The Best Hotel Food & Drink

The Best Hotel Food & Drink

Last Updated: November 27, 2019 by Lee Roane | Lodging, Food & Drink


Some of my favorite restaurants and bars are located in hotels.

When I have company in town, I always try to make it to the The Rooftop Bar at The Tremont House for a cocktail so my guests can take in the panoramic views of downtown and the harbor.  When celebrating something special, a meal at The Steakhouse always offers and extraordinary experience.  The Sunday brunch at Hotel Galvez is a spectacle.  Lunch at The Tremont Cafe always satisfies.  The pizza crust at Grotto is addicting.

Let me explain…

Places to Drink

Toujouse Bar at The Tremont House

1888 Toujouse Bar

The magnificent rosewood bar in the atrium of The Tremont House has seen many cocktails served over the years. Every Friday and Saturday, from 6 to 10pm, enjoy live jazz by Trio du Jour. The Tremont House launched its Jazz Series in late September 2013 and it has become hugely popular with locals and guests. Trio du Jour plays classic, acoustic jazz.

San Luis Bar

Inspired by classic Southern Italian cooking, Grotto features delicious veal, chicken, seafood and house made pastas. Grotto's food and warm décor are complimented by pool and beachside views. Wine connoisseurs will be impressed with the extensive collection of Italian and domestic selections.

The Tremont Cafe

The Tremont Cafe

The Tremont Café offers a bistro-style menu with pastries, pizza, gourmet sandwiches, entrees, salads, soups, and desserts. As it's close to my office, I eat lunch there often. My favorite is to split a Cranberry Spinach Salad and Pesto Chicken Flat Bread with my dining companion.
