Amelia Island received three distinctions from Condé Nast Traveler in the magazine's 2008 Reader's Choice Awards. The Elizabeth Pointe Lodge was named the second-best hotel in the United States, just behind the Peninsula in Chicago; the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island was named the 15th-best U.S. mainland resort; and the island itself was ranked sixth on the magazine's list of best North American islands.
Results were based off of a survey of more than 32,000 readers and will be published in the November issue of Condé Nast Traveler, on newsstands today.
