Great Escapes: USA
Other Products:
From the desert mountains of New Mexico to the coast of Maine, the USA offers legendary landscapes and an array of unforgettable places to stay. In Great Escapes USA, Angelika Taschen presents her favorite beach houses, ranches, motels, desert camps, mobile homes, tents, resorts, and inns across one of the world’s most varied countries. With impressive photography, lively texts, and practical details—including how to get there, prices, and book and film tips—this volume celebrates the spirit of the classic American road trip.
The journey begins on the East Coast at artist-loved retreats like Twin Farms in Vermont and Troutbeck in New York, continues through the South with historic stays such as The Moorings Village and Hôtel Peter & Paul, and moves west to destinations like Dunton Hot Springs in Colorado and the visionary desert community of Arcosanti in Arizona. It concludes in California with iconic spots from Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn to The Surfrider Malibu and the Michelin-starred SingleThread in Sonoma County.
Featuring everything from mid-century gems and contemporary designs to glamping sites, ranches, and even a former miners’ camp turned luxury resort, this book captures the diversity, history, and cinematic beauty of American travel.
