The United States of America is a country that boasts an incredible diversity and allure, making it one of the most captivating nations on the planet. Its breathtaking natural landscapes, including the majestic Pacific Coast, the awe-inspiring Yosemite National Park, and the stunning Monument Valley, have served as the backdrop for countless cinematic masterpieces (Hollywood finds its most ideal settings practically in its backyard). For those who venture beyond the bustling cities of the USA on a classic road trip, exploring the trails of Native Americans and pioneers, scaling majestic mountains, or relaxing by serene lakes and beaches, unforgettable moments are guaranteed.

In her book, Great Escapes USA, Angelika Taschen showcases a collection of remarkable places to stay, each captured through stunning photography and accompanied by entertaining texts and practical information on how to reach them, prices, and recommendations for books and films. The journey begins on the East Coast, where intellectuals and artists once gathered in idyllically located country houses, such as the Twin Farms in Vermont and Troutbeck in New York State. From there, the book takes readers to the South, where historic properties like The Moorings Village and Hôtel Peter & Paul in Florida and Louisiana tell the stories of these regions. Southern belles, such as the Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas, also reveal their glamorous side. Along the way, the book highlights unique destinations like Dunton Hot Springs, which was once a miners' camp in Colorado but has been transformed into an upscale rustic resort. The route also includes the urban utopia of Arcosanti in Arizona, conceived by architect Paolo Soleri in the 1970s. The journey concludes in California, where a range of exceptional hotels awaits, including the Deetjens Big Sur Inn, known for its Norwegian-influenced wooden cabins, the laid-back motels like The Surfrider Malibu, which embodies the California dream, and heavenly destinations for gourmets, such as SingleThread in Sonoma County, which holds three Michelin stars. The photography in this opulent publication showcases the beauty and charm of these hotels, inviting readers to embark on their own unforgettable escapades in the USA.
