If you’re looking for a stateside getaway, the best places to go are Chicago or a Hawaiian island and the best hotel brand to stay at is Four Seasons, according to US News & World Report.

For its just-released annual best hotels report, US News surveyed over 30,000 luxury hotels across North America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Only “luxury hotels,” or hotels with more than 20 rooms and a 4-star “hotel class” rating, were eligible for ranking.

Four thousand US hotels were then reviewed and ranked, based on a combination of travel expert awards and opinions along with guest satisfaction data sourced from TripAdvisor.

The Four Seasons portfolio has five properties in the top 17 alone. Popular locations included Hawaii, Illinois, California, and Florida.

Here's a look at the best luxury hotels to book a stay at in 2020, listed in ascending order of ranking.
