The places we stay. The places we see. Where we rest for a night or a week. Those temporary sanctuaries from the streets and the people. Sometimes they are high end with all the bells and whistles. Sometimes they are utilitarian with just a bed and a table. As long as it’s clean.
Many of these images are of hotels and motels that I’ve seen on my travels and not places I’ve stayed.
Glyndon Hotel
Located in downtown Richmond, KY, the Glyndon opened in 1889. The original building burned and the current building was erected in 1891. Horse-drawn carriages would bring guests from the local L&N depot.
Jellico Motel
The Jellico sits right off of I-75 in Jellico, TN. The motel and restaurant are closed and are currently up for sale.
Rockcastle Hotel
This abandoned hotel is in downtown Mt. Vernon, KY. Built in 1913, the hotel sits right beside the railroad.

Thanks for visiting my hotels of the world gallery! Find more of my travel art here!
Lovely places. Too bad I can’t visit them all. Or even one. Your photos make me dream, which is almost as good–and less stressful!
I’m glad you enjoy them! It makes me want to visit again too!
