Head to the Windy City for a stay at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, which is offering guests a “Suite 1776” experience during the month of July. As the only hotel in Chicago with enough space to have a guestroom numbered “1776,” this riverfront property is taking advantage of its size to celebrate Independence Day in style.

The fully-immersive suite blends elevated Americana design with playful touches in vibrant red, white, and blue. A custom “Declaration of Stay” letter welcomes new guests, and the suite is fully stocked with plenty of American-made snacks like Cracker Jacks, mini glass Coke bottles, and more.

Journey west to the Heartland where you can spend the night in the beautifully historic Hotel Pattee in Perry, Iowa. Opened in 1912, this historic hotel features a stunning Arts & Crafts interior with cozy communal spaces, onsite restaurant, and even a bowling alley in its basement. While the property has 40 different themed rooms, the Marching Band room is the perfect overnight stay to celebrate the stars and stripes.

Lean into the nostalgia of warm summer nights at high school football games with this Americana-forward themed suite. Visitors will spend the night surrounded by an array of musical instruments from the flute, piccolo, saxophone, trumpet, cymbals, and more. Plus, the festive decor continues with uniforms from the 18th and 19th centuries.

For an adventure in the Ozarks, book a stay amongst the stars and stripes in the aptly-named Patriotic Bunker room at The Bradford Inn just west of Branson, Missouri. This family-owned boutique hotel has been operating in a New England–style home since 1994, but its rooms and amenities are thoroughly modern. In fact, in 2025 The Bradford Inn was named the “Best Romantic Getaway” by the Best of Branson Awards.

While the inn offers a variety of cozy options for travelers, the Patriotic Bunker is perfect for a star spangled-stay. The room is decorated in tasteful swaths of red, white, and blue, alongside plenty of patriotic memorabilia. After a busy day exploring nearby Branson and the Lake of the Ozarks, this is the perfect spot to unwind.
