2026 Food & Wine Top 10 Global Hotels for Food and Drink

Capella Bangkok is a hotel on Charoen Krung Road in Bangkok.

Orient Express La Minerva is a hotel on Piazza della Minerva in Rome.

Should you book Babylonstoren? Yes, if you want a Paarl estate stay where food, gardens, space, and downtime matter as much as the room. It is a strong family and celebration choice, with major hotel recognition including Food & Wine Top 10 Global Hotels for Food and Drink #3 (2026), La Liste Top Hotels 93pts (2026), and MICHELIN Guide Hotels Selected (2025).

Casa Maria Luigia is the Modena splurge for a food-led celebration, not the default choice for city-center convenience. Its Michelin 3 Keys and major hotel-list recognition justify considering it when the stay itself is the occasion, but travelers prioritizing walkability should compare central options like Hotel Cervetta 5 or Hotel Rua Frati 48 in San Francesco.

Aman Tokyo is a hotel in Otemachi Tower whose design draws on Japanese traditions.

Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, Venice is a hotel on Giudecca in Venice.

A strong Istanbul pick for travelers who want the hotel to shape the trip, not just support it. Aliée Istanbul is especially compelling for food-and-drink-focused stays, backed by a Michelin 1 Key and major 2026 hotel recognition, but it suits planners better than last-minute bookers.

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong is a hotel on Connaught Road in Central.

Atlantis The Royal is a beach resort on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.

A strong choice for a food-led Sydney stay in Paddington, especially if the restaurant credibility is part of the reason for booking. The property suits couples and solo travellers who want neighbourhood character; families or loyalty-program maximisers should compare larger Sydney options first.
