America's Most Iconic Motels, Beautifully Restored

A nostalgic road trip past 40 American mid-century motels blending vintage charm with modern comfort.

Vintage Motels showcases 40 historic motels scattered across the United States. Each one was built and opened in the mid-20th century and stands as a stunning example of mid-century architecture. Time seems to have stood still at these locations – but appearances can be deceiving. Every motel featured in this book has been lovingly restored into a welcoming boutique hotel, offering modern comforts without compromising the style and charm of the past.

With rich stories and striking photography, this beautifully designed hardcover book captures the spirit of these roadside gems from the 1950s and 60s. Each motel is presented over 4 to 6 pages, combining detailed narratives with a mix of archival images and contemporary photos. Vintage Motels is an inspiring tribute to the golden age of the American road trip – the perfect gift for lovers of design, travel, and history.
