OpenTable: why UK Hotel Restaurants Are the New Culinary Hotspots
"Hotel restaurants are experiencing a true renaissance - these venues are no longer just convenient, they're coveted," said . "With 72% of Brits willing to rebook a hotel based on a positive dining experience at its restaurant,** it's clear that the dining spot can be just as powerful a draw as the room. For hotels, it's a chance to win over locals, not just overnight guests. For diners, whether they're travelling or simply looking for an exceptional meal, our new Top 50 list brings together the best of both worlds."
"People are becoming more intentional about how they spend — and where they stay. We're seeing more people combine the destination, the accommodation, and the experience into one choice - with the restaurant at the centre. For many, booking a hotel now means booking the best table in town too." says "If you're craving a hotel with great food or just chasing the next Instagram-worthy meal, KAYAK makes it easy."
