Inn Buffalo off Elmwood
I recently stayed at a chain hotel, and it reminded me of all the reasons I usually avoid them. First and foremost, it was just so beige, and without a shred of character. The same cannot be said for the Inn Buffalo, which is a lovely amalgamation of architectural styles that all work well together.

Keswick Hall- Keswick, VA
I stayed at Keswick Hall years ago, and loved it. It was a little worn, but still charming. It also had the most beautiful infinity pool I had ever seen. After that short stay, I always planned to revisit. Well, I finally did, only to find it all much changed- including the impossibly perfect pool.

The Inn & Tavern at Meander- Locus Dale, VA
In the best possibly way, a stay at Meander feels like visiting an elderly relative, who lives on a grand old Southern estate. From the moment you turn into the drive, you enter another world. The vast property is perfect for exploring, with remnants of the past scattered about like Easter eggs, waiting to be discovered.

The Inn at Montchanin Village- Montchanin, DE
Although New Jersey may be widely known as the Garden State, I feel that title should definitely go to Delaware. Yes, Delaware, the small state that most people don't think much about- excluding Joe Biden, of course. Thanks largely to the DuPont family and its vast fortune, Delaware has a ridiculous number of insanely beautiful gardens, and several are located a mere stone's throw from the charming Inn at Montchanin Village.

Auberge Du Vieux-Port- Montreal, QC
Auberge Du Vieux-Port in Montreal is housed in two 19th Century warehouses along the river in Montreal. There apparently are very quaint rooms at the hotel, with original stone walls, but we did not get one. Although we did had a lovely view of the river, our room itself was underwhelming, and left us questioning our hotel decision, despite the cozy common areas and attached bar.
