USA

Elect's take

"The USA is a destination I never run out of reasons to return to. The scale, diversity and energy of the country means that each visit can feel entirely different from the last."

New York remains one of the world's great cities. The combination of neighbourhoods, culture, food and energy creates something that is genuinely difficult to replicate anywhere else. Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami and Boston each offer their own distinct character and reward extended exploration. The American national parks represent some of the most spectacular natural landscapes on Earth. Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Zion alone would justify a dedicated trip. Nashville has emerged as one of the most exciting food and culture cities in the country, while New Orleans maintains a character entirely its own. The USA also has an outstanding luxury hotel scene, from legendary New York institutions to remarkable resort properties in Palm Springs, Scottsdale and beyond.
