Best Luxury Destinations in the US

Today’s luxury resorts run the gamut from dude ranches to spa retreats to private islands where you’ll only see a handful of other guests.

If you are traveling with the family, you may get the most bang for your buck at an all-inclusive resort that includes a variety of activities for the kids. Many of these resorts are extremely upscale, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice style.

Other resorts cater to couples, offering quiet retreats where you can really get to know each other. Spa resorts are in a league of their own, so prepare to be pampered like never before.

Spa resorts are in a class of their own, so get ready to be treated like royalty like you’ve never been before.

1.Nobu Ryokan Malibu, California

This 16-room oasis, which opened in 2017, is modelled after a traditional Japanese inn and embraces the tranquillity and stylishness that so many tourists sought during a turbulent year.

The simple and clean style of the resort — deep teak soaking tubs, limestone walls — and thoughtful amenities like custom yukata robes helped readers relax. Another feature that voters praised was Nobu Ryokan’s embrace of nature, which included lush gardens and stunning ocean views.

“It’s the best place in Malibu,”  one foresighted reader observed.

Though there are no formal dining or wellness amenities on-site, visitors can visit the iconic chef’s Malibu restaurant just steps away; the resort’s clever partnership with Cure Spa allows for in-room treatments or prioritized reservations at its location across the street.

2.Amangiri, Utah

Amangiri, Aman’s second estate in the United States, is set on 600 acres in Canyon Point, Utah. The resort, which is by far the best luxury hotel in the United States, is nestled in a protected valley with sweeping views of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

The absolutely gorgeous resort, constructed around a central swimming pool with amazing scenery, fits nicely into its remarkable surroundings, where deep canyons and tall plateaus make a raw scenery of extraordinary power.

The unrivalled backcountry access at Amangiri allows visitors to discover the area’s remarkable desert landscapes on foot. Amangiri also has a high-end ‘glamping’ site, Camp Sarika, that is connected to the main resort.

Amangani clings to the crest of East Gros Ventre Butte, providing spectacular scenery of the Grand Tetons and the Snake River Valley below.

The all-seasons resort, operated by the world’s finest luxury hotel brand, conveys the environment of the American West. Amangani was thoughtfully designed with Wyoming-native materials, including redwood walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and woven cowhide chairs.

Suites feature king-sized beds, fireplaces, daybeds, and decks with stunning mountain views. It’s a great place to splurge near Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.

4.The Setai, Miami Beach

The Setai is a peaceful and private hideaway of calm in the heart of South Beach.

Its design and vision blend the rich historic architecture of South Beach’s Art Deco District with the multidimensional social heritage of the International Art Deco movement, especially its impact in Asia.

The hotel’s landmark Art Deco building on Collins Avenue was constructed in the 1930s as the legendary Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel. A 40-story glass residential tower with ocean suites nearby to the Art Deco building outperforms all around it in elevation, views, and design.

5.Waldorf Astoria, Las Vegas

The Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas stands 47 stories above the city. With panoramic views of the city and the desert, the hotel provides the ideal blend of aesthetic, calmness, and elegance in a non-gaming setting.

The Sky Lobby on the 23rd floor is a stunning entrance to a chic bar, fine dining, and subtle luxurious lifestyle. The 392 rooms and suites are super comfy, with an elegant décor that includes subtle Asian-inspired touches.

The bathrooms are mind blowing, with views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Nothing, however, equates to the hotel’s top three suites, which each span 3,000 square feet.

6.Brush Creek Ranch, Wyoming

Brush Creek Ranch, located on a 30,000-acre working cattle ranch in Wyoming, is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest hotels in the United States.

The resort grounds include rolling hills, verdant river valleys, thick greenery, and magnificent rock formations, all of which combine to create an atmosphere in which you can relax in true elegance.

It’s a place where authentic Western hospitality, unrestrained adventure, and an inspirational scenery combine to form an exclusive icon among international luxury destinations. The sprawling resort includes an energising spa as well as lodge rooms, cabin suites, and residences.

7.Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, Big Island

This truly iconic waterfront luxury resort on the Big Island’s exclusive Kona-Kohala Coast embodies the essence of Hawaiian design, culture, and tradition, and is continuously one of the most sought-after resorts by honeymooners.

The extremely broad, open-air living spaces and island-inspired décor are complemented by an unmatched collection of native Hawaiian art. The resort’s 243 guest rooms and suites are housed in intimate two-story bungalows and exude authentic Hawaiian luxury.

There is also an award-winning sports club and spa on the property, as well as a private Jack Nicklaus signature golf course.

8.Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur, California

Post Ranch Inn, a retreat for the soul and one of the USA’s most highly regarded fancy hotels, sits 400 meters (1200 feet) above the Pacific Ocean on the cliffs of Big Sur.

The woodsy sanctuary is situated on the Californian Highway, which connects San Francisco and Los Angeles and is considered one of the most picturesque roads in the world.

The 39 rooms blend woodsy glamour, comfort, and privacy with 360 degrees ocean or views of the mountains, thanks to natural architecture that embraces the coast’s dramatic beauty and the surrounding redwoods.

Romance and connection appear to flourish here.

9.Little Palm Island, Florida Keys

Little Palm Island is as close to a luxury hotel experience on a secluded private island as you can get in the continental United States.

This Florida Keys resort, only accessible by boat or seaplane, is an isolated world of lush tropical gardens, crushed seashell paths, and 30 thatched-roof, Bahamas-style bungalows. The soundtrack at this resort is the lapping of ocean waves, the rustle of leaves in the breeze, and the melody of neighbouring birds and tree frogs, as there are no phones or televisions.

Days are spent lounging in hammocks strung between palm trees, on lounge chairs on the small beach, and at the world-class restaurant and spa.

10.Mandarin Oriental, New York

This 5-star hotel enjoys an unmatched setup in the midst of the action, enjoying a prime location on top of the Time Warner Centre at the southwest corner of Central Park and within easy reach of all of the city’s iconic locations, shops, and sights.

The 198 luscious rooms and 46 luxurious suites provides the greatest blend of aesthetic, relaxation, and elegance, with stunning floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson River, Central Park, and Manhattan’s glittering skyline.

The luxurious spa at the hotel is one of the best on Manhattan’s island.
