The Most Famous Hotel Restaurant In Every State

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

When travelling throughout the country, there are a few key things that people look for in a restaurant. They want a place with delicious food or a place that's interesting and unique. Bonus points if it's somewhere convenient, for example, if it's inside your hotel. 

The type of restaurant you find in a hotel usually depends on the hotel itself. More high-end, luxury, boutique hotels are going to have restaurants that are upscale and elegant, while more moderate hotels often have comfortable but still classy eateries. If you've stumbled upon an inn and restaurant spot, you'll probably find something cozy and comfortable. All types can potentially serve good or bad food, and all types have the potential to become iconic in their own way. Maybe locals secretly love it, despite it being in a hotel. Maybe it's been around for over a century, or it revolutionized American dining. Whether you're looking for great food or a unique atmosphere, you're sure to find one or both by visiting a famous hotel restaurant.

Methodology

"Famous" is a relatively subjective term. There are a lot of factors that can make something famous, and not all of them are good. 

To determine which restaurants were the most famous, we started by looking at things like which restaurants had the most chatter online or which had a significant history. If that information wasn't available, we looked at which had the highest number of reviews, both good and bad, across multiple review sites.
