Spanning 43 countries and six continents, this year's Hot Hotels are an eclectic group, from tree houses to farmhouses. The cost per night also runs the gamut—from a mere $75 for a groovy room above a white-hot gastropub in Chicago to $2,040 for a private three-story riad in the heart of Marrakech. Despite the diversity, the hotels share a common standard in their artful blend of high style and a strong sense of place.
