Some examples of the unique America-inspired road trips:

A 14-day, build-your-own journey that brings the classic American road trip to life, including a 2026 Jeep_® Grand Cherokee and free bp fuel for a year*. Combine bucket-list landmarks with blink-and-you’ll-miss-it roadside stops and unexpected detours along the way with the help of GetYourGuide. With stays at roadside-favorite Hampton along your chosen route, this adventure offers new ways to explore both iconic destinations and lesser-known gems from sea to shining sea.
A scenic road trip through Zion and Bryce Canyon delivers peak Southwest stunners – towering cliffs, endless vistas, and views that demand a camera roll clear-out this summer. This experience ends with a private, astronomer-led stargazing session under some of the darkest skies in the country, where the stars absolutely steal the show.

Each of the 12 Hilton Honors America experiences will be available to one member on a first-come, first-served basis so it’s important to stay tuned for updates and notifications on future drops. Of course, travelers who aren’t able to snag one of the 12 experiences can still explore their own road trip experiences with a stay at Hilton locations across the country. After one member snags an experience, it is no longer available for booking until the next experience drops.

Savannah Beyond the Postcard

Take a look at one of the greatest southern cities from a different perspective.

Architecture, Building, Spire

Savannah is one of those cities that seems almost too easy to like. The live oaks are dramatic. The Spanish moss does exactly what it is supposed to do. The brick sidewalks buckle in all the right places. The houses look like they were designed by people who understood proportion, shade, and the value of a proper front step. Even the light seems to arrive with better manners than it does in most places.

I have a built-in advantage when it comes to Savannah. We have family there, so we have been back several times, not just once for the checklist version of the city. I have also done a photography workshop there, which is a terrific way to learn any city. You get up early, stay out late, and pay attention to alleys, doorways, ironwork, reflections, and the way a city changes when the tourists are still asleep.

I spent 72 hours in London with only a carry-on. Here’s how I did it in style

Luxury travel doesn't require a checked bag

London

Somewhere between the baggage claim carousel and the Elizabeth Line, I realized I'd already won. As passengers from my Norwegian flight to London crowded around the conveyor belt waiting for checked luggage to appear, I was already on my way into the city. Twenty minutes later, I was headed toward central London with nothing more than a carry-on suitcase and a backpack. I've become a bit of a carry-on evangelist over the past few years. Not because I'm trying to prove some minimalist point or because I enjoy seeing how few shirts I can survive with. I just genuinely think it's the better way to travel, especially for a long weekend in Europe.

My recent 72-hour trip from Copenhagen to London wasn't exactly a backpacker's itinerary. It included a stay at one of London's nicest luxury hotels, rooftop cocktails, dinners worth dressing up for, and plenty of walking through Soho, Covent Garden, and the rest of central London. Somehow, everything I needed fit inside my Travelpro Platinum Elite Slim Cabin Hardshell Spinner V2, with a backpack holding my flight essentials.

This New Montana Hotel Captures the Poetry of the Open Road

Helena's newest boutique hotel revives the spirit of the classic roadside motel.

Corner, Home Decor, Bed

In case you need another excuse for a Montana getaway this summer, a quirky new boutique hotel has opened in Helena, the Treasure State's capital. The Bell Hotel occupies the site of the former Bell Motel, a classic 1950s roadside lodge thoughtfully reimagined by CWG Architecture. Each of its 14 rooms features locally made chocolates, coffee, and artwork. While in town, ask the front desk about the Bell's Picnic in the Park package. The hotel supplies a basket of local treats and a blanket; Montana provides the sublime scenery and glorious weather. You're on your own for companionship.
