Our Take: Some hotels aim for historical luxury while others lean more toward contemporary-chic. The Joule does both, combining antique accents (check out the massive mechanical wheel in the lobby) with multicolored lighting and modern art. Guests rave about the décor as well as the numerous amenities, including a library and a wine shop. The Joule's stunning infinity pool is also worth a look: It's daring rooftop design earned it a spot on our list of the Prettiest Hotel Pools. And when dinnertime rolls around, grab a bite to eat at Chef Charlie Palmer's in-house restaurant, Charlie Palmer at The Joule. The hotel's location isn't bad, either; rooms look out over Main Street in the heart of the historic district. And because this property is part of The Luxury Collection, members of the Starwood Hotels Group's Preferred Guest program can use their points to pay for stays and upgrades.
