern charm here in the most glamorous, modern way. Trust me, you will want to remodel your home after you visit."

• Located on Meeting Street, just west of Marion Square, in downtown Charleston
• Bicycles, Volvo house cars, fitness studio, beach towels and totes, and Wi-Fi are included in your stay
• 11 miles from Charleston International Airport
• Within walking distance of Charleston’s best restaurants, including The Ordinary and The Darling Oyster Bar
• Rooms from $314 a night

Post House Inn

Travel + Leisure / Lindsey Harris Shorter

The property’s seven rooms are all bright, airy, and uniquely decorated.

It’s a short 10-minute drive from downtown Charleston’s restaurants and attractions.

The only hotel on this list not located in downtown Charleston, Post House Inn is a destination in and of itself. The inn, and its connected restaurant, sit on one of the most picturesque corners in the Old Village Historic District in Mount Pleasant. From the team behind Basic Projects — who also brought Basic Kitchen to life — the properties were developed to be more akin to “a pub with rooms,” a common setup in the U.K., instead of a hotel with a restaurant. Since opening in late 2020, it’s become a favored spot for locals searching for a relaxing staycation, or just a great burger and a strong cocktail.

• Located in the Old Village of Mount Pleasant, just 10 minutes from downtown Charleston
• Welcome drink, breakfast, Wi-Fi, and beach towels are included in your stay
• 14.5 miles from Charleston International Airport
• Stretch your legs by walking to Pitt Street Bridge for sunset
• Rooms from $255 a night

The hotel’s creativity allows for surprise-and-delight moments in every room and common space; it’s also dog-friendly.

If you’re searching for a traditional Southern hotel, this isn’t the location for you.

The Vendue is housed in a row of historic warehouses dating back to 1780, but its interiors — including its 84 guest rooms — are bright, bold, and modern. Billed as “Charleston’s art hotel,” there’s a sense of whimsy everywhere you look, from the French bulldog door knockers and a contrasting red-and-white color scheme to its continually rotating collection of over 200 pieces of original art. In-house art curators even offer daily guided tours from 5 to 6 p.m., although guests and even non-guests are welcome to admire the pieces at any time.

• Welcome drink, morning bag of baked goods, evening milk and cookies, afternoon art reception, and bicycles are included in your stay
• Rainbow Row, Waterfront Park, and the Pineapple Fountain are a short walk away
• Rooms from $173 a night

Lindsay Shorter / Emeline

Each of the guest rooms comes with a workspace — so it’s a great option for remote workers or those traveling for business.

Self-parking isn’t exactly easy in this part of town, and it’ll cost you $49 a day to valet your car.

Upon opening in downtown Charleston in July 2020, Emeline quickly became one of the “it” places to stay in the Holy City. All 212 guest rooms — 128 of which are suites — come with a king-sized bed, bespoke embroidered Matouk linens and towels, custom ceramic vanity accessories by a local artist, and custom Wildsam Field Guides to Charleston, among other exclusive amenities. Like many other Charleston hotels, food and beverage are a top priority for the hospitality team. Stop by Clerks for breakfast or a quick cup of coffee, The Den for light bites and pre-dinner cocktails, and Frannie & The Fox for a hearty wood-fired pizza and shared plates.

• Located on Church Street, slightly north of the French Quarter, in downtown Charleston
• Welcome cocktail, morning coffee, bicycles, fitness center, self-serve sparkling water, and free beer and wine during the “Captain’s Hour” are included with your stay
• Snap a photo of the nearby Pink House Gallery before grabbing a few snacks at goat.sheep.cow

Planters Inn

The shared piazza, with its wrought-iron bistro tables and chairs, is a lovely choice for a not-too-humid Charleston afternoon.

Expect heavy foot traffic outside, as the hotel sits on the corner of two of Charleston’s busiest streets.

Coming in at No. 3 on the list of T+L readers' favorite hotels in Charleston in the 2023 World’s Best Awards, Planters Inn ranked just behind The Loutrel and just above John Rutledge House Inn. This high placement is partially due to the history of the grande dame hotel; Planters Inn has roots dating back to the 1800s, and it claims the title of the only Relais & Châteaux hotel in South Carolina. Its rank also stems from the property’s hospitable interiors and unforgettable dining experiences. The guest rooms strike that perfect balance between traditional and contemporary, with four-poster mahogany beds and working fireplaces living alongside a Nespresso machine and other must-have amenities. If you’re celebrating something special, be sure to order the famous Ultimate Coconut Cake from the Peninsula Grill — and yes, you can get it delivered via room service, too.

