El Rey, Santa Fe, New Mexico

The American Southwest is having a major moment right now, so if you find yourself on a road trip through New Mexico, be sure to stop at the recently updated El Rey Court along Route 66. Originally opened in 1936, the motel has always been unique thanks to its traditional adobe-style architecture. Now, after its latest face-lift, the spot has all the makings of a bohemian dream: white washed walls, kiva fireplaces, and Southwestern accents galore. Its buzzed-about new Mezcal and tequila bar, La Reina, is reason enough to pop in.

Rooms start at $109
