Restaurants can be a big part of the hotel experience. To help foodies find the best of the best, reservation site OpenTable.com, named the best 100 U.S. restaurants and 11 of those happen to be hotel restaurants.
According to the list, 11 of the hottest U.S. restaurants are at hotels. Five of those are in Las Vegas, two are in Miami and two are in Los Angeles. Two of the restaurants are owned by celebrity chef Jose Andres. His restaurant The Bazaar in at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills and the SLS Hotel in Miami both made the list.
Two STK restaurants, best known as a steakhouse/ supper club made the list. One of them is located in Perry South Beach Hotel in Miami, and the other is at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.
While New York has thousands of hot restaurants, and many of them were on the list, none of New York's hotels had the top eateries. There were 14 restaurants that made the top though.
"It's such a competitive restaurant market," OpenTable's Chief Dining Officer Caroline Potter said, according to USA Today. "New York is a pedestrian-friendly city. It is easy to wander out of your hotel and come across several restaurants. In a place where you take a car or a taxi, there's a lot of opportunity for those hotels to keep people dining in-house."
The top 100 restaurants were chosen based on more than five million reviews from OpenTable users. They reviewed more than 15,000 restaurants in the country, but OpenTable offers reservation services for 27,000 restaurants in the world.
The best of the best were located in 21 states. California had the most top restaurants at 26 while Florida came in at a close second with 18. The top restaurants vary in cuisines from with American, Asian, Greek, Italian, and more.
