Who wants to stay in a traditional hotel room these days? It's boring! Carpet that hasn't been changed since 1982, bed sheets as comfortable as construction paper, yellowing curtains that smell like cigarettes... forget it!

You can find some really incredible gems to stay in across New York state. While a traditional hotel usually serves to just provide a roof over your head, some of the hotels listed below could be their own vacation destination by themselves.
