Don't spend your next trip to the east coast at airports and hotels! From New York City to the Appalachian Mountains, Miami Beach to Niagara Falls, there are countless attractions to visit and take in.While this list could go on and on, here are 11 of the most breathtaking spots our eastern United States has to offer:
A Word of Caution No, I'm not talking about one star hotels just yet. Rather, it's important to realize that there is no, one single scale that determines what stars which hotels get. Stars are given my hundreds of different organizations based on many different standards. The difference between Europe's 4-star system and America's 5-star system is just the beginning.
So as you read these descriptions of the different star hotels, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Use these stars as a beginning guideline, but if you really care about what services you will be getting at a particular hotel, ask them directly. Ok? Great.
The Biltmore Estate The former home of George Vanderbilt, the 125,000-acre Biltmore Estate is a shining example of 19th century luxury and grandeur, located high in the Appalachian Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina.
This is especially true if you are going for a long distance flight. You may be tempted to eat that burger or go for some heavy spaghetti, but you will regret it when the jet lag hits and your stomach is reeling.
They offer many of the same services - room service, valet parking, concierge service - plus excellent fitness rooms, business rooms, lounges, and banquet rooms (as do most 5 star hotels).
Downtown Savannah The Savannah Historic District is the largest historical landmark in the country. Get a glimpse of pre-Civil War Georgia, with cobblestone streets, historic mansions, churches, and plenty of entertainment for the entire family!
3 Star Hotels Also very nice and comfortable, 3 star hotels also provide room service, concierge service, fitness rooms, pools, on-site restaurants, and convenient locations. They are clean and well decorated, but lack the fine elegance you would find in 5 or 4 star hotels.
2 Star Hotels As we get down into the 2 star range, you'll see fewer services, but still comfortable and clean rooms. You'll rarely if ever see room service, but many 2 star hotels still have an on-site restaurant. Rooms will be medium to small sized with basic amenities like a TV, phone, and hair dryer, but not much else unless specified.
Statue of Liberty Nothing is more symbolic of freedom and democracy than the Statue of Liberty, which was actually a gift from France to the U.S. as a token of the two countries' friendship. Take in the view from lower Manhattan, or ride a ferry out to Liberty Island.
You need to trick your body into thinking that it is night time and that means that you eat less if it is night time in the area where you are going. It also means that you turn off the lights and try and get some sleep.
They are usually in walking distance of restaurants and are generally located near major highways and forms of transportation.
Featuring the marine life of the sound, the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, Connecticut, boasts sharks, sea otters, and 259 species in all. If you are planning on attending this aquarium, definitely look for hotels in Norwalk, Connecticut!
