Gastronomy influences more and more choice of hotels

10 August 2026

Gastronomy is taking on an increasingly important role in the choice of hotels and tourist destinations. According to a study commissioned by OpenTable, 32% of Germans have already booked a hotel specifically for its restaurant and 42% have chosen a destination for the gastronomic offer. In addition, hotel restaurants are attracting more and more local customers: 90% of respondents say they have already visited a hotel restaurant without staying there, reflecting the growing appreciation of the gastronomic experience as an integral part of the trip.
