It’s no secret that we like trying new food almost as much as we adore exploring luxury hotels around the world, but we’re absolutely crazy for properties that do gorgeous décor and delectable dining with the same fervor. Here are seven luxe spots offering culinary promotions special enough for a trip:
Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo
While the lovely 17-acre grounds filled with gardens are much of the reason guests frequent this Tokyo hotel located outside the main business district, the plethora of eating options is certainly a draw, too.
The Bistro, one of the nine on-site eateries, is offering a special four-course dinner featuring three of the finest delicacies in the culinary world — truffles, caviar and foie gras. Available at lunch and dinner through February 26, the menu also includes marinated scallops and shrimp with camellia oil flakes and caviar, and French broiler and foie gras pot-au-feu with truffle oil.

Four Seasons Hotel Denver
The name says it all: The Wine, Dine and Unwind: Date Night at Four Seasons package is about eating, drinking and relaxing with your sweetheart. The sumptuous deal includes a $150 credit for food and drinks at Edge Restaurant & Bar, a chic Colorado steakhouse that serves meats and sides sourced from local farms and ranches.
The bar is also a standout with a global tapas menu and an impressive array of microbrews. Best of all? With the promotion at this Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star resort, you’ll get the ultimate luxury of breakfast in bed the next morning, too.
Twelve at Hengshan, A Luxury Collection Hotel
It may have a Cupid theme, but make no mistake about it, the Love Memory Valentine’s Day offer at the Shanghai hotel is all about food.
Couples who book the package should have forks ready for a dinner at Tops & Terrace, where you can sample the global-inspired à la carte menu (sit at one of the six alfresco rooftop gazebos for privacy and views), a buffet breakfast, in-room fruit and chocolate treats. The special also includes late checkout and access to the sky-lit pool.
The Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Financial Street
The Bed & Breakfast package offered at this sleek hotel shouldn’t require too much thought — unless you tend to eschew delectable foods and coffee in the morning.
In addition to a glorious overnight stay, you get breakfast in the Four-Star Beijing business district hotel’s Greenfish restaurant, a stunning space with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows.
As for the food, expect a full list of à la carte international foods, ranging from steamed dim sum and grilled salmon with crispy skin to Belgian waffles and steak and eggs.
Prince de Galles, A Luxury Collection Hotel
Get a comprehensive taste of chef Stéphanie Le Quellec’s cuisine when you book the Epicurean Package at this Art Deco beauty in Paris’ 8th arrondissement.

Le Quellec is highly admired as a rising talent here, and with this special, you can sample her work throughout your stay — daily breakfast, a unique tasting menu at the acclaimed La Scène restaurant and a wine-and-cheese pairing lesson. The proverbial cherry on top: special welcome amenities and a 4 p.m. checkout time.
The Tokyo Station Hotel
One of the most iconic hotels in all of Japan, this 100-year-old grand dame is actually housed in Tokyo Station, a bustling railroad station that opened in 1914.
Overnight guests have the exclusive luxury of taking breakfast in The Atrium lounge, an airy spot with vaulted ceilings and a large skylight. Book the Breakfast Package to ensure you’ll get a taste of the 70-plus food items available in the morning — they range from Japanese specialties to other international treats.
Hotel Okura Macau
Expect a taste of Japanese hospitality and cuisine at the Four-Star Macau outpost of this high-end Japanese hotel brand. Hotel Okura has a slew of culinary specials to indulge in, from Chinese New Year’s dim sum to high tea in the lovely lobby. But right now, we’re excited about the Valentine’s Day dinner at the hotel’s fine-dining spot, Yamazato. The meal includes fresh sashimi and seafood.
Also tempting at the property: The Hot Chocolate Milk Set, a delectable snack available in the Nagomi Lobby Bar & Lounge. Cozy up in the serene space with some cocoa, specialty marshmallows, brownie cakes and light, luscious macarons.
