10 London hotels with Michelin-star restaurants
These 10 restaurants in London hotels have won Michelin stars, adding a ready customer base for chefs and prestige for the hotel itself.
With the Michelin Guide announcing its new award for hotels, the Michelin key, it's time to pose the question – what makes an ideal hotel experience? Impeccable service, great amenities and a relaxing atmosphere are all must-haves, but while some hotels regard food as a second thought, with basic continental breakfasts and hotel-room coffee, others are striving to use food and dining to attract visitors beyond the bookings.
A hotel restaurant can introduce London's ever-evolving and diverse food scene to guests in the comfort of their temporary home. If it can successfully capture its city's culture through quality cuisine, then it's connected even deeper with its guests while they take advantage of all the property offers.
And if a hotel and its restaurant entices guests to stick around longer, then it's done its job. These hotels and their accompanying Michelin-starred restaurants have properly nailed this task.
