Sleep

After a taxing day of skiing, hiking, sightseeing or even just lounging in the sun on the beach, there’s nothing more satisfying than snuggling up in a warm, comfortable bed. Your lodgings serve as a home base for all your adventures when you travel, and are often a reliable resource for information about the area.

Accommodations vary in price, location, size and level of luxury. From a cozy log cabin to the over-the-top outrageousness of some Las Vegas hotels, the options are many. Bed and breakfasts offer both sleeping and eating under one roof. Or rent out a cabin or villa for all your friends or family to share.

Hotels often provide a number of additional services, including restaurants, saunas, spas or swimming pools. Some even offer childcare. And they come in every style under the sun including tree houses in Africa, Costa Rica and Brazil, garden hotels, boutique hotels and even Turkey’s cave hotels with their underground rooms.
