How we pick the neighborhood

We start with the places visitors actually book, then check each one against transit maps, airport and fare pages, tourism board hotel reports and recent local news. The neighborhood at the top of each guide is the one we'd book on a first visit, with the reason in one sentence.

Prices are typical mid-range rates per night, rounded to $10. They move with conventions, festivals and the season, so every booking link opens tonight's real prices on Booking.com. Each guide lists the sources it was checked against at the bottom.
