Stellar cuisine is often the highlight of a trip, so when choosing where to stay, the quality of the food is a key consideration. Many of our recommended hotels and resorts boast Michelin-starred restaurants, while others are set on farms or ranches that produce sustainably grown ingredients harvested on-site. Often, such properties emphasize their reliance on hyperlocal produce by offering garden tours and culinary classes. Inventive preparation and impeccable service combine to create indelible memories.

Here are our top 12 properties in the United States where guests can savor gourmet cuisine and then head back to supremely comfortable accommodations, whether in a New England sanctuary, a hideaway next to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or a haven in Oregon’s wine country. At the time of writing, these hotels and their restaurants are open and serving full menus, though some are limiting seating capacity, making advance reservations essential.
