Best Hotel In America Is In South Carolina

 TripAdvisor analyzes 12 months of reviews from real travelers at more than 1.6-million hotels to find the best hotels in America and the world.

This year’s best hotel in the U.S. is the French Quarter Inn located in Charleston, South Carolina. It’s a fan favorite for the personal touches it provides, like cookies & milk before bed.

The best hotel in the world for 2025 is the Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya in Akumal, Mexico. Located in a coastal town an hour south of Cancun, travelers love the hotel’s location for snorkeling, beachfront views and exceptional amenities.

TripAdvisor added a new category this year, the best One-of-a-Kind Hotels. The winner is Taj Lake Palace, which “floats like a dream” on Lake Pichola in Udaipur, India.