• Located on the corner of Market and Meeting Streets in Charleston’s Historic District
• Shared terrace and Wi-Fi are included in your stay
• Head slightly southeast to discover Church Street’s impressive architecture and peaceful strolls
• Rooms from $495 a night

The rooms are extra spacious; even those traveling with multiple bags won’t feel overly cramped.

For some travelers, its prime location off of King Street will be a plus; others may find it overwhelming.

The Pinch is a 25-room property — inclusive of three furnished residences — that also features a spa, daily breakfast, and several restaurants, including The Quinte, a 40-seat oyster bar, and Lowland Tavern, a newly opened tasting room experience. While you’re certainly welcome to book a room for a night or two, accommodations are also available on a weekly or monthly basis, if desired. The rooms and restaurants are spread out across three buildings, which date back to the mid-to-late 1800s; the interior decor, however, manages to highlight that history and simultaneously bring a bit of levity and freshness to the property.

• Located just off of King Street in downtown Charleston
• Welcome cocktail, coffee and tea service, and bike share program are included in your stay
• Within a few steps of King Street’s best shops and boutiques

The Ryder Hotel

The hotel has ADA-accessible rooms, elevators, and an ADA pool lift.

The poolside bar-restaurant, Little Palm, can get pretty buzzy.

Jack Kerouac’s semi-fictional character Japhy Ryder, from his novel "The Dharma Bums," is the inspiration behind The Ryder Hotel , which entered the Charleston scene in the spring of 2021. The building had a previous life as the King Charles Inn, but this new chapter takes a completely new direction, with formality thrown out the window. The Ryder stands on its own two feet in the downtown area with its 91 rooms decked out in pale woods, custom-woven rugs, and plush linens. The star of the show, however, just might be the pool and its indoor-outdoor bar and restaurant, Little Palm, where tropical drinks take precedence on the menu. "The cocktails at Little Palm are some of the best — and most creative — in Charleston, and the bar is perfectly Instagrammable in shades of pink and green," says Rhodes.

• Located a block away from King Street in the heart of downtown Charleston
• Coffee, a $10 breakfast credit, access to Emeline’s fitness center, a welcome cocktail, bicycles, in-room wellness equipment, and beach and picnic blankets are included in your stay
• Plan ahead and reserve a table at neighboring FIG
• Rooms from $184 a night

The Palmetto Hotel

The Palmetto Hotel Charleston

With breakfast taken care of each morning, you’ll have more room in your budget for dinner or shopping on King Street.

Your stay includes access to a nearby fitness center, but it’s not technically on-property.

The newest face in the Charleston hotel landscape, The Palmetto Hotel opened in the spring of 2023. Each of its 45 king-bed rooms was designed to bring guests an “elevated experience without missing the comforts of home.” This means you can expect features like high-end linens, Bamford toiletries, and cozy robes and slippers upon arrival, and you’ll get to enjoy a complimentary breakfast every morning. Before heading out for the evening, stop by the Lobby Bar for signature cocktails and light bites; you’ll even find local favorite Callie’s Pimento Cheese on the menu.

• Located on East Bay Street, within walking distance of the Battery in downtown Charleston
• Continental breakfast, Wi-Fi, nightly turn-down service, and bicycles are included in your stay
• The Battery and White Point Gardens are a 15-minute walk from the hotel
• Rooms from $207 a night

Know Before You Go

• Understand the general layout of Charleston. When most people think of Charleston, they envision the Historic District’s 18th and 19th-century architecture, cobblestoned streets, and palmetto trees that give the lower part of the peninsula its memorable charm. Many of the hotels on this list are located in this part of Charleston, but the city is bigger and more spread out than you might think. Before making a hotel reservation, pull up your Google Maps and make sure you’ll be in an area conducive to your planned itinerary. 
• Check the calendar to avoid peak weekends. Charleston experiences tourism all year round, but there are a few periods each year that see more activity, thus increasing demand for hotel rooms. Major events like Charleston Wine + Food , SEWE , Spoleto Festival USA , and College of Charleston’s graduation weekend significantly boost the number of visitors exploring the downtown area.
• Consider the amenities of each property. In order to stand out from the competition, most Charleston hotels offer some sort of special amenity, be it complimentary beach cruisers, a personal butler service, morning coffee, or a rooftop pool. If you’re deciding between two or three properties with similar locations and nightly rates, let the amenities be the deciding factor.

