Four Local Spots Land on OpenTable's Top 100
Based on more than 10 million verified diner reviews, OpenTable found that 61% of Americans have chosen a destination because of its dining scene.
It makes sense when you consider how many visitors head to Chicago just to eat, and even more so when you realize 60% of summer travelers specifically book a hotel because of its restaurant.
The Rise of "Destination Dining" Without Staying the Night
In fact, 92% of people surveyed by OpenTable said they've eaten at a hotel restaurant without actually staying there. I count myself among them, as I've done it many times.
It also appears travel is up, with hotel reservations increasing 13% compared to last year. I love food, and I love to travel, so that's a combination I can get behind.
