The most unusual place to stay in every US state

Forget cookie-cutter hotels – how about booking a stay in a former prison for your next vacation? Or a disused railway carriage? Or a giant, repurposed wine barrel? All of these wacky experiences and more are available in the US, so if you’re looking for a hotel, motel or Airbnb with a difference, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s our selection of the best unusual stay in every state and DC. As always, be sure to check state travel advisories before you head out, and do check individual hotels’ COVID-19 policies before booking.