How We Chose These Hotels

For this article, each hotel was chosen based on editor reviews, appearances in various Travel + Leisure awards, and the writer’s experience with Charleston’s hospitality scene. Lydia Mansel grew up visiting the Holy City every summer and recently spent several years as a full-time resident.

11 Tips To Book a 5-Star Hotel for the Price of a Motel

H otels in the 5-star category are ranked highly for a reason. They typically offer beautiful views, great food, top-notch customer service and expansive beds that are so comfortable you may never want to get up. Stays at these spots don’t typically come cheap, though. Prices vary by destination, but it’s not at all shocking to shell out hundreds and hundreds of dollars per night on a room at a luxury hotel or resort.

See: 7 Biggest Ways You’re Wasting Money While Traveling

Learn: How To Get Cash Back on Your Everyday Purchases

Fortunately, staying at a 5-star hotel doesn’t have to be an unattainable extravagance. There are more than a few ways to book a room at one of these fancy and upscale places for the price of a motel (or, almost). Let’s explore 11 tips from travel experts .

Sponsored: Top Balance Transfer Cards - Experts Announce the Winners

Go Off-Season 

Perhaps the most reliable way to save on a 5-star hotel is to go off-season, when the hospitality sector is desperate for travelers. 

“This is when you will get the best deal,” said Keri Baugh, a New England-based travel writer who runs the family travel blog Bon Voyage With Kids . “For some locations like Florida, this is September, right when the kids go back to school. Other locations have different shoulder seasons. But think about when most people travel, and do the opposite, and sometimes you can get a really good deal on a five-star resort; or if they are running a special — say with a night or two free — this can bring your average price down significantly.”

Join Hotels’ Vacation Club Membership Programs 

Baugh is a Marriott Vacation Club member, a Disney Vacation Club member and a member of Marriott Bonvoy Rewards. These memberships can significantly reduce costs of fancy hotel stays. 

“Because hotel costs are one of the biggest parts of any travel budget, using either our Vacation Club membership to use points for rooms or a combo of vacation points and cash is often one of the easiest ways to get a luxury resort for either free or for very little money,” Baugh said. “Also, cashing in our Marriott Bonvoy Rewards has gotten us rooms for basically the entirety of a vacation for free. With our Marriott Vacation Club membership, we usually have gotten an oceanfront one or two-bedroom suite — with a kitchen and laundry, which also saves money — every year with our Marriott Vacation Club membership.”

Get a Credit Card That Allows You To Cash in Rewards Points for Hotel Stays 

Additionally, Baugh has a Capital One card that can be used to cash in reward points for gift cards for places like Hotels.com, which can be used for a variety of resorts, including those that have five stars. 

“Applying that gift card toward the price of the hotel can possibly result in the cost being either free or motel-rate when you average the price per night,” Baugh said.

Buy Disney Gift Cards at a Discounted Price 

If a stay at Disney is in your sights, you can save on their hotel costs by purchasing Disney gift cards at retailers that sell them for less than face value.

“If you buy them at Costco or at Target using their RedCard, you can get the full value of the gift card but at a discounted price (at Target, Red Card customers save 5% on the cost of the gift card but get full value),” Baugh said. “The gift cards have a maximum of $1,000, but if you get enough of those, you could save hundreds of dollars and pay for your vacation this way. Bring in your own food and snacks, and you can save close to $1,000 on your vacation.”

Book a Hotel Undergoing Renovations 

Booking a hotel that’s undergoing major renovations (but is still open) is a stellar way to knock down the price.

“This will require some research and destination flexibility, and you may have to deal with construction noise and views, but some 5-star hotels lower their rates during times of major renovations to compensate for revenue loss due to lower occupancy,” said Philip Ballard, chief communications officer and head of investor relations at HotelPlanner . 

