We know you like to hit up the best restaurants in town, with each and every meal carefully curated for your trip. But, sometimes staying in for room service is just as compelling, as these hotels make it worth your while. From gold-dusted burgers to breakfast trays that rival sculpture, these hotels take luxury and opulence to dizzying extremes.

The Silo

Location: Cape Town, South Africa
What to Order: Tiered Breakfast Tray

The Silo Hotel in Cape Town is a design-forward sanctuary, where every window frames Table Mountain, and breakfast is a visual feast. Rising above Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, The Silo Hotel occupies the top six floors of the historic grain elevator. Founder, Liz Biden, has transformed the interior into something special. The space is layered with bold colors, plush textures, and contemporary African art.

But what it’s really about is the in-room breakfast, with theatrical flair. Guests receive a tiered tray presentation. It’s a multi-level arrangement of local pastries, cheeses, seasonal fruits, and rooibos-poached pears. Naturally, everything is accompanied by fresh juices and artisanal coffee. The quality is exceptional, and the styling is deliberate: each tray is arranged like a still life, with ingredients sourced from nearby farms and markets. With Table Mountain rising in the background and the Atlantic glinting below, it’s a morning ritual that feels like a private exhibition.

Breakfast is available daily from 7:00 to 11:00, and the Royal Tea service — a Cape Town twist on high tea — can also be delivered to your suite.

The Plaza

Location: New York City, USA
What to Order: $1,000 Grand Opulence Sundae 

Obviously, The Plaza Hotel in New York City is a Beaux-Arts icon. We don’t even need to get in to why The Plaza is on this list. But we sure are going to. For starters, on the Room Service menu, you can order the $1,000 Grand Opulence Sundae.

Since 1907 (on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South), the Plaza’s gilded interiors have hosted everyone from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Beyoncé. The building’s French Renaissance architecture, sweeping marble staircases, and crystal chandeliers evoke old-world grandeur. It’s a kind of elegance that’s rare even in Manhattan.

Naturally, room service here is as theatrical as the setting. The most famous offering, the aforementioned Sundae, is a $1,000 dessert that must be ordered 48 hours in advance. It features three scoops of Tahitian vanilla ice cream covered in 23-karat gold leaf. It’s served with rare Venezuelan chocolate, candied fruits from Paris, and a handcrafted sugar orchid that takes eight hours to make.The sundae arrives in a $350 Baccarat crystal goblet, accompanied by an 18-karat gold spoon.

Beyond the sundae, The Plaza’s in-room dining menu includes classic French-American fare, Champagne pairings, and seasonal specials. Guests staying in the Legacy Suites or the Royal Plaza Suite can request personalized menus. They can also request private chefs and even tableside service. The hotel’s culinary team works closely with guests to tailor each experience – whether it’s breakfast in bed or a midnight caviar tasting.

Four Seasons Chicago

Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA
What to Order: All-You-Can-Eat Sundae Bar (not only for kids)

The Four Seasons Chicago is a sky-high sanctuary, where room service caters to every age — from truffle mac and cheese to gummy bear sundaes.

Perched above the Magnificent Mile, this hotel offers Midwestern warmth with classic luxury. The hotel’s 32nd floor offers sweeping views of Lake Michigan and the city skyline. Its suites are designed with elegance – think marble bathrooms, plush bedding, and curated artwork. Now, let’s talk culinary offerings.

For younger guests, the hotel offers a dedicated Kids’ Room experience that includes an all-you-can-eat sundae bar delivered straight to the suite. It’s a technicolor spread of toppings, sauces, and scoops. Rainbow sprinkles, hot fudge, gummy bears, and whipped cream – all arranged with playful precision. It’s a sugar-fueled celebration that turns dessert into an event, and gives families a reason to stay in and indulge.

But, rest assured, room service for adults is equally thoughtful. Breakfast includes lemon-ricotta pancakes, avocado toast with poached eggs, or a smoked salmon platter with capers and crème fraîche. Lunch and dinner menus feature elevated comfort food – truffle mac and cheese, dry-aged steaks, and seasonal salads. Each dish is delivered with the visual flair Four Seasons is known for. Guests can also request wine pairings, late-night snacks, or personalized menus for special occasions.

Four Seasons Hotel George V

Location: Paris, France
What to Order: Michelin-Starred Tasting Menu

Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris is a palace hotel in every sense – with Michelin-starred room service and Eiffel Tower views.

Located just off the Champs-Élysées, the George V is an Art Deco landmark built in 1928 and reimagined with Louis XVI grandeur. Its interiors are a masterclass in Parisian elegance: marble courtyards, antique tapestries, and floral installations that rival museum displays. 

