These Are the Winners of the 2024 Sunset Travel Awards
Hot hotels, new and classic restaurants, and the top destinations and activities from the desert to the coast—these are the 125 best ways to experience the West now.
Every time we sit down to judge the annual travel awards, we realize how spoiled for choice we are in the West. We truly have it all: the grandeur of our parks, national and otherwise; the charm of small towns and thrills of big cities; thousands of wineries; luxury resorts and retro motels; spas and kayaking excursions and museums and so much more. There are literally thousands of thrilling choices for the Western traveler looking for a hotel to stay in, a meal to eat, an activity to pursue, or a method of transportation to get there in the first place.
This year we had yet another record-breaking number of entrants of the highest level, and picking just 125 winners proved to be a daunting honor. See below for the winners!
