The luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park has a tropical resort vibe in one of central Bangkok’s most posh enclaves, Ploenchit/Chidlom. 336 rooms are comfortable and contemporary, many with terraces and garden views, though they can be dark and some bathrooms are in need of a revamp. The hotel’s public areas are spectacular, including a sprawling resort-style pool surrounded by tropical gardens and waterfalls, excellent fitness center, and on-site spa, though these are open to non-hotel guests as well. Guests looking for a similar class of hotel near the Chao Phraya Riverfront should try the Millennium Hilton Bangkok for rooms at the same price point.

Sabai Beach resort is a simple and charming, mid-range getaway spot on a quiet beach. Those looking to party should keep in mind that the property is far from the regularly-scheduled Full Moon Party, and there isn't much to do as the venue has no real facilities other than a small beachside restaurant. However the location is peaceful, not far from the ferry pier, and the bungalows do sit right on the sand. Overall, the Sabai is a safe choice for families and couples, and won't break the bank.

The Garden of Eden Inn is a small, secluded bed-and-breakfast located at the tip of Isla Solarte and accessed only by water taxi from Bocas Town. Ideal for travelers who want an off-the-grid feel, the mid-range, adult-only property is surrounded by mangroves and tropical rainforest. Being eco-conscious, the inn lacks air-conditioning and TVs, and hot water is in limited supply. There are two suites and two rooms available, all simply decorated and featuring free Wi-Fi and ocean-facing terraces with hammocks. Free Caribbean-style breakfast is served at the on-site restaurant, which also has a bar. Other features include an outdoor pool, free use of kayaks, snorkeling off the on-site dock, and outdoor yoga classes.

The upper-middle-range Palace Hotel paints an impressive picture; the property occupies a grand historic mansion set on 25 acres of beautiful grounds, located a 10-minute walk from the beach. Interiors are also full of Old World charm, but they've been a bit neglected, and the dated spaces could use a revamp. The 141 guest rooms are fairly simple, though many offer lovely views over the green grounds. They come with flat-screen TVs and electric kettles, but guests note problems with the free Wi-Fi. There's plenty to do on-site thanks to the indoor and outdoor pools (though guests complain they're cold), golf course, multiple sports courts, and a restaurant. The free breakfast gets good reviews, and the hotel offers multiple event rooms. The Headland Hotel is also a historic property set on beautiful grounds, plus it has a spa, but it doesn't offer as many features overall.

If you're looking for more modern accommodations in the historical city of Bath, The Halcyon is a suitable option. Its stylish hotel rooms and seven fully furnished apartments, built into two Georgian townhouse complexes, are definitely hipper than accommodations found at most of the Victorian-style properties in the area. Be aware, however, that there are no elevators and lots of stairs. Also, some of the rooms are small and there’s no air-conditioning. But they all have free Wi-Fi, large flat-screen TVs, and spacious bathrooms (though most only have showers). The downtown location is extremely convenient to area attractions: It's a few minutes by foot to attractions like the Roman Baths, Thermae Bath Spa, and Bath Abbey. And the on-site bar, Circo, is one of the trendiest hot spots in the city, with cocktails, light food, and a party atmosphere on the weekends.

A slice of Perth history comes to life at the upscale Best Western Premier Terrace Hotel. This beautiful 15-room property was originally built in 1895, and after decades of repurposing and renovations, is today an Art Deco-inspired gem in the city’s business district. Guest rooms are spacious and chic with Apple TV and other high-tech features, and bathrooms have gorgeous black marble and soaking tubs. Given its proximity to the convention center and the recreational spaces near Swan River -- both are within a 15-minute walk -- the hotel is conveniently located for both business and leisure travelers. Public transportation is within a five-minute walk of the hotel, and the street is lined with plenty of restaurants and shops. Travelers might want to also consider the Fraser Suites Perth -- its rates are slightly higher, but with a sauna, it outdoes the Terrace Hotel when it comes to amenities.
