The American Club Resort Hotel Rated Among Top Luxury Hotels in America by U.S. News & World Report
Kohler, Wis. (PRWEB) February 04, 2015 -- Using a comprehensive methodology that takes into account the opinions of both professional travel experts and hotel guests, U.S. News & World Report has once again placed The American Club hotel at Destination Kohler on its list of the top luxury hotels in America. U.S. News & World Report rankings, regarded as one of the hotel industry’s truest indicators of excellence, also named The American Club the best hotel in the state for the second year in a row.
“U.S. News & World Report only looks at a small percentage of the very top hotels, so it’s especially meaningful to be awarded this honor,” said Michael Belot, General Manager of Destination Kohler. “This is a news source that has developed a very sophisticated rating system that its readers rely on, and people look to it for unbiased ratings on everything from colleges to cars. We are exceptionally proud to be on this list again.”
Authors of the highly anticipated annual rankings list looked at more than 1,700 luxury hotels across the United States. Using their criteria, a hotel must fall at or above the 90th percentile of all the ranked hotels in the country in order to be considered among the “best” in the U.S. “We’re taking the guesswork out of finding a great hotel,” said Erin Shields, Travel Editor for U.S. News & World Report. “The Best Hotels of 2015 represent the top properties recognized by experts and travelers alike for their exemplary service, ample amenities, and comfortable accommodations.” Of the hotels reviewed for this year’s list of the best in the country, The American Club was ranked #164 and was the only hotel in Wisconsin to make the list.
U.S. News & World Report took note of the fact that both professional critics and the majority of Trip Advisor travelers gave The American Club ratings of “Excellent.” The article also mentioned that visitors “applaud” the five on-site dining options and appreciate the “wide array of treatments and services” at the Kohler Waters Spa. It touted the resort’s “enormous sports facility” and stated that families enjoyed being able to tour the Kohler Co. factory to see how faucets and fixtures are made. It also said guests had “high praise for the Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run golf courses, saying their beauty rivals the rugged courses of Scotland.”
