With several restaurants to choose from, the Mandarin Oriental Shanghai offers some of the best cuisine in the city, making it one of the top hotels for foodies to visit or stay in while in this part of China. When staying in the hotel’s Presidential Suite, the fine-dining options available can be brought to the privacy of your suite. With its own kitchen, wine cellar, wine bar and dining room, the suite gives guests the flexibility of entertaining guests over dinner, eating in-suite and choosing how and when they would like their meals created.

Mhondoro Villa, Mhondoro Safari Lodge – $2,830 per night
For a family-friendly foodie experience that is slightly different from the other examples showcased here, we love the unique luxury option of the Mhondoro Villa at the Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villas. Situated in the Welgevonden Game Reserve in South Africa, the Mhondoro Villa includes all meals and several drink options in the price. The villa’s exclusivity also means that guests have access to a private game-viewing vehicle and ranger as well as housekeeping staff, a private butler and a private chef to meet any requests guests have during their stay.

If a tropical environment is more to your liking, the Laola Residence 1001 at Timber Kauai, Hokuala, is the perfect balance of sun, sea and gourmet food options.
