Dining
On-site restaurants
Laurel Court Restaurant & Bar
Serving as the hotel's centerpiece under soaring domed ceilings and ornate columns, Laurel Court offers a menu rooted in local and seasonal ingredients. The culinary team focuses on traditional cold-curing techniques for in-house charcuterie and modern coastal flavors. It is also the dedicated venue for the hotel's famous Afternoon Tea, featuring house-made scones, finger sandwiches, and private-label loose-leaf teas.
Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar
A world-famous destination since 1945, the Tonga Room features a tropical atmosphere complete with a central "lagoon," indoor rainstorms, and live music performed on a floating thatch-roofed boat. The kitchen serves exceptional Pacific Rim Asian cuisine, while the Hurricane Bar is celebrated for its legendary Mai Tais and Polynesian-inspired cocktails.
In-Room Dining
The in-room dining program allows guests to experience the hotel's refined culinary standards within the privacy of their rooms or suites. The menu spans from traditional American breakfast sets to late-night gourmet snacks, emphasizing the same fresh, regional produce found in the hotel's main dining rooms.
Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel needs to increase staffing at reception to reduce extreme wait times and implement better crowd management in the lobby to ensure paying guests can access services during high-traffic holiday periods.
- —Management must address "dated" room features by updating old mattresses, pillows, and worn fabrics, while enforcing stricter cleaning protocols to eliminate dust, trash in hallways, and stained linens.
- —The property should provide clearer explanations for mandatory "urban benefit fees," include modern essentials like Wi-Fi in the base rate, and ensure that on-site dining quality and staff professionalism match the premium five-star pricing.

How we choose
Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
