This Week's Hotel Picks |  | | Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort | | Hilton Head, SC | | A beachfront retreat on South Carolina's most beloved island, Omni Hilton Head Resort & Spa offers an unforgettable stay with exceptional epicurean experiences. A variety of onsite outlets cater to every palate and occasion. Celebrating a big day or simply craving an elevated meal? Head to HH Prime, the resort's signature restaurant, serving prime cuts of meat and fresh seafood in an upscale setting. Live music on select evenings and decadent desserts like honey-orange crème brûlée and pistachio lemon cake make it a top choice for special occasions. For a more casual, beachy vibe, Palmetto Market offers all-day café-style dining with grab-and-go options and healthy fare. Start your morning with a cup of Stance Coffee and a croissant before hitting the beach, then return in the afternoon for lunch options like a curry chicken wrap or quinoa grain bowl. Sip a tropical cocktail from the beachside bar Breeze or poolside Buoy Bar, and in the evenings, unwind at XO Sports & Spirits, a newly renovated lounge serving game-time eats and craft beers. Plus, don't miss out on the resort's ongoing chef-led culinary experiences. | | | | |  | | The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa | | Houston, TX | | Voted Travel + Leisure's #1 Resort in Texas, The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa doesn't just serve food—it moves to a culinary rhythm set across its 27-acre estate. The day often kicks off in the Great Room Coffee Shop for premium espressos and cappuccinos. Things shift by late afternoon to The Bar & Patio, where the drinks list reads like a masterclass in Texas refinement: rare spirits, south-of-the-border staples, and signatures like KT's Steak Frites, a hanger steak tribute with peppercorn sauce and proper fries. Then there's TRIBUTE—Executive Chef Gonzalo Campos' ode to Gulf Coast roots and Houston's cultural palate. Call it Tex-Lex, if you must. Dishes like Gulf seafood Papilloté and Grouper al Pastor hold their own in a dining room that blends polish with personality. For four-seat flex and 4,000 bottles at 57 degrees, the private Wine Room makes its own kind of statement—no stagecraft, just a sommelier, UGG blankets, and serious food. Capping it all off with something sweet? The Houstonian Pastry Shoppe handles desserts and confections with purpose, made from scratch and worthy of a detour. | | | | |  | | Virgin Hotels New York | | New York, NY | | When planning a trip to NYC, a city with endless possibilities, you don't want to miss a beat. That's why staying somewhere that has it all is key. At Virgin Hotels New York, you can rest easy (literally—the beds here are patently plush) knowing you're in a place that's in tune with the city's vibrant energy. Located in the trendy NoMad area, you're in the heart of the action and just south of the Empire State Building—the perfect backdrop for a photo at the hotel's fourth-floor rooftop pool. Stretch out on a lounger or in a private cabana, sipping seasonal cocktails 60 feet above Broadway. Fuel up with breakfast at Everdene, the hotel's third-floor dining spot, before setting out to explore the city. Skip the NYC lines and impossible reservations and head back to the hotel for a buzzy happy hour or a delectable dinner. Three distinct spaces—a lively dining room, a cozy library, and an al fresco terrace—set the scene, with live music enhancing your experience from Thursday to Saturday. | | | | |  | | Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba | | Palm Beach, Aruba | | This tucked-away boutique hotel in Aruba's Palm Beach isn't just for beach lovers. It's also a delicious base for exploring the island's local flavors. Most mornings start al fresco at The Coco Café, with egg omelets, açaí bowls, fresh juices, and smoothies, though you can opt for a multi-tiered breakfast tower delivered to your patio or, if you're staying in the plunge pool casita, as a floating breakfast served right in your private pool. For lunch and dinner, The Coco Café leans into Aruba's laid-back, health-forward sensibility with a vegan-friendly menu crafted from locally sourced ingredients, including some grown on-site. Each casita comes with a kitchenette and private grill, perfect for a DIY dinner with a grocery haul or a ready-to-go grill kit from the front desk. Want to explore? The personal concierge will happily point you towards their handpicked favorite nearby restaurants. And for something unforgettable, ask about the marine-to-table dinner with local forager and chef Frank "Taki" Kelly, who'll prepare a private feast at your casita using ingredients you source together that day. | | | | |  | | The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa | | Las Vegas, NV | | Las Vegas is a place that's all about indulgence, from the casinos to the culinary scene, but The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa is doing Sin City a little differently. Located off the Strip, this stay allows you to experience all the bright lights and best moments of Vegas… and then leave it behind and retreat to this peaceful hotel. You'll find no casino here; instead, there's a spa and a rooftop pool perfect for chilling out. For foodies in the city, there's plenty to taste—from celeb-chef standbys like Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen to camp classics like the Heart Attack Grill. If you grow tired of decadence, though, back at the hotel, you'll find a welcome foil to the likes of José Andrés' cotton candy foie gras, with healthy and hearty options at The Good Plate. The restaurant serves up salads and bowls for days when you need a refresh, while still offering classics like filet mignon, five-layer chocolate cake, and signature cocktails for when more is more. | | | | | | Food & Wine is part of the People Inc. publishing family. | | | | |
