"Recently, hotel owners have seen the value in not only having restaurants as an amenity for their guests, but also in being a culinary destination for locals and even travelers staying elsewhere," Chef Stephanie Izard of the Cabra–Chicago, Boka Restaurant Group told OpenTable.

"Travelers have so many options of places to stay, culinary offerings are a big part of making that choice," she said.

Open Table, in partnership with KAYAK, highlighted the top spots, compiled from diner reviews and demand metrics including diner ratings, percentage of bookings made in advance, and five-star reviews.

OpenTable and KAYAK consumer research surveys show 73 percent of Americans would book the same hotel again because of the dining experience in its restaurant. Among other findings:

  • 58 percent of Americans feel that hotel restaurant offerings have gotten better over time due to the quality of food (60 percent), atmosphere (57 percent), and service (56 percent);
  • 47 percent of Americans have booked a trip to visit a specific restaurant.; and
  • 45 percent of Americans have found themselves posting more about their restaurant meals than the sights on their trip
