Top 10 New U.S. Hotels 2011

The rooftop pool at The Hotel Wilshire in Los Angeles, California

It's inevitable. Every year New York races in ahead of the pack with the most new hotel openings. This year its offerings were even greater than usual, so choosing was especially difficult. But we managed to pare our selections down to two. Then we spread out across the country to round out our list with a balance of tried-and-true luxury hotel groups, trendy new hotel brands and notable independents and boutiques. While quality is our number-one criterion, we're also interested in originality, whether it's in the form of amenities (skateboards) or design (a high-rise "wave"). If you want to celebrate the best of 2011, it's time to hit the road and check out our top ten hotel picks for the year.
