The art of hotel innovation is flourishing. Across the globe, hotels are still opening in strong numbers, and among the thousands of hotels that debuted last year, the 134 on the 2010 Hot List stand out for their blend of strong style, skillful service, state-of-the-art technology, and unique atmosphere. Even better news for travelers: As hotels compete to raise the bar for excellence, price tags are not necessarily soaring. Nearly a third of the hotels on this year's Hot List offer rooms for less than $250 a night, and some rates dip even lower.
We've selected ten of the most showstopping, jaw-dropping, price-chopping hotels from this year's Hot List, all offering rooms for $199 or less a nightplus more amenities, comforts, and intelligent details than you might expect for the price.
