The southern United States fascinates visitors with its history and hospitality.
Relax on a large porch after a day of exploring the cobbled streets and visits to monuments. Provides and exchanges stories of great adventures in a new city. For dinner, choose one of these restaurants inside historical hotels in the United States, each with its own history.
1. The Smith House restaurant
Enter the Smith House Restaurant through the shot of a gold mine, a track of what was booming in Dahlonega, Georgia. You will find that here you do not have to book or even use menus. Instead, the diners share the tables and pass the plates filled with fried chicken to buttermilk and creamy mashed potatoes, which have been served here since 1922, when a room and a meal cost only USD 1.50 a day. It's all part of The Smith House, a friendly inn that is a short distance from the mysterious Appalachian Mountains or the cosmopolitan city of Atlanta.

2. Lüke at Hilton New Orleans / St. Charles Avenue
And as you explore the culinary wonders of New Orleans, Louisiana, take the historic St. Charles Avenue tram to the Hilton New Orleans / St. Charles Avenue, dating from 1927, just a few steps from the charming French quarter of the city. Admire the elaborate facade of the hotel and the large ornate lobby; then, dinner in Lüke, reminiscent of the European-style restaurants that once dotted the city. You'll discover chef John Besh's passion for Louisiana cuisine, made with ingredients obtained from the restaurant's farm, as well as salty oysters from the Gulf and fat Louisiana shrimp.
3. Circa 1886 at Wentworth Mansion
In Charleston, South Carolina, a city that defines southern hospitality and good food, Wentworth Mansion (a former private residence that is now an accommodation) offers 21 rooms that pay tribute to the magnificent past of the city, along with Circa 1886, where the chef Marc Collins gives a fresh and healthy touch to the traditional food of South Carolina (try Carolina's golden rice and popcorn cake, with succulent blue crab and rock shrimp). You will find the restaurant in the original garage of the mansion, which preserves the doors of the old barn and beautiful pine heart floors.
4. Trellis Room at the Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa
This hotel in Mobile, Alabama, was built in 1852. Inside, the Trellis Room restaurant has an open kitchen and a cathedral-style Tiffany glass ceiling that will grab your attention ... at least until the food arrives (try the shrimp's Gulf overflowing or the cake of large pieces of Alabama crab, served with garlic aioli). After lunch, stroll through the resplendent Mobile Bay (Mobile Bay) under the palm trees that sway in the breeze.
