▶ You’ve seen them in movies, you’ve read them in books; These roadside accommodations, with their big, bright neon signs, are one of the most tangible symbols of #Americanculture . So what exactly is a motel and what are the differences between a hotel and a motel? Motels designed for motor vehicle users (the name ‘ #mote l’ is derived from the words ‘motor hotel’) are low-rise buildings that usually prefer the side of highways, compared to hotels that prefer city centres. While the layout of a motel is usually designed to face outward, hotel doors often face a corridor inside the building. Now that you know a little about the subject, here is our list of 9 of our favorite motels that will make your trip to the #USA memorable.
#FARMER’S DAUGHTER #HOTEL, LOS ANGELES, #CALIFORNIA
Located in #LosAngeles, Farmer’s Daughter Hotel exudes a relaxed and modest vibe. The motel’s guests include mixed groups ranging from cosmopolitan tourists to budget-conscious families. The motel’s history dates back to the 1960s, when it was a meeting point for tourists, celebrities, and television executives. After an extensive overhaul in 1990, the venue attained a status between a traditional two-story motel and an extraordinary boutique hotel. While the rooms are pretty standard, you’ll wake up to a cheerful mood every day thanks to the motel’s vibrant yellow color, farm animal posters adorning the walls, country-style rugs, and comfortable rocking chairs.
Top tip: Other features of the motel include a small pool just outside the lobby, bike rentals, and a restaurant called Tart, which specializes in Southern-style American fare and serves endless Bloody Mary cocktails.
When #Pennsylvania #Railroads decided to sell the 19 wagons in 1969, Donald Denlinger submitted an offer. Thus, the Red Caboose Motel & Restaurant was born. Located on the edge of the Strasburg Railroad and an hour’s drive from Philadelphia, the motel offers 38 wagons in a variety of colors, all decorated with different railroad symbols. The motel also has an original dining car where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you feel the food car moving, you don’t have to worry – it’s just a simulation to make you feel like you’re eating on a moving train.
For train enthusiasts: scale model trains and various items made from train parts are also sold in the motel’s gift shop.
#ACEHOTEL & #SWIMCLUB, PALM SPRINGS, CA
How about partying at a motel in the middle of the desert? If the answer is yes, you can find what you are looking for here! Located in Palm Springs, home of the Coachella summer music festival, Ace Hotel & Swim Club combines 1950s motel style with record players, turntables, art-like cocktails and a photo booth. The motel offers a range of rooms, from standard king-size beds filled with materials from Rudy’s Barbershop to rooms with terrace fireplaces or terrace gardens. All rooms feature vintage furnishings and posters, shutter-design walls, and handcrafted bedspreads.
Top tip: Still, the motel’s biggest appeal is its year-round outdoor pool with hammocks, fruity cocktails, dance music by DJs, and an ice cream cart bar serving alcoholic ice cream cones. The opportunity to party until late at the pool, which is open until 2 am, awaits you.
THUNDERBIRD MARFA, MARFA, TEXAS
Minimalist sculptor Donald Judd met several architects intent on preserving the original architecture of the classic 1950s motel, resulting in a modern-looking motel with a retro feel. Locally run and with just 24 rooms, Thunderbird Marfa is a small, stylish and welcoming motel located in the desert city of Marfa, Texas. There are not many interior decoration items, but you will have no trouble noticing the comfortable platform beds, colorful bedspreads in Peruvian patterns, original works and photographs adorning the walls, and the natural light that fills the rooms.
There is also a communal pool where you can cool off outside, as temperatures can reach extremes. In addition to its standard features, the motel also offers typewriters and turntables that can be rented.
