Atlantic City often gets a bad rap, but those of us who live in the Garden State can attest to the fact that it is in the midst of a renaissance. At the forefront is the Borgata Hotel, Casino, and Spa. My husband and I stay there frequently and the service and accommodations rival some of the best hotels in the U.S. The casino is great, restaurants are fantastic (esp. The Old Homestead) and the nightlife is hot.

The second hotel is the Nine Zero hotel in Boston. We stayed there in November and it was a first class experience. The service was impeccable, location is awesome, and the hotel itself is hip, cool, and luxurious. An amazing hotel!
