CHECK OUT THE NEWEST PLACES TO LAY YOUR HEAD.

The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte at Bank of American Center opened last month; it's the brand's first LEED-built hotel, certified by the Green Building Council.

The newest property from Morgans Hotel Group (Miami's Delano, LA's Mondrian, New York City's Hudson) is opening in Boston on Nov. 5. The Ames, which repurposed Beantown's first skyscraper, aims to be the new "it" place, complete with nightlife hotspot Woodward.

On Dec. 1, Las Vegas will welcome the all-suite, non-gaming, smoke-free Vdara Hotel. The property is located in the 67-acre CityCenter that, when it opens next month, will include a retail/entertainment district, Cirque du Soleil show and a gaming resort.
