Most hotel restaurants are built for tourists, but these restaurants are hidden gems even the city’s residents want to dine at. Whether in locations known for culinary scenes or in an up-and-coming foodie destination, here are three hotel restaurants you won’t want to miss:

Tambourine Room | Miami, Florida

Originally opened in 1958 as a popular spot for cocktails, Tambourine Room by Tristan Brandt has been reimagined as an 18-seat, fine-dining experience located in Carillon Miami Wellness Resort. Guests and locals can find the restaurant through a humble door in the main lobby. This large-windowed, beach-facing jewel was awarded a Michelin star in 2023 for serving three- and six-course tasting menus with French cuisine plates honoring seasonal, local ingredients in a rotating menu.

Bellini | Providence, Rhode Island

Located within downtown’s luxury boutique hotel The Beatrice, Bellini offers authentic Italian cuisine with a contemporary flare in a city rich with history. Founded by Ignazio Cipriani, a descendent of the inventor of the Bellini cocktail himself, Giuseppe Cipriani, the world-class restaurant offers a seasonally inspired menu. A trip to Bellini wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Bellini Rooftop, an exclusive club open to members and guests of The Beatrice. Enjoy a glass of the bar’s namesake, the Bellini cocktail, while taking in the views of the city.

Departure | Portland, Oregon

Within Nines Hotel, guests can indulge in the taste of Pan-Asian cuisine at the recently renovated rooftop restaurant, Departure. Take the experience to the next level and embark on a culinary voyage like no other with the restaurant’s Departure Experience, featuring seasonally inspired dishes thoughtfully presented year-round. Take in stunning views of the Portland skyline and the Cascade Mountains while enjoying a delicious meal.

Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime

At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.

Hotel Nice Beau Rivage Review

In the city Henri Matisse once called home — and where Musée Matisse holds his largest collection — Hotel Beau Rivage has a special connection with the artist, who first visited the hotel in 1916 and painted famous sea views from his room 89 in 1917. Today, framed Matisse prints — many brightly colored cut-out collages from the artist’s JAZZ collection — decorate its walls. Hotel guests also benefit from a partnership with the museum.
