2 Wisconsin resorts make Travel + Leisure magazine’s 2024 World’s Best lists

Sundara Inn & Spa in Wisconsin Dells topped the list for destination spas in the United States. It’s quite an achievement since the list of 15 spas was dominated by California and southwest states. According to Travel + Leisure, its position at the top of the rankings was also a surprise since the spa hadn’t made the list at all in the past few years.

Spas were rated on their facilities, treatments, service, food and value, and Travel + Leisure readers rated Sundara high, with one surveyed guest calling the resort “a hidden gem in Wisconsin. I truly feel refreshed and uplifted after leaving the property at the end of my stay. It has been awesome to see their growth and building over the years to accommodate the number of people that go there.”

Kohler’s American Club Resort Hotel also ranked on a Travel + Leisure list: eighth on the magazine’s 10 favorite resorts in the Midwest. The American Club has been a boutique hotel since 1981 and is known for its restaurant, spa and world-class golf courses.
