Who Does It Best: The Westin Boston Waterfront

When you're on the road by yourself--whether for business or pleasure--you want to stay someplace safe, but you also look for amenities like nice restaurants, workout facilities, and a spa. The Westin offers it all: guided runs, guest rooms equipped with cardio machines, in-room spa treatments, and the new Super Foods program, which features healthy menu options. Plus, public transportation is a breeze-the downtown bus stops in front of the hotel. (Rooms from $189; westinhotels.com.)

Trend: Glamping
Who Does It Best: Clayoquot Wilderness Resort Bedwell River Outpost
Vancouver Island, British Columbia

Glamping, which stands for "glamorous camping," takes the rough out of roughing it. In fact, except for the separate bathroom and shower facilities, the Bedwell River Outpost almost makes you forget you're camping. Set in a remote rain forest, the tents are filled with Adirondack-style furnishings, Oriental rugs, and fluffy robes. Despite the cushy accommodations, you'll want to spend your days horseback riding, mountain biking, kayaking, and whale watching. (Rates from $4,750, Canadian, per person for three nights, including lodging, all meals, and air transportation to and from Vancouver; wildretreat.com.)
