You deserve it. After so long ensconced in the comforts of your home, an ordinary hotel isn’t going to cut it. It’s time to go luxury.
A luxury hotel room is no longer just for rich folk. Industry shake-ups, tech advances, and sheer market saturation have made it easier to find an affordable four- or five-star hotel. So whether it’s a big trip, you’re looking for or just a random night in opulent comfort, there are top rooms available for well under 200 bucks.
Designer furniture. Arty surroundings. Authentic local flavor. The personal touch. All can be found cheaply within state borders. But it takes some searching to find a bargain, so CashNetUSA has gone ahead and identified the cheapest luxury hotel in every state and 10 major cities.

Price per night: $294
A “contemporary mountain enclave” at the heart of Canyons Village, the Pendry offers a seamless skiing experience.

7. The Nines
Location: Portland, Oregon
Price per night: $278
Housed upstairs from a Macy’s in Portland’s historic Meier & Frank Building, this LEED Silver Certified Hotel blends local heritage with modern art, creating a style that is sophisticated yet comfortable.

6. The Edwin Hotel
Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee
Price per night: $271
The Edwin is where “soul-stirring luxury meets Southern hospitality,” according to hotel publicity. In practice, this means an environment of delicately crafted artworks by Chattanooga artists, Appalachian cuisine and whiskey on the roof. The rooms, too, are packed with art and exquisite traditional-style architecture — and each suite sports its own Crosley turntable.

5. The Water Club
Location: Atlantic City, New Jersey
Price per night: $251
This $400 million hotel offers urban loft-style residences, a two-story spa and five one-of-a-kind heated pools, lending the ‘members club’ feel hinted at by the hotel’s name. Big-name boutique shops and the adjoining Borgata Hotel Casino give guests the feel of being at the heart of the marina district and the heart of the action.

3. Conrad
Location: Indianapolis, Indiana
Price per night: $195
Conrad hotels occupy the luxury end of the Hilton brand, and the ‘Indy’ is a particular gem among Conrads.

2. Intercontinental Minneapolis – St. Paul Airport

Price per night: $181
Time spent in an airport hotel can feel like time lost. Not so at the InterContinental Minneapolis, which is connected by sky bridge to St. Paul Airport. The InterContinental is a palatial gateway to Minneapolis, built using local Kasota stone and Cold Spring granite in a distinctive contemporary style. Glass, stone and wood interiors evoke the startling Minnesotan landscape.

1. Aria Resort & Casino

A night in a AAA Five Diamond hotel on the strip for comfortably under $200 is not to be sniffed at.

What We Did, Methodology & Sources
CashNetUSA searched Hotels.com to find the cheapest one-night stay in a five-star hotel in each state. When we couldn’t find an available five-star hotel, we included four-star hotels in our search as well.
We used Hotels.com to search for a one-night stay on the same date for each state at least 10 weeks in advance of the stay. Using the filter feature, we isolated hotels with a five-star rating in each state. When no five-star hotels were found for a state, we searched for four-star hotels. For states without a state-wide search option, we instead searched the five most populous cities to find a hotel. In addition, we identified the 10 most populous U.S. cities and repeated the process to identify the cheapest five-star hotel in each. The data was gathered from July to August in 2022.
