This Fort Worth hotel restaurant is one of the best in the country, list says
Where one sleeps, one also needs to eat. It’s a bonus when a hotel has a restaurant that makes the stay all the better.
Luckily, to find the best hotel experience possible, OpenTable and Kayak created a list of the top 100 hotel restaurants in the country.
The travel and dining sites discovered through consumer surveys that 73 percent of Americans would rebook the hotel they are staying at if there is a positive dining experience associated with it.
They found Austin among the cities with the most top-rated hotel restaurants, boasting three. Dallas and San Antonio each made the list twice, and Fort Worth also earned a spot of its own.
Some of these hotel restaurants aren’t just recognized by rankings and lists, but a few are also noted in the Texas Michelin Guide.
Here’s the North Texas hotel restaurants that are in the country’s top 100.
The best hotel restaurants in North Texas
OpenTable and Kayak’s surveys also found that 60 percent of diners at hotel restaurants are tourists, while the other 40 percent are locals.
So, for North Texas residents, these hotel restaurants are in your backyard. You don’t need to book a night at the hotel to try the place out.
