There’s nothing quite like a hotel breakfast. When else can you make your first meal of the day a multi-course affair, complete with a starter, main and dessert? If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then one eaten in a hotel is surely the most important of all.
As a travel writer, I’ve stayed in plenty of hotels over the years. But the joy of a hotel breakfast has never worn thin. I’ve perfected the art of making the most of every element, from the first appraisal walk around the buffet to the knack of balancing three pain au chocolat on one side plate. That initial reconnaissance walk is key – on many occasions, I’ve sat back after breakfast, stuffed to the gills and rubbing my belly, only to see someone on another table eating a sticky cinnamon roll I somehow missed.
