In Miami for Thanksgiving? Congrats! It's going to be 77 degrees on Thursday. And we assume if you're visiting--and staying in a hotel--you won't be looking for a frozen bird and a stove, but a decadent spread to enjoy before stumbling back to your room for a post-feast nap.

Here are our top five picks for Thanksgiving tables on the beach:

1. The Fontainebleau: Because, hey, Ricky Martin's there! Also, they have a bunch of restaurants to choose from, all doing a holiday meal. If you want a Chinese spin, opt for Hakkasan. Italian? Scarpetta.

Pet-friendly amenities and all. <p>A custom room was offered up to the turkey, including: added sawdust on the floor as well as a W-branded <b>"munchie box" filled with soy, corn and cranberries.</b> Wow, they really step it up for these birds!

Being low season here in London, many American travelers opt to take advantage of deals, however minor, on travel to this notoriously expensive city. However, Yanks who have chosen to make their rounds on double-decker buses this week sacrifice being on mother soil during Thanksgiving, a huge trade off that's sure to leave tourists pining for a taste of tryptophan and pumpkin pie. Tough luck in kebab and chippy town. ]]> Heidi Atwal 2011-11-22T17:00:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/11/17/11120/237 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/AWS.WW.DiningRoom2.jpeg" class="top"><p>Considering the super-high standards of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/9/10/145516/888/hotels/Hot_Restaurants_Also_Opening_in_Hot_NYC_Hotels_This_Fall">hotel restaurants</a> in New York (Maze at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/London+NYC+Hotel/local/239"><b>The London NYC</b></a>, Maialino at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Gramercy+Park+Hotel/local/4"><b>Gramercy Park</b></a>, and The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Ace+Hotel+New+York/local/1313"><b>Ace</b></a>'s The Breslin all come to mind), no one could possibly fault you for ditching the entire fam and taking yourself to a nice dinner in midtown (or Wall Street, as the case may be). <p>Check out these delightful dining options.
