Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania
Ohiopyle is an incredibly charming little town in the Laurel Highlands, with a horrible name. Incredibly scenic, the town itself sits at a horseshoe bend of the Youghiogheny River, and is overflowing with hikers, bikers, kayakers and white water rafters in the summer.

Ledges Hotel- Hawley, PA
The Ledges Hotel is all about the great outdoors. Yes, it is a fabulous reuse project, situated in a fun old factory, but its location and grounds steal the show. With several spaces overlooking the magnificent Wallenpaupack Falls, you won't want to stay inside for long.

Loews Ventana Canyon Resort- Tucson, AZ
Although Loews Ventana Canyon is not a historic hotel, it certainly feels like one. Built in the 1980s by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, it has aged extraordinarily well. Low slung and buff colored, the complex virtually disappears into the surrounding desert, allowing you to fully appreciate its stunning surroundings. Masterfully situated in the Catalina foothills, its is perhaps the most scenic resort in Tucson.
