Authentic Travel, Leisure & Destination Advertising from the Golden Age of Print

The Vintage Hotel & Resort Ads Collection from Adirondack Retro transports you to the glamour and sophistication of travel’s golden age—when hospitality was celebrated through the artistry of print advertising. Each authentic magazine advertisement captures the elegance, optimism, and promise of leisure, showcasing how hotels and resorts became icons of culture, architecture, and design.
