Modern hotels trace their history to early America, and Slate currently has a terrific slide show from A.K. Sandoval-Strausz depicting just how the country built and shaped them. “The hospitality industry is one of the fastest-growing segments of the international economy,” Sandoval-Strausz writes. “So it is easy to forget that the hotel, as we know it today, was once a new invention, an experiment that initially met with failure and endured periods of slow, halting development.”
