For America’s 250th, Rediscover the World Within the U.S.

Do you want to travel through America during the 250th anniversary, but you still have the itch to go somewhere a little more exotic? There are plenty of destinations in the U.S. that feel like you are visiting a whole new country. In fact, many hotels and resorts offer guests a taste of Europe without leaving the country.

Even when travelers stay in the United States, many still want the feeling of discovering somewhere completely different. Hotels and resorts across the country have started leaning into that idea by creating experiences that borrow heavily from European destinations — from Venetian canals and Italian-style vineyards to elegant French-inspired hotels and spas. In some cases, the similarities are surprisingly convincing, making it possible to enjoy a taste of Europe without the long-haul flight.
