The DNA of the USA
Where Architectural Icons Meet Endless Reinvention
Few countries offer such an extraordinary range of architecture, design and landscapes as the United States. Art Deco skyscrapers in New York and Miami, Mid-Century Modernism in Palm Springs, historic mansions in New Orleans and bold contemporary architecture on the West Coast all tell very different stories. Former motels, warehouses, banks and industrial landmarks are constantly being reinvented, while independent hoteliers continue to challenge what an American hotel can look and feel like.
That diversity is just as evident in food and drink. Regional traditions—from Southern cooking and New England seafood to Californian farm-to-table cuisine and the flavours of the Southwest—meet influences brought by generations of immigrants from around the world. Neighbourhood diners, legendary hotel bars, craft breweries and roadside institutions coexist with some of the world’s most ambitious restaurants and cocktail bars, making eating and drinking an essential part of travelling across America.
For DNA Hotels, the USA is particularly exciting because its hotel culture embraces personality. Restored roadside motels, desert hideaways, historic city landmarks, architectural experiments and boldly designed urban hotels offer an alternative to the predictable chains found across the country. We curate the places with a story, a strong point of view and a genuine connection to their surroundings—hotels where architecture, interiors, food and American creativity turn the stay into part of the journey.
