2 MD Hotel Restaurants Named Among OpenTable's Top 100 In America

Two Maryland restaurants have earned spots on OpenTable's 2026 list of the Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in America.

The annual list, released Tuesday, highlights hotel restaurants across the country based on more than 10 million verified diner reviews and dining metrics collected between May 1, 2025, and April 30, 2026, a news release said.

The Maryland restaurants that made the list are:

• Ammoora - Ritz-Carlton Residences in Baltimore, described by OpenTable as featuring "a realm of authentic Levantine cuisine, culture and design." Ammoora immerses guests in an "intimate fine-dining experience composed in a contemporary culinary style. Presented and prepared with award-winning skill and finesse, the culinary journey through the Eastern Mediterranean offers unique interpretations of classic dishes. Drawing inspiration from Ammoora's family roots, the Syrian-focused authentically modern menu evokes a sensory experience, enhanced by soft, yet lively oriental music and an alluring ambience."
• Bygone in Baltimore, which OpenTable describes as "a fusion of the old, the new and the best of Baltimore." An American gastro bistro, Bygone represents "historic, vibrant, authentic Baltimore. We blend modern energy with a classic feel, celebrating luxury, excitement and an elevated dining experience."

OpenTable said hotel restaurants have become increasingly important in travelers' decisions about where to vacation.

According to a survey commissioned by the reservation platform, 61 percent of Americans have chosen a destination because of its food or restaurant scene, while 60 percent of people planning summer travel said they've booked a hotel specifically because of its restaurant.

The company also found that dining by travelers at hotel restaurants has increased 13 percent year over year, while overall hotel restaurant dining is up 7 percent. Meanwhile, 92 percent of respondents said they have eaten at a hotel restaurant without staying at the hotel, underscoring how many have become destinations for locals as well as visitors.

The rankings were compiled using verified OpenTable diner reviews and ratings, with restaurants evaluated on overall guest satisfaction and the percentage of five-star reviews.
