Hotel Dining Steps Into The Spotlight: OpenTable and KAYAK Debut The Top 50 Hotel Restaurants in Canada

TORONTO, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hotel restaurants are experiencing a revival among diners, evolving from convenient and comfortable options to refined dining destinations, as 61 per cent of Canadians believe hotels have gotten better restaurant offerings in recent years. 1 Canadian search data also shows the use of KAYAK's 'restaurant' hotel filter almost doubled within a year (+99%), highlighting how travel and dining are becoming increasingly connected. 3 To help diners and travellers find their ideal dining destination, OpenTable and KAYAK have joined forces to launch the Top 50 Hotel Restaurants across Canada in 2025. 4 The list is compiled by reviewing restaurants located in hotels and analyzing more than 1 million diner reviews and dining metrics, including diner ratings, reservation demand, among other factors. 'As hotel dining enters a new age with nearly two thirds (61%) of hotel restaurant diners being locals, 2 it's a chance to win over locals looking to dine out, not just overnight guests,' said Matt Davis, Senior Country Director, OpenTable Canada. 'For travellers and locals alike, our new Top 50 Hotel Restaurants list offers great inspiration for elevated meals in standout spots across the country, from Akira Back in Toronto's Bisha Hotel to The Courtney Room in the Magnolia Hotel in Victoria.' 'Travellers aren't just asking 'Where should I go?'—they're asking 'What's on the menu when I get there?'' said Kate Williams, Chief Communications Officer at KAYAK. 'Great dining experiences are an essential part of today's travel itineraries and hotels are rising to the occasion.' New research shows: For travellers hungry for more than just a place to stay, the top hotel restaurants offer innovative menus, top-notch service, and stylish interiors.
