Best luxury hotels for food lovers

Plenty of luxury hotels lose the plot at dinner: most great rooms sit above a forgettable restaurant, the kind you eat at once and then book elsewhere. At these, the kitchen is a reason to stay, and the food holds up as well as the room.

What fat travellers ask about food hotels

What makes a great hotel for food lovers?

Food that holds its own: breakfast worth waking up for, a restaurant locals book, and room service that isn’t an apology.

Why is hotel dining usually the weak spot?

A beautiful room is easier to deliver than a kitchen that performs night after night, so most luxury hotels coast on the setting and let the restaurant slide.

How many food hotels does Fat Voyage cover?

Right now, 95 hotels in the collection carry the food tag, led by Singita Kwitonda Lodge with a dining score of 18.5/20.
