U.S. News & World Reports ranked more than 2,500 four- to five- star hotels across the USA, the
Caribbean, Mexico and Canada, using three components: reputation among professional travel experts, guest reviews and hotel class ratings. The top 10 percent in each region were selected as award winners in their "2016 Best Hotels" rankings. The Lodge rated No. 1 in "Best Hotels in the U.S."
This is the second time the 5-star hotel located in our backyard made the top of the list since U.S. News & World Report started doing this hotel ranking in 2011. The Lodge, ranked No. 1 in 2014, was in the No. 2 spot last year. The Lodge also tops their list of “Best Georgia Hotels” with sister Sea Island property The Cloister ranked No. 2.
The overview of the exceptional property states the following:
According to recent guests, The Lodge at Sea Island is Southern luxury at its finest. While staying here, travelers will have access to championship golf courses and multiple restaurants, not to mention a food truck. After a day spent golfing or on the beach, guests can kick back in rooms that are outfitted with oriental rugs, spacious bathrooms with deep-soaking tubs and 24-hour butler service. If you're having trouble deciding between The Lodge and its sister property, The Cloister at Sea Island, keep in mind that the latter often sees more families. On the other hand, previous guests say that the smaller Lodge's quieter ambiance might better suit couples. Another perk for romance-seekers is the on-site restaurant, Colt & Alison, which serves up prime cuts of beef and fresh seafood in an intimate atmosphere. The resort sits on the southern tip of Sea Island, Georgia, about 85 miles south of Savannah.
The Lodge and The Cloister are certainly no strangers to top rankings and industry awards, but here's to another feather in Sea Island's cap! To make your reservations to enjoy any of Sea Island's first-class properties, visit www.seaisland.com.
