5 ultimate week-long luxury summer road trips to savour across America
Hire a Porsche Macan GTS or iconic Ford Mustang for a stunning national parks pilgrimage or cruise through California’s high spots
The days are getting longer and the weather’s getting warmer: it’s time for a good, old-fashioned road trip.
Embrace a quirky detour or two along classic highways and byways to discover America’s most exciting cultural debuts, food oases, and fast-evolving cities.
Best of all, no roadside motel is needed. Each one of the five week-long itineraries includes overnight stays at some of the country’s most lavish new spots, even in rustic locales unaccustomed to five-star accommodation such as Yellowstone National Park.
So what are you waiting for? The open road awaits.
A delicious Southern drive
Ready to take on the biscuit byways? Or hit the sweet tea circuit? Whatever you want to call your adventure through the South, food will be front and centre – now more than ever.
Days 1-3: start in Charleston, South Carolina, where the plush Hotel Bennett has just opened in a historic building on King Street – next to some of the city’s hottest new restaurants, such as Melfi’s. (The hotel’s own restaurant Gabrielle, which merges Charleston flavours and European techniques, is getting plenty of buzz, too.)
Want to get hands-on with the city’s food history? The French Quarter Inn has just started food tours with local chef Benjamin Dennis, who once showed the late chef Anthony Bourdain around the city for his Parts Unknown television series.
