In the AC Lounge, European-driven breakfast offerings land with intention, pairing Spanish-influenced touches with California restraint. Cheeses, pastries, egg dishes, and seasonal fruit are laid out with gallery-like precision, echoing the hotel’s art-forward interiors. As the space shifts later in the day, tapas-style plates, composed toasts, and salads encourage unhurried dining, matched easily with wine or a cocktail mixed to stay out of the spotlight. Nava Rooftop Bar & Lounge reframes Mediterranean small plates through a distinctly Los Angeles lens. Dishes arrive built for sharing, set against a skyline that pulls in Miracle Mile, the Hollywood Hills, and the movement below. | | | | |  | | Omni La Mansión del Rio | | San Antonio, Texas | | Set on San Antonio’s scenic River Walk, dining at Omni La Mansión del Rio is as much about the setting as the flavors. Executive Chef Robert Cantu, a hometown talent with decades of culinary accolades, oversees an impressive roster of venues. Four Brothers takes a confident approach to Southern and South Texas fare, weaving in Latin and French influences. Savor Texas Wagyu Carpaccio with corn ribs and cotija, or go bold with Chicken-Fried Venison over pommes purée and braised red cabbage. Steps from the lobby, El Colegio Bar nods to its former life as a law school library, pouring Texas-crafted spirits, local beers, and wines alongside shrimp tacos, smash burgers, and Cajun-spiced wings in a prohibition-era backdrop. Poolside, sun and shade mingle over margaritas from the seasonal bar, while just across the river, Ostra delivers a AAA Four Diamond seafood spread, from ceviche to an acclaimed oyster bar, all paired with an award-winning wine list and the hum of the river drifting past. | | | | | | The Joule Dallas | | Dallas, Texas | | This lively boutique hotel may boast iconic interior design, 160 stunning rooms, and a Forbes Four-Star spa, but the real draw is the dining. The Joule has firmly staked its claim as one of Dallas’ top culinary destinations, with several beloved names under its Neo-Gothic roof. Named for the Central Business District the hotel calls home, CBD Provisions is a modern Texan brasserie with a hint of French sophistication and big, Texas-style flavor — try the famous pig’s head carnitas, served with all the fixings you need to make truly tasty tacos. If you’re feeling more Tuscan trattoria, Sassetta offers seasonally focused Italian dining with house-made pasta and pizzas, perfect for pairing with a glass of wine for a long dinner or a quick aperitivo. After dinner, head downstairs to Midnight Rambler, a swanky subterranean bar with creative cocktails from award-winning bartender Gabe Sanchez and live DJs to close out the night in Dallas. | | | | | | Hotel Leo | | Bellingham, Washington | | Hotel Leo makes a fitting home base for eating and drinking through downtown Bellingham. Start at Amendment 21, the hotel’s intimate bar built into the building’s past — the original Leopold Hotel reportedly poured Bellingham’s first legal post-Prohibition cocktail here. Order the huckleberry-and-chamomile Meadow Lane, made with the bar’s own tonic and infusions. Dinner moves from roasted local mushrooms and seafood tempura to grilled local salmon with Arborio rice, spinach, pickled beets, and herb oil, paired with a wine list drawing from Washington’s Columbia Valley and Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Archival photographs sourced from the Whatcom Museum line the walls, casting the space as a living scrapbook of the city’s artisnal history. | | | | | | Food & Wine is part of the People Inc. publishing family. | | | | |
