Gourmet Getaways: The Best UK Hotels for Foodies from Travel Intelligence

the olde bell

Gone are the days when UK luxury hotels were laughed at for their offerings of over boiled vegetables and leather-like roast beef. In the past decade or so, the hotel industry has undergone something of a revolution, with Michelin-starred restaurants and organically-grown produce now as regular a feature as terrycloth bathrobes.

You can find excellent UK hotels for foodies in both city and countryside. From the minimalist and Michelin-starred charms of Nahm in London's Metropolitan to a kitchen in Berkshire headed by Guardian food writer Rosie Sykes (that'd be The Olde Bell) wherever you're headed, we've got a great gourmet-friendly luxury hotel to recommend.
