For the last three years it has been a goal of mine to stay at every Autograph Collection in the U.S. I'm getting there. They're opening so many internationally that I may never be able to catch up. Some favorites (remarkable overlap with those mentioned above):
*Brown Palace, Denver, Colo.
*The Grand Bohemian, Mountain Brook, Ala. (this is part of the Kessler Collection, and any property in this collection will be among most tastefulhotels you ever visit)
*Hotel Park City, Park City, Utah (fantastic upgrade opportunities)
*Hotel Blackhawk, Davenport, Iowa (there is a bowling alley in the basement)
*Union Station Hotel, Nashville, Tenn. (this and Brown Palace will be the most "grand" of the Autograph properties)
*The Envoy Hotel, Boston, Mass.
*The Laylow, Honolulu, Hawaii (charges a resort fee, because Hawaii)
*WATERMARK, Baton Rouge, Louisiana (among the best service I've ever experienced)
*Morrison House, Alexandria, Vir. (just opened in past few months, I believe)
*The Citizen Hotel, Sacramento, Ca.
