Sometimes, your hotel is simply the place where you crash after a long day exploring—but sometimes, it’s as good as the destination itself. That’s if it's a beautiful hotel with charming furnishings, a stunning lobby and an exterior worthy of photographing. We all love that moment when we step inside and approach the front desk, knowing we’re lucky to get to stay at this beautiful spot. A new study by Level Frames has let us know which states have the most beautiful hotels based on analyzing Tripadvisor reviews.

According to the study, you’ll find the most beautiful hotels in Virginia. There, almost one in six positive Tripadvisor reviews include words like stylish, elegant, refined or sophisticated. The top three hotels in the state are The Georges in Lexington, The Inn at Willow Grove in Orange and The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. These three hotels have 2,666 four and five-star reviews, of which 366 relate to décor.
