Hotels in Utah State

Famous for being cowboy country, the vast ‘Lone Star State’ of Texas was once a nation in its own right. You can experience the full spectrum of cultures and history here, from Mexican and Spanish to German and African-American. Texas draws you in with its hospitality and independent spirit, and has something for everyone: raise the roof at an Austin gig, shop ‘till you drop in cosmopolitan Dallas, and enjoy the romance of San Antonio.

Things to do

In the south-western South Texas Plains region is San Antonio, one of the best resorts in Texas for families. Look out for huge theme parks like Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Splashtown. In the central Hill Country region, further north is bohemian state capital Austin. It’s renowned for a live music scene that’s had it dubbed ‘The Live Music Capital of the World’. In the north-eastern Prairies and Lakes district is Dallas, one of the biggest cities in the USA and Fort Worth National Historic District. Houston is USA’s fourth largest city, is home to amazing museums and cultural centers, world-class shopping and Space Centre Houston. Enjoy Houston attractions at a discount with Houston CityPASS.

The ‘Evergreen State’ sits up on the upper west coast of the USA, bordering Canada. It’s the birthplace of grunge and specialty coffee, a producer of world-renowned wine, and home to a volcano. Washington is a state of contrasts. To the south is the hot and dry Wine Country and Walla Walla; to the west, the cosmopolitan ‘Emerald City’ of Seattle sits in the shadow of the snow-tipped mountains.

Things to do

If distinctive urban style is what you’re looking for, Seattle is ideal - it’s regarded as one of the coolest cities in the USA. No wonder; it made coffee fashionable, and is the birthplace of the grunge music scene. For a more easy-going vibe, head south to sophisticated Vancouver, with its elegant architecture and tranquil scenery. Those seeking something different will love warm and sunny Yakima Valley, where you can wander around the vineyards and stay in a rustic bed and breakfast.

The USA’s southern states, or the ‘Deep South’, are known collectively for their rich histories and cultures, and incredible musical legacy. Here you’ll discover the roots of jazz, blues, gospel, rock and country. In Tennessee, Memphis and state capital Nashville are two cities with rather different vibes. Where Memphis in the southwest gives you the colourful life one can expect from the largest city on the Misissipp River, Nashville gives you a city which is at the centre of the music industry. Further down south in Louisiana, is the sultry New Orleans (or ‘NOLA’). Here in the birthplace of jazz, voodoo meets faded colonial glamour, and you can eat your way through multiple cultures in one meal.

Things to do

There are plenty of attractions in the Deep South for music buffs – it’s dotted with museums, venues and iconic open memorials like Graceland. If you come for the music, then stay for the food; taste home-cooked gumbo (a spicy soup with meat and shellfish) in New Orleans and sticky barbeque pork ribs in Memphis. Take some time to soak up the atmosphere in the bars and clubs – after all, this is where the rock’n’roll lifestyle was invented. For less wild times, you can take easy-going city tours, admiring the elegant old architecture.
