The best hotels with Michelin-starred restaurants in the US

Based in a 1920s building just a 10-minute walk from the White House, The Jefferson showcases its stately ambitions throughout its library, cocktail bar and upscale spa. As well as having the latest president as your neighbour, guests staying at The Jefferson can pick from a range of classic rooms all fitted with smart devices, in-mirror televisions and soaking tubs. The hotel’s Michelin-starred Plume restaurant is also a major reason to stay, to sample New American fine dining inspired by Jefferson’s gardens at Monticello. Enjoy scallop appetisers and cacao-nib ice cream to finish alongside a classic wine experience for when you’re feeling presidential. For something more casual meanwhile, The Greenhouse offers breakfast and weekend brunch while waiting for Quill piano bar and lounge to open in the evening.

On the outskirts of DC, the small town of Washington, Virginia, deserves to be distinguished from its bigger, outspoken neighbour. The Inn at Little Washington helps do this, 5 star Michelin chef and owner Patrick O’ Connell at the helm. Backed by the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, this Victorian inn is the perfect base for exploration in Shenandoah National Park, though the 24-acre grounds also host a farm and private hiking trails. With as many as three Michelin stars to its name and a Green Star for sustainability, the hotel’s restaurant is a high point, with O’Connell drawing on classical French influences to create an intimate dinner party to remember… if it wasn’t for the award-winning 14,000 bottle wine cellar, chock full of local Virginia wines.

High up on the bucket list for foodies is a visit to New York City, specifically, today, it’s to the glamorous Langham Place Hotel on Fifth Avenue, where Michelin-star restaurant Ai Fiori cooks up a storm. A stone’s throw from the Empire State Building, this top hotel ensures five-star luxury all the way, from its understated collection of multi-million-dollar artwork to its Mediterranean Riviera-inspired cuisine served on tables overlooking the city below. Past guests include heads of state and NBA players, showing that sophistication doesn’t have to have a strict dress code.

Elevating chain hotels to a whole new level, the Park Hyatt Washington DC brings everything you would expect from the Hyatt brand – exemplary hospitality, modern amenities, chic yet muted design – and then some, by way of its one-Michelin-star restaurant, the Blue Duck Tavern. A cosy spot for the community as well as travellers, the Blue Duck Tavern keeps things casual with slow-roasted American dishes, hot out of the wood-burning Molteni oven. All the food served by head chef, Troy Knapp, is sourced locally, as are many of the wines from the cellar, poured with brunch or dinner inside or out on the terrace overlooking DC’s West End.

Hidden way up in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company building, The New York Edition hotel is one for those in the know. Some 41 storeys tall with its own clocktower, the hotel’s new restaurant comes complete with 360-degree views over Madison Square Park and the Flatiron Building, though primarily you’ll be wowed by chef Jason Atherton’s British influenced menu. Expect modern twists on classic dishes such as the scotch egg with walnut ketchup or the Berkshire pork chop with bubble and squeak cake, saving room for a dessert Michelin star approved – namely, the banoffee baked Alaska for two.
