City Collection
With heavy hitters like New York, Los Angeles and Boston to contend with, many of America’s most captivating cities are too easily overlooked when it comes to planning holidays. Here are a few of our favourite unsung heroes.
Seattle
Sitting at the edge of the Puget Sound, America’s Emerald City is the gateway to the Pacific Northwest and the spectacular landscapes of Olympic, Mount Rainier and North Cascades national parks. Of course there’s plenty to explore in Seattle itself, not least the world-famous Pike Place Market, the iconic Space Needle and the original Starbucks coffeeshop.
Chicago
Michelin-star restaurants, memorable museums like the Art Institute of Chicago, parades of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and a music scene that’s second to none are merely a few of the Windy City’s highlights. For a bird’s-eye view of it all, visit Skydeck Chicago on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower, or walk the shore of Lake Michigan for stunning views back at the rising city skyline.
Philadelphia
There’s a lot to love in Philly. History fans can stand in the room where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. Movie buffs can climb the famous ‘Rocky Steps’. Shoppers can run wild at the King of Prussia Mall, one of the largest in America. While foodies can weigh in on the greatest debate in town: who exactly serves the finest Philly cheesesteak?
