Where the Restaurant Is Worth the Journey
Sometimes the restaurant is every bit as important as the room—perhaps even more so. Foodies brings together hotels with Michelin-starred restaurants, Gault & Millau toques and destination kitchens, alongside exciting new ventures from chefs who have already made their name elsewhere.

Staying the night is the very welcome bonus.
