The 6 Best Hotel Brunches In America

Also with live jazz, Sou’Wester at the Mandarin Oriental Washington DC offers traditional brunch specials with a focus on Southern comfort food. And their cocktails — including their version of the Bloody Mary, complete with ham-infused vodka — are just as comforting as the entrees! Guests can enjoy views overlooking the marina as they feast on tasty (and expensive) meals loaded with eggs, bacon, and other brunch staples.

Oyster’s Pick: Pumpkin pie pancakes with roasted banana bourbon butter, pumpkin seed brittle, and maple syrup.

The plump pig (available for purchase in the form of stuffed animals) is a fitting mascot for Henrietta’s Table at the Charles Hotel-Harvard Square, as diners are sure to feel stuffed after a scrumptious meal at this local produce-focused hot spot, which has won several awards for its famed Sunday brunch. Though the restaurant is closed through January 17th for a “facelift,” guests can look forward to the all-you-can-eat buffet when it reopens. Along with unlimited coffee, tea, and orange juice, the buffet offers items such as omelets, breakfast pastries, desserts, carved meats, bagels, waffles, bacon, eggs, and even pasta.

Oyster’s Pick: The raw bar’s offerings, including Wellfleet oysters and jumbo shrimp.

Norma’s at Le Parker Meridien is one of the most popular places to get brunch in the city, making it a destination unto itself. With a massive menu that includes all different kinds of pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, and eggs Benedict – as well as other tasty specials, Norma’s starts serving Sunday brunch bright and early, at 7:30 a.m. And considering how long the wait can be, it would be wise to get there when the doors open.

Oyster’s Pick: The $1,000 lobster frittata, with six eggs, several lobster claws and 10 ounces of Sevruga caviar — we dare you.

Named for the narrator of The Catcher in the Rye, Caulfield’s Bar and Dining Room is a party spot by night, and a delicious brunch locale by day at the Thompson Beverly Hills. In fact, many of those late-night, see-and-be-seen partiers show up on Sunday morning to nurse their hangovers with the restaurant’s tasty breakfast and wide selection of “superjuices.”

Oyster’s Pick: Superfood special with sunnyside eggs, onions, kale, mushrooms, avocado, sriracha, and a side of blackberries.

Opened in 2010 and helmed by chef Mark Payne, Deca is a relatively laid-back option (with a loungey vibe) in the otherwise elegant Ritz-Carlton Chicago. Complete with an espresso bar, cheese platters, raw bar, and a long list of signature appetizers and entrees, Deca is a popular spot for a hearty brunch before shopping along Magnificent Mile.

Oyster’s Pick: Red wine poached farm eggs with brioche, house-made bacon, pearls onions, seasonal mushrooms, and red wine sauce.
