It might only be January but U.S. News and World Report has released its 2015 rankings of the best hotels in the United States and around the world. They have a very specific methodology they use when deciding how and which hotels to rank. Their rating system combines a hotel’s industry accolades with expert and guest reviews and hotel class ratings. U.S. News scored luxury hotels, identifying the top 10 percent in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean with Gold badges and the top 30 percent within specific markets with Silver badges. The rankings feature 2,558 hotels across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
According to Erin Shields, travel editor for U.S. News, “We’re taking the guesswork out of finding a great hotel. The Best Hotels of 2015 represent the top properties recognized by experts and travelers alike for their exemplary service, ample amenities and comfortable accommodations.”
One of those bests just so happens to be Reno’s very own Peppermill Resort Spa Casino, which was ranked as the number one hotel in Reno.
“We’re extremely excited to hear that The Peppermill has received these awards,” Billy Paganetti, Peppermill Reno general manager, said. “Our team strives to create the best possible guest experience, and it’s an honor to see our hard work recognized.”
