Here are some of the best hotel breakfasts we ate this year.
At the top of our list is the stunning breakfast spread at The Savoy in London. Known for its opulent dining room, guests can enjoy a traditional English breakfast with a modern twist, featuring house-cured salmon, freshly baked pastries, and organic eggs prepared to your preference.
Over in Paris, Le Meurice offers a quintessentially French experience with its petit-déjeuner. Patrons are treated to an assortment of freshly baked croissants, artisanal cheeses and charcuterie, and an exquisite selection of jams and honeys from local producers.
Heading east to Tokyo, the Park Hyatt’s morning offering is a blend of Japanese and Western cuisines. Their buffet includes an array of sushi and sashimi, miso soup with accompaniments, as well as pancakes and bacon for those looking for something more familiar.
In New York City, The Plaza Hotel’s breakfast does not disappoint. It features a menu filled with American classics such as fluffy buttermilk pancakes and eggs Benedict but stands out with its signature offering: lobster hash served with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.
Lastly, for those who prefer a beachside setting, The St. Regis Bali Resort presents a tropical feast for breakfast. Guests can enjoy exotic fruits like dragon fruit and rambutan, Balinese cakes and pastries, along with made-to-order omelets that overlook the serene Indian Ocean.
While each experience is unique in its own right, what these hotels all have in common is their commitment to quality ingredients, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that turns simple meals into memorable dining experiences. It’s evident that hotels around the globe are recognizing that a great day begins with a great breakfast.
