U.S. Hotels Highlight Sustainability, Retro, Drive-In Experiences

Travel features highlight distinctive stays and low-key entertainment across the U.S., from Austin’s newly opened 1 Hotel, a luxury property emphasizing sustainable design and local materials, to retro roadside lodging in Myrtle Beach. Washington’s Rodeo Drive-In offers a double feature for about $12 per person, while Colorado’s Movie Manor lets guests watch the neighboring drive-in from their motel rooms. In Texas Hill Country, the Antlers Inn combines a Victorian inn and cabins with overnight stays in vintage railroad cars and cabooses near the water. Together, the destinations favor memorable, character-rich experiences over conventional resort amenities.
