The plaudits for Chicago keep coming.
It was recently named the No.1 place in the US and seventh in the world for culture by Time Out. And now the Windy City can boast of being home to the best hotel in America — The Peninsula Chicago — with the property also making the global top 10.
That’s according to website laliste.com, which has just released its annual ranking of the best 1,000 hotels on the planet.
The list is drawn up by a “sophisticated algorithm” that analyzes thousands of reviews, professional evaluations, and guest feedback. Properties that make the final selection are then assigned a score out of 100.
Laliste.com, which also produces an annual restaurant ranking, says: “This selection represents hospitality excellence across three continents.”
The Peninsula Chicago tops the US list with a score of 99.5.
Five US hotels all share the runners-up spot with scores of 98.5. They are the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego; L’Ermitage Beverly Hills; The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel in New York City; The Peninsula Beverly Hills; and The Setai, Miami Beach.
A further five US hotels all receive 98 points to form a top 11 — Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Kailua-Kona; Hotel Bel-Air; the Montage Healdsburg in California; The Langham, Chicago; and Wynn Las Vegas.
La Liste describes The Peninsula Chicago, located on the “prestigious” intersection of Michigan and Chicago avenues, as an “architectural statement piece that delivers Asian service philosophy within distinctly American spaces”.
It adds: “Its rooms — among the most technologically advanced in the world — offer intuitive automation that enhances rather than intrudes upon the guest experience.”
