Best DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels

As its name suggests, theWit aims to entertain. The decor – with its bright colors and stained-glass windows – evokes an amusing feel, while stand-up comedy can often be heard over the speakers in the hallways and lobby. It's no surprise why theWit tries so hard to get a rise out of you: Its perch on the end of the theater district (next door to the Chicago Theater in the Loop) means that this hotel has some steep competition. But unlike the surrounding performance spaces, this DoubleTree-affiliated property has much more than jokes. Should you be a bigger fan of movies than stand-up, consider hosting a viewing party in the on-site movie theater. Or guests recommend spending some time on the rooftop bar or in the hotel spa – both venues are bound to please. And the fun doesn't have to stop at bedtime: Guests love playful amenities like smartphone docking station, touchscreen telephones and flat-screen TVs. Because this Chicago hotel falls into the Hilton profile, members of the Hilton Honors rewards program can earn and redeem points here.

This monument to 1920s decadence remains a San Antonio landmark, even casting its long shadow on the city's beloved Alamo. Right across the street from that historic fort, The Emily Morgan Hotel— the self-proclaimed "Official Hotel of the Alamo"—has offered urban luxury and premier service for decades. And because of it's affiliation with DoubleTree Hotels (a member of the vast Hilton Hotel community), guests are treated to all the personality of a boutique hotel and the reliability of a chain. However, its age also means that the rooms were constructed with Jazz Age sensibilities: Back in the day, travelers didn't mind small accommodations. The room size and older furnishings bother many recent visitors, but the great views of downtown San Antonio—and the quick commute to San Antonio's most popular attractions—temper their complaints. Visitors also enjoy the property's facilities, including a heated outdoor pool and a fitness area, and they rave about Chef Chris Cook's regional Texan cuisine at ORO. And because of its brand-name ties, HHonors™ loyalty club members can earn and redeem points here.