Request the Smallest Room 

Flying solo or don’t mind getting extra cozy with your traveling companion? Request the smallest room. Note: You’ll likely have to call and ask for this, rather than booking online. 

“Some older 5-star hotels rent out smaller, less expensive rooms that used to be reserved for hotel staff,” Ballard said. “These rooms may only be let out during times of maximum occupancy though, so you’ll need to call the hotel and ask if there are any off-the-books rooms not listed online that are cheaper.”

Take Advantage of AAA, Senior Citizen, Military Veteran or Loyalty Discounts

It’s tough to combine all these discounts into the same booking, but using AAA, senior citizen, veteran and loyalty discounts can save you heaps. 

“You typically have to pick just one discount, but if you speak to a sales agent with your online travel agency or the hotel front desk, you may be able to combine discounts if it’s a ‘private, closed-sales environment’ where a real-life human can offer you a special discount because you asked nicely, or because it’s your anniversary,” Ballard said. 

Book a Sunday-Tuesday Trip in a Business District

According to Ballard, a Sunday through Tuesday hotel stay in a financial or business district is another way to save money on your stay.

“These are the slowest and typically the least expensive days for most hotels as weekenders have departed but business travelers have not yet arrived,” Ballard said. “Hotels in a business district will typically offer lower rates Sunday through Tuesday.” 

Sign Up for 5-Star Hotel Newsletters and Other Travel Discount Newsletters

Always be prepared for a steal at a 5-star hotel by signing up for their respective newsletters, as well as other travel discount newsletters. 

“When a unique discount comes around (possibly only once a year), be flexible with your dates and be willing to book immediately to lock in the discount,” Ballard said. “Booking last minute deals can be a very effective cost-savings hack if you’re willing to be flexible.”

For Overseas Travel, Book When the Exchange Rate Is Good 

“If traveling overseas, travel where the exchange rate is most favorable and the 5-star hotels are less expensive,” Ballard said. “For example, it’s relatively cheaper for Americans to travel to Asia-Pacific right now because of the favorable exchange rate. And some of the least expensive 5-star hotels in the world are also in that region, including Kuta or Bali Indonesia; Bangkok or Chiang Mai Thailand, Phnom Penh Cambodia, New Delhi India, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia or Hanoi Vietnam.”

Stay at a Motel but Relax at the 5-star Hotel During the Day

In Ballard’s opinion, probably the best cost-savings hack altogether is to stay at a nearby motel at night but chill at the 5-star hotel during the day.

“Forego the expensive hotel all together,” Ballard said. “Stay in a less expensive hotel or motel nearby, and then use the savings to enjoy a pool and spa day at the 5-star hotel as a day visitor. For example, many 5-star hotels allow day passes for visitors to use their facilities or lounge by the pool all day and enjoy the food & beverages for a $50 – $100 fee.”

The MICHELIN Guide announces top honors for U.S. hotels in 2024.

Hotels NYC California Washington D.C. MICHELIN Keys

New York City by The MICHELIN Guide

See the New York City guide

On April 24, 2024, the MICHELIN Guide revealed the brand new list of One, Two, and Three Key hotels in the United States. In this first ever announcement of MICHELIN Keys in the United States, hotels in Atlanta, California, Chicago, Colorado, Florida, New York, and Washington DC were eligible for the distinction. This announcement of the most outstanding hotels in the country comes four years into a comprehensive refresh of our hotel selection. The MICHELIN Guide now includes over 5,000 hotels across the world, and not a single one is simply a room for the night. These are places that significantly add to your experience as a traveler, each vetted and judged excellent in five categories: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price, and a significant contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting. Which brings us back to the Keys. The culmination of countless hours of evaluation by our team of experts, the Key hotels below represent the highlights of our broader selection. Like the MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, the MICHELIN Keys are our most outstanding hotels. In total, the 2024 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection in the United States includes 11 Three Key hotels, 33 Two Key hotels, and 80 One Key hotels. Want to know more about the MICHELIN Key?

