Nautical design nods and large picture windows offering stunning views of Boston Harbor or the city skyline provide a strong sense of place. Dine at the delicious waterfront seafood-focused restaurant, or order in-room delicacies while you watch the waves from your windows.
For a truly unique London experience, drop anchor at Sea Containers London, a nautical hotel that evokes the ambiance of a 1920s transatlantic cruise liner docked on the south bank of the River Thames. The offerings here are glamorous, including many rooms with river views or patios, a dream spa with a plethora of treatments made onsite, and three distinct places to drink & dine, including an award-winning, ingredient-driven cocktail bar from mixologist Ryan Chetiyawardana and an eclectic rooftop bar and terrace overlooking the city and river. Plus, with the Tate Modern and The London Eye only a quick walk away, the location is positively unbeatable.

Just steps away from the palm-tree-lined pool area, you can order an array of food and drinks to enjoy from your cabana or take advantage of the sunny skies with light bites at the outdoor terrace, which stays open late, serving full-course meals by a fire pit to keep things cozy. Sip on a happy hour cocktail at the indoor-outdoor wraparound bar, head inside to the lounge area to get some work done over a cup of joe, or grab a seat at one of the tables in the spacious dining room for a sunset dinner or a sunrise brunch. When you've had your fill, plop down on your pillowtop mattress and let the sound of waves lull you to sleep.
It's said that New York is always a good idea, and when you stay at Hotel Hugo, it's a great one.

Though a stroll along the nearby Hudson River may be scenic, some of the best views in town are right upstairs at the hotel's two rooftop bars. Bar Hugo, a swanky lounge space with floor-to-ceiling windows, and Azul, a lively Cuban-inspired open rooftop, offer uninterrupted panoramas of downtown Manhattan, the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable stay.
