German term or phrase: Weite des Landes
Bei dem Text handelt es sich um die Homepage eines Motels. Der Verfasser (=ich) möchte ausdrücken, dass die Dekoration des Motels den American Way of Life widerspiegelt. Den alle diejenigen schätzen, die nicht nur die großen beeindruckenden Megacities der USA besuchen, sondern die *Weite des Landes* erfahren.

Bei linguee.com gibt es ein paar Formulierungen, die ich aber noch nicht beeindruckend genug finde. Ich würde mich also gerne von ein paar Native Speakers inspirieren lassen.

Mehr Kontext habe ich leider nicht, da die Webseite gerade im gedanklichen Entstehen ist. Weite des Landes soll auch in der Übersetzung positiv besetzt sein.
