Some of the best parts of traveling are the new places you get to see, of course, but also the hotel luxuries you don't get at home that can help you refresh and recharge during your stay. More specifically, beyond the big, comfy bed, it’s the convenient dining options on-site. When you’re starting a meeting- or activity-packed day or winding down from one at night, it makes a big difference to not have to venture out to find great food.
That’s one reason Hilton Garden Inn is a solid choice for a stay. If you're a guest at one of the brand’s 900+ properties worldwide, you get to dine and unwind in a setting that truly caters to busy travelers with a thoughtfully crafted menu of creative and crowd-pleaser options at its Garden Grille & Bar.
There are some definitive standouts on a Hilton Garden Inn menu, and to help you get the most out of your future visits, we've narrowed those down for you. Read on to find out our favorites—and give them a try on your next getaway.
Pan-Fried Dumplings
These flavorful potstickers are filled with minced chicken and Asian vegetables and served with a sweet chili sauce. They're the ideal small-plate pick when you want to fill up without eating something heavy, or a no-fail shareable app to start your meal off strong.
Shrimp Tacos
Served in soft flour tortillas, these shrimp tacos are a fan favorite for a reason. The savory specialty, topped with chipotle crema, radish, and cilantro, is that comforting dish that hits just the right spicy note.
Margherita Flatbread
Sometimes there’s nothing like a familiar comfort food to help you unwind when you’re away from home. That’s when you go with the rustic Margherita Flatbread. The popular stonefire naan creation is made with roasted garlic pesto, fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, roma tomatoes, and basil. Pass it up, and you'll have order envy once you inevitably spot it on someone else's table.
French Toast
Tend to get up with the sun? Hilton Garden Inn does, too—they start their cooked-to-order breakfast as early as 6 a.m. on weekdays so you can get your feast on and still have time to make it through your entire ambitious itinerary. You might be wavering between a solid fuel-up option like the Power Breakfast bowl (a healthy mix of chicken, egg whites, ancient grains, and veggies, all topped with pesto) and a sweeter pick. Go for the latter—and more specifically, the golden, custardy French Toast. It's a satisfying standby, served with whipped butter, warm syrup, and your choice of bacon, pork, or all-natural turkey sausage links.
Modern Mule
The full bar at Hilton Garden Inn means you’ll always find a drink you like. There’s a big selection of wine, from 14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon to Trinity Oaks Pinot Grigio (sourced from vineyards that use sustainable growing practices) and plenty of beer options (Sam Adams, Blue Moon Belgian White, and beyond). But if you want to branch out with your bar order, you can do that too. For a sipper that feels truly special, try the Modern Mule. The twist on the traditional drink is made with Tito’s handmade vodka and ginger beer, with splashes of pineapple juice and simple syrup, plus a squeeze of fresh lime.
