These American hotels are proof that you don't have to travel very far in order to see the world. It can be overwhelming to think about the number of interesting places there are to visit, and some of them might be right in your own backyard.
The list of must-visit landmarks, theme parks, museums and attractions is growing even larger with unique hotel experiences popping up across America. And if you're not travelling by motor home, you'll need a place to rest your head each night.
American hotels range from the extravagantly expensive experiences to unique and unusual. Some hotels can be pricey while others are designed with recessions in mind, either way they will add to the enjoyment of your vacation.
