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

    Food & Wine Global Tastemakers 2026 ranked global hotels for food and drink.

    Which hotels are ranked on this list?

    Capella Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand
    #1

    Capella Bangkok

    Bangkok, Thailand

    Hotel

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

    Orient Express La Minerva, Rome, Italy
    #2

    Orient Express La Minerva

    Rome, Italy

    Hotel

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

    Babylonstoren, Paarl, South Africa
    #3

    Babylonstoren

    Paarl, South Africa

    Hotel

    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, Modena, Italy
    #4

    Casa Maria Luigia

    Modena, Italy

    Hotel

    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, Tokyo, Japan
    #5

    Aman Tokyo

    Tokyo, Japan

    Hotel

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

    Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, Venice, Venice, Italy
    #6

    Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, Venice

    Venice, Italy

    Hotel

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

    Aliée Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey
    #7

    Aliée Istanbul

    Istanbul, Turkey

    Hotel

    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, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
    #8

    Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

    Hong Kong, Hong Kong

    Hotel

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

    Atlantis The Royal, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
    #9

    Atlantis The Royal

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    Hotel

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

    The Grand National Hotel by Saint Peter, Sydney, Australia
    #10

    The Grand National Hotel by Saint Peter

    Sydney, Australia

    Hotel

    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.
