The Best Resort Hotels In The Continental U.S.

We’ve all been experiencing especially difficult times due to the ongoing pandemic, and it has made it impossible or at the very least very difficult to travel. Many of us rely on travel in order to relax and unwind, and so the loosening of certain restrictions are certainly welcome. What better way to treat yourself kindly than by spending some time at one of the best resort hotels in the continental U.S.? These are the most desirable hotels according to Travel + Leisure‘s World’s Best Awards.

Nobu Ryokan Malibu, California

If you’ve ever wanted to feel the way celebrities do when they go away, this is the hotel destination for you. While each night comes with a hefty price tag, it is certainly worth it.
