The United States is a resilient country; dotted throughout the country are remnants of its past. These hotels were built in times where gangsters, authors and presidents traveled the country in style. They have been closed, reopened, remodeled and have weathered storms such as the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the Great Depression. Curious to see your state’s most historic hotel? Check out this slideshow.
Note: These hotels are by no means the oldest hotels in each state, and neither are they the only historic hotel in each state. Many of the hotels chosen are listed as members under the Historic Hotels of America National Trust for Historic Preservation, an association that aims at preserving and restoring American hotel history.
