Holidays & hotels in America's Deep South

The American Deep South's four major states, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee, all share a rich and innovative culture, history and heritage. 

Driving through the Deep South could not be a more hospitable experience. There is such a relaxed feel here. Locals are only too pleased to help out whether it is giving directions or serving some of those sumptuous Southern specialities. 

As you drive be sure to switch on the radio and listen to the Jazz, Blues, Country, Rock 'n' Roll and Soul that are synonymous with the Deep South. Tennessee conjures up many pictures from the awesome, snowy Smoky Mountains, to a sultry place where the mighty Mississippi lazily winds its way toward the Gulf of Mexico. There is the country music of Nashville, while Memphis is the home of the Blues and birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll. 

Louisiana is a richly diverse state, where enjoyment is guaranteed because of its legendary hospitality. Visitors from around the world keep coming back to the birthplace of Jazz to enjoy its wonderful traditions as well as the world famous cuisine and colourful Mardi Gras celebrations. 

Weather: The Deep South of the USA has a generally mild climate year-round, yet enjoys the beauty of four distinct seasons. Spring and Autumn are seasons of pleasantly warm days and cool nights. Summer daytime temperatures are hot and the air humid. Winter daytime temperatures are cool, occasionally dropping to near zero or below.
