Travel website TripAdvisor has carried out a wellness survey on US travellers and unveiled the 10 most highly rated hotel spas in the US.

The top 10 spa hotels list, which was compiled from TripAdvisor traveller reviews and opinions, features a quartet of Four Seasons Resorts – one each in Colorado and Hawaii and two in California.

The Canyon Ranch Hotel & Spa Miami Beach and Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago also made the top 10.

The survey, which was carried out on 1,100 US travellers, also found that 30 per cent of travellers plan to take a trip dedicated to rejuvenating their body, mind or spirit in early 2013.

Of those travelling, 49 per cent will stay in hotels.

Brooke Ferencsik, director of communications at TripAdvisor said: "Our survey shows that for nearly a third of travellers, the beginning of a new year is a chance to recharge their batteries with a rejuvenation trip.

"With a hotel being the most popular destination for these trips, we're delighted to announce the most highly rated hotel spas in the U.S."
