ANVIL HOTEL (JACKSON, WYOMING)
Boasting an enviable address in the town of Jackson and rugged-meets-hipster guest quarters, the Anvil Hotel could charge a fortune. Luckily, that’s not the case. The only question is will you spend that extra coin at Glorietta or the on-site mercantile?

AUBERGE SAINT-ANTOINE (QUEBEC CITY, CANADA)
Old Quebec is the high rent district, right? Well, yes and no. Beyond being super cozy, brimming with history and enchanting to the max, Auberge Saint-Antoine—a card-carrying member of Relais & Châteaux—is shockingly affordable.

HOTEL ZACHARY (CHICAGO, ILLINOIS)
You’d probably expect to pay a pretty penny to hunker down at Hotel Zachary, with its prime location across the street from Wrigley Field and fashionable decor. And yet rates are surprisingly reasonable, which means more money to spend on prime seats behind home plate.
Starting at $159 per night
CASA VIOLETA (TULUM, MEXICO)
Over the last few years Tulum has become a bona-fide hot spot. No surprise, it’s gotten a lot more expensive. However, we’re happy to report that you can still find cost-conscious accommodations at Casa Violeta, an eco-chic sanctuary that offers airy rooms and sacred Mayan wellness rituals.
Starting at $220 per night
HOTEL EMBLEM (SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA)
Rent in San Francisco may be crazy, but prices at the newest—and, dare we say, dopest—Viceroy debut are not. Hotel Emblem celebrates the irreverence of the Beat Generation. Think: mid-century furnishings, punchy art and cool quirks such as a book butler.

ROOMERS MUNICH (MUNICH, GERMANY)

FREEHAND NEW YORK
A bargain in the Big Apple? Darn straight. Freehand New York is a creative haven with an off-beat vibe, clever snoozing configurations and lots of communal spaces for socializing. The tiki cocktails and boho feel at Broken Shaker is most certainly a draw.
