U.S. News and World Report has named Naples the best place to live in the United States. It comes as no surprise to those who live here or have visited in the past. Now that it is official, it is a great time to explore why this city on the west coast of Florida has taken the top spot on the list while also enjoying the best hotel in the state.


Throughout the state of Florida, more than a dozen cities made the list of top places to live, but Naples topped them all. The next closest was Sarasota in 11th. U.S. News and World Report bases its ranking on the factors people find important when choosing a place to live. They include, in order of importance, the quality of life, affordability of living, the job market, and the desirability of that city.


Naples checks many of these boxes. From the pristine white sand beaches to the arts, entertainment, and shopping found downtown,

there are many ways to enjoy your time here as a resident or a visitor. The inviting tropical weather is a bonus. This combination makes the city an incredibly desirable place to live, retire, and vacation.


Visiting the best place to live in the country wouldn’t be complete without staying in the #1 hotel in Florida, as awarded by Tripadvisor. At the Inn at Pelican Bay, you can experience the best of Naples from a convenient and relaxing location just minutes from the beach. We even offer a complimentary beach shuttle to get you there with ease.
