Hotel restaurants are no longer just convenient pit stops for weary travelers—they’ve become destinations in their own right. New insights from OpenTable and Kayak cement a growing cultural shift: travelers are choosing where to go and stay based on what they want to eat. Nearly half of Americans (47 percent) say they have specifically booked a trip to visit a restaurant and Kayak data shows a 51 percent year-over-year increase in the use of KAYAK’s “restaurant” hotel filter, highlighting how travel and dining are becoming increasingly connected.
To help diners and travelers find their ideal dining destination, the brands joined forces to unveil their first-ever list of the Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in America, based on diner insights. From James Beard Award winners such as Chef Greg Vernick of Vernick Fish, to Michelin-starred restaurants such as Addison by William Bradley and neighborhood gems like The Lawn Terrace at Castle Hill, the list spotlights hotel dining experiences that influence how, and why, Americans travel.
“Hotel restaurants have become formidable players over the years as hoteliers have recognized the power of serving their guests memorable and locally-inspired dining experiences,” Scott Hudson, VP of global sales and services at OpenTable, said in a statement. “The hotel restaurants we have on OpenTable are not just attractive to the 60 percent of diners that use us while on the road—but many are equally as popular among locals too.”
Alongside the list, new research shows:
- Meals > Monuments – Forty-five percent of Americans admit to posting more about meals than sights on their trip.
- Booked the Room, Hooked by the Menu – Seventy-three percent would return to the same hotel because of a positive on-site dining experience.
- Eat Where You Sleep – Thirty-eight percent have booked a stay in a hotel because of its restaurant.
“Recently, hotel owners have seen the value in not only having restaurants as an amenity for their guests, but also in being a culinary destination for locals and even travelers staying elsewhere,” said chef Stephanie Izard, Cabra Chicago, Boka Restaurant Group. “Travelers have so many options of places to stay, culinary offerings are a big part of making that choice.”
For travelers hungry for more than just a place to stay, these hotel restaurants offer innovative menus, top-notch service, and stylish interiors. To explore hotel room rates, average flight prices, and more, explore OpenTable & KAYAK’s top hotel restaurant hub.
