Retro Roadtrip: Little American Hotel Resort in Cheyenne Wyoming

What we love about Mid-Century travel is feeling you’ve been thrown back in timelittleamerica6 to a period where motor travel was cool, lounging by the pool was the most fun you could have as a kid and Motels took guests seriously and didn’t just provide you with an impersonal place to sleep.

Little America in Cheyenne is just such a unique place. Luxurious, but a throw back to another time, with a decorating scheme in the French Provincial style, it’s timeless, but with that old classy motel air that makes it a pleasure to stay.

littleamericaroom1The over-sized guestrooms feature flat screen televisions, down pillows and other luxury amenities. But also have mostly original furniture and interiors. The rooms are period, with only necessary upgrades to keep the rooms in pristine and modern condition.

The grounds provide lovely views of the Wyoming prairie and are beautifully landscaped with flower gardens and the pool is fabulous with comfortable lunch chairs that made me crave that afternoon martini!

Our favorite amenities include:

  • Full-service restaurant
  • Lounge and gourmet coffee shop
  • 9-hole executive golf course
  • Over-sized, heated, outdoor pool
  • Fitness centerlittleamerica2
  • Room service
  • Gift shop
  • Kids’ playground
  • Wireless Internet – with a good connection!
  • Mini refrigerator in the room
  • Free HBO
  • Data port and High speed Internet access

It’s not “official” word, but John Hamm (who you would think would know) apparently let it slip during an interview that Mad Men will finally return in March – March 25th to be specific. Here’s another article as well. AMC is still declining to confirm the date at all. So, what do you think? Has it been to long? Would you watch no matter how long it took? Will it have to be an amazing

Mixing my worlds

If you read my “other blog” you realize I love to stitch. I’m a crazy quilter and a self-confessed fabric-o-holic. However, I think I’ve found the perfect blend of my love for midcentury style and my love for fabrics. This past Friday I had the chance to help a gal in our neighborhood mount a piece for an exhibit of these wonderful fabrics: The design is by Lucienne Day, who is one of the most noteworthy British designers

Retro Roadtrip: The Historic Route 66 Motel, Tucumcari, NM

The Historic Route 66 motel was built in the International Style that was enormously popular in the mid 20th Century.  In typical Palm Springs fashion, each room except the suites feature curtain wall, floor to ceiling windows. You can just see Don and Megan Draper pull up out front for a 60’s weekend away! The lobby is probably one of the most distinctive mid-century modern (MCM) public spaces in any small economy motel built during