The view may just be the most majestic thing about this hotel. Suites facing west offer unobstructed vistas of the Eiffel Tower, which glows at night and sparkles on the hour. Dining by candlelight with that skyline is a sought-after Parisian fantasy. And it’s one that George V delivers with quiet confidence.

Room service here is an exquisite extension of the hotel’s culinary prestige. With six Michelin stars across three restaurants (Le Cinq, Le George, and L’Orangerie), George V offers the rare opportunity to enjoy flawless cuisine in the privacy of your suite. Dishes include langoustine with citrus gelée and line-caught sea bass with caviar beurre blanc. Seasonal tasting menus are crafted by Chef Christian Le Squer. Everything arrives under silver cloches, plated with precision, and paired with wines from the hotel’s legendary cellar.

Raffles Doha

Location: Doha, Qatar
What to Order: Nine-Course Breakfast Trolley & Gold Cappuccino

Only at the Raffles Doha is there a suite-only sanctuary where breakfast arrives in nine courses and your cappuccino glitters in gold.

Raffles Doha occupies the sculptural Katara Towers – a pair of curved skyscrapers that rise like twin sails over Lusail Marina. The hotel opened in late 2022 as Qatar’s first all-suite property, with each space crafted to feel more like a private residence than a traditional hotel room.

Room service here is a masterclass in excess. The nine-course breakfast trolley includes foie gras, wagyu rib-eye, saffron pastries, and seasonal fruits – the staff plates everything with precision and delivers it on silver trays. Guests can also order the “Gold Cappuccino,” a frothy espresso topped with edible 24-karat gold leaf. We recommend it for those who feel their coffee just isn’t rich enough.

Chef Thierry Motsch leads the culinary program, blending French technique with Middle Eastern ingredients in his menus. While the hotel offers several dining venues – including Alba by Enrico Crippa and L’Artisan – in-suite dining delivers something else entirely. Needless to say, the team also tailors menus to each guest’s preferences, shifting offerings based on time of day and dietary requests.

Caldera House

Location: Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA
What to Order: $35,000 Michelin-Star Feast

Caldera House is a mountain hideaway where room service offers a private tasting menu, and the check could fund a semester at Yale.

Caldera House sits at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. With just eight suites (each sprawling, fireplace-warmed, and designed by Commune and Carney Logan Burke) the property feels more like a private chalet than a hotel. It’s where skiers, creatives, and billionaires go to disappear in style.

Room service here isn’t just elevated – it’s stratospheric. For $35,000, guests can book an in-suite tasting experience with Chef Masa Takayama, the force behind New York’s three-Michelin-star Masa. The multi-course menu features Hokkaido uni, toro tartare, and A5 wagyu. The chef serves each dish with sake pairings and soft-spoken ceremony. The experience hosts up to 12 guests and creates the feeling of a one-on-one.

Beyond the omakase, Caldera House offers a curated in-room dining menu that includes locally sourced meats, mountain vegetables, and après-ski comfort food. Guests can request private chefs, wine pairings, and custom menus tailored to their itinerary – whether it’s a fireside breakfast or a midnight feast after a day on the slopes.

The Post Oak Hotel

The Post Oak Hotel Location: Houston, Texas, USA
What to Order: Mastro’s Signature Steak & Gold-Encrusted Dessert

Room service at The Post Oak Hotel delivers prime steak, Champagne, and a dessert that sparkles – 1,000 feet above the city.

Billionaire Tilman Fertitta owns The Post Oak Hotel, Houston’s only Forbes Five-Star hotel and spa – a 38-story tower of glass, glamour, and Gulf Coast swagger. The hotel sits in the Uptown district and offers 250 rooms and suites, each with floor-to-ceiling windows, marble bathrooms, and views that stretch across the city skyline.

The hotel’s trio of signature restaurants — Mastro’s Steakhouse, Bloom & Bee, and Willie G’s Seafood — powers room service here. Guests can order Mastro’s bone-in filet, lobster mashed potatoes, and their famed butter cake. For dessert, a gold-encrusted chocolate dome melts tableside, revealing layers of mousse, ganache, and edible sparkle.

The in-room dining menu also includes lighter fare from Bloom & Bee – think avocado toast, beet-cured salmon, and seasonal salads. You can also get Gulf Coast classics from Willie G’s. Guests in the Presidential Suite can request private chefs and custom wine pairings. Better yet, you can even arrange helicopter transfers via the hotel’s rooftop helipad.
