The Diefenbaker
Most luxury hotels sell guests on the view, but The Diefenbaker has no windows. Hidden beneath a grassy hill in Debert, Nova Scotia, the two-story, 64,000-square-foot complex was built in 1964 to withstand a nuclear attack.

Guests can book an underground stay with access to a spa, fitness center, gourmet dining, even a cigar lounge.

From Tennessee to Tuscany, here are hotels with A-plus bee programs.
