9 Hotels Where Food Takes Center Stage

9 hotel restaurants are becoming more of a draw than the hotels themselves. Some of these restaurants reflect the history of the building, the city in which they are located, or the culture of the area. They are the Tre Rivali, Sixteen, The Nomad, Herons, La Toque, The Lafayette, 1858, Empire Steak House & Lounge, and The Guild house.

Key Takeaways:

• Taking its name from the Gold Rush era, 1858 sits in the shadow of what may be America’s most famous mountain peak—Pike’s Peak—and at the base of Cheyenne Canyon, where diners can gaze out at steep granite walls and a 181-foot waterfall characterizing Colorado’s natural beauty.
• Meat and produce are sourced from local farmers and ranchers, while many dishes feature French, German, and Creole touches in a nod to the early East Coast miners who ventured to the area more than 150 years ago in search of their fortunes.
• Located blocks from Rockefeller Center, the boutique Kimberly hotel evokes the golden age of nostalgic New York City, while its restaurant, the recently launched Empire Steak House & Lounge, captures the essence of its previous life as a 1920s-era opera house.

“Located in the Short North Arts District of Ohio’s capital city, The Guild House bills itself as an artisan eatery, something accomplished with creative American cuisine artistically crafted from seasonal offerings, both regional and global, and a custom gin blend from Columbus’ own Watershed Distillery.”
