7 of the Oldest Hotels in the World

Beekman Arms & Delamater Inn, United States

This cosy lodging in forest-strewn Hudson Valley claims to be America’s oldest continually operating hotel. The Beekman Arms sprang into existence in 1766, when it was attached to an existing traveller’s tavern from 1704. Back then, the venue was known as the Bogardus Tavern and was active during the American Revolutionary War, when American troops would practice military drills on the front lawn.
