Travel + Leisure today announced the best travel destinations and organizations across the globe, based on the results of its 2025 World’s Best Awards readers’ survey — and the Holy City once again had a stellar showing.

However, the big surprise was that, for the first time in more than a decade, Charleston was NOT named the Best City in the United States. The Holy City, which held the top spot for the past 12 years, placed third behind Santa Fe, New Mexico, and New Orleans, Louisiana. Meanwhile, Greenville, South Carolina, placed seventh.

In addition to being named the country’s third-best city, Charleston was also recognized in the following categories:

• No. 7 Best Island in the United States – Kiawah Island
• No. 3 Best Continental U.S. City Hotel – Wentworth Mansion
• No. 9 Best Continental U.S. City Hotel – John Rutledge House Inn
