The best reason to check in isn’t always the room. OpenTable rounded up 100 hotel restaurants across America that are destinations in their own right.* *The Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in America for 2026 list is generated from over 10,000,000 reviews from verified OpenTable diners and dining metrics from May 1, 2025 – April 30, 2026. Restaurants with a minimum threshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of unique data points, including diner ratings and the percentage of five star reviews. Metrics were weighted to comprise an overall score. The resulting list appears A-Z, not in ranked order.
