In honour of Independence Day, we’ve shortlisted a collection of our favourite independently owned hotels across the USA — each one a true original, defined by character, charm and a deep sense of place. 🇺🇸
Here’s why these stays are extra special:
— more of a residence than a hotel, townhouse charm meets refined, old-world hospitality on the upper east side
— think vineyard views, outdoor showers, and private cottages that capture the charm of Napa Valley
— a legendary pink icon on the East coast, with over 15 dining spots, a private beach, and a chic adults-only pool club
— an authentic working ranch that blends wild west spirit with alpine luxury
— set high above Big Sur’s dramatic coastline, this is nature at its finest. The treehouse suites? Pure magic
— this is one of the most exclusive countryside retreats in the Tennessee foothills, where Southern hospitality meets Michelin-level dining
— a New England icon in Edgartown, with wraparound porches, white picket fences and storybook charm
