Vintage Motels highlights 40 historic motels across the US. Built and opened in the mid-20th century, each motel is a stunning example of midcentury architecture. Time seems to have stood still, but appearances can be deceiving: each motel in this book has been renovated into an inviting boutique hotel with contemporary comforts, without compromising the style of the past.
With rich storytelling and beautiful photography, this meticulously and stylishly designed hardcover book captures the spirit of these roadside gems from the 1950s and 1960s. Each motel is presented over 4-6 pages, with a detailed narrative and a mix of archival and contemporary photos. Vintage Motels is an inspiring tribute to the glory days of the American road trip and a perfect gift book for design, travel, and history enthusiasts.
