As someone who loves to wake up early but often skips breakfast, I find myself seeking out hotels with complimentary morning meals while traveling.
Breakfast in My Life
I’ve always been an early riser, yet I tend to skip breakfast. Usually, just a cup of coffee and a short walk can keep me going until noon. Even on weekends, my breakfast often consists of a green juice paired with a bowl of fruit and yogurt, occasionally adding a few slices of toast.
Discovering Special Breakfasts While Traveling
However, when I’m traveling, I actively seek out hotels that offer free breakfast. I indulge in pancakes, hash browns, and a variety of sausages alongside poached eggs. Recently, I’ve noticed that breakfast buffets often highlight local dishes more than the typical options like scrambled eggs, pastries, or fruit salads.
I can’t forget the extensive breakfast buffets I experienced in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, featuring dishes like couscous, tomato shakshuka, curries, and stews. The pastries here are made with chocolate and pecan cream, while the baklava is drizzled with local honey.
The Beauty of Breakfast at Hotels
In Seoul, I spotted Dutch ovens showcasing soft-boiled eggs, fried rice, and dumplings. I watched as other guests overlooked the French toast in favor of tamales and tacos from Mexico or enjoyed callaloo and saltfish from Jamaica. The variety of hotel breakfasts reflects how chefs cater to the daily preferences of travelers while connecting them to local cultures.
Last year, I visited The Inn at Little Washington in Virginia, a unique restaurant run by Chef Patrick O’Connell for 48 years, filled with antiques and memorabilia from George Washington. O’Connell serves an enticing eight-course tasting menu that starts with festival-like snacks.

Memorable Breakfasts at The Inn
For overnight guests, the meal continues with a delightful breakfast featuring smoked salmon piled atop crispy potato galettes that I still dream about. The Inn makes its own yogurt, served with fresh fruit and homemade granola. My green juice really had some competition: a selection of freshly squeezed juices from local Virginia farms.