Highlights of the United States 2024 Key Hotel List

The Three Key Club in New York City

Expect: The highest luxury and impeccable design in Soho, Midtown, and the Financial District. Within the small club of Three Key hotels in the United States, four make their home in New York City. The Aman New York (Midtown) and Casa Cipriani (the Financial District) both make use of glamorous Beaux Arts buildings, the former a gold-crowned skyscraper in Midtown, the latter a glamorously restored ferry terminal at the very southern tip of Manhattan. Each is a refuge: an elegant, painstakingly designed escape from bustling city life. Meanwhile, two Firmdale hotels round out the list of Three Key hotels in New York City. Each is a quintessential example of the style and execution of the group’s co-owner and interior designer, Kit Kemp. Click the links here to explore the whirl of colors and collage of art that define the Crosby Street (Soho) and the Whitby Hotel (Midtown). Also read: Every Three Key Hotel in Paris

Jewels on the Coast: Up and Down California

Its sheer breadth of size and variety means it’s no surprise to announce California as the state with the most Key hotels in America. Here, we’ll point you towards coastal gems like the sublime architectural achievements in Big Sur ( Post Ranch Inn and Ventana ), beachside luxuries in Santa Monica (in particular: the newly opened Georgian ), and wine country favorites like SingleThread and the Madrona . What we love: how each one of these hotels opens the door to the very best of their locations — and gives us a look at each setting through fresh eyes.

Across America: The Golden Age of Celebrity

Our French Keys bask in the tradition of ancient vineyards, stone chateaus, and historic palaces. In the United States, we see a different tradition. In Los Angeles, places like Chateau Marmont , the Paramour Estate , Sunset Tower , and the Charlie date back to guests and residents as illustrious as Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. These are spaces that play ingeniously with their history, even as they forge ahead with cutting-edge amenities and experiences. But it’s not just California. New York’s historic artist hotspot, the Hotel Chelsea , once hosted Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol. Today, it decorates every space with art donated by former residents. Look too to the Chicago Athletic Association , a former member’s club for 20th century business magnates and athletes — now among the city’s most impressive and vibrant hotels.

Prices for 5-star hotels

Average prices are based on searches conducted across KAYAK portfolio domains from 01 September 2022 – 31 August 2023 for the travel period 01 January 2023 – 31 December 2023.

The overall “Average price” is calculated by taking into account all one-night stays within a given time range, i.e. considering both weekend and weekday stays.

All prices displayed are average prices per night for a 5-star double room.

Please note that these prices may vary and cannot be guaranteed.

Best value travel month for a 5-star hotel stay

Average prices per night per travel month are based on searches conducted across KAYAK portfolio domains from 01 September 2021 – 31 August 2023 for the travel period 01 January 2022 – 31 December 2023.

Best time to book a 5-star hotel

Best time to book insights are estimated from our internal historical search data across KAYAK portfolio domains. Search data from the past year is aggregated for each day difference between date of check-in and search date from 0 to 120 days (about 4 months ahead is the earliest we consider), taking the median of 5-star hotel prices. The minimum prices and corresponding day difference are identified to approximate the best times to book hotels for the specific destination city. We do not generate estimates for destination cities with fewer than 50 data points per day differences.

When the best time to book falls within 0 to 14 days, it is labeled as “Last-minute deals”.

Average hotel ratings of 5-star hotels

The average rating of 5-star hotels in a given city is calculated from reviews of 5-star hotels collected over the period of the past 2 years from data pulled on 10 January 2024. The reviews come from KAYAK and partner websites (Agoda, Booking.com, Guestsuite, Hotelscombined and Priceline).

Luxury – as recommended by guests like you.

These are 5-star hotels with an average nightly rate of under $300, based on searches conducted between 01 October 2022 – 30 June 2023. The ten highest-rated hotels in each country and globally that each have a minimum of 80 reviews are displayed. If these criteria are not fulfilled, fewer hotels are presented.

Lowest-priced and highest-priced destinations for 5-star hotels

The lowest-priced and highest-priced destination rankings for the current and coming month are sourced from our internal search data on KAYAK portfolio domains from the past 180 days, with updates made on the 1st of each month. To provide an accurate estimate of nightly rates for standard double rooms at 5-star hotels, we display the average price, excluding outliers, specifically the top 1% and bottom 1% of prices. Cities are ranked both globally and regionally and also show the percentage change in price compared to the two previous months.
