A Tasteful French Countryside Hotel

This week's New York Times hotel report has nothing but good things to say about Hotel K, a food-lovers haven attached to the three-Michelin-star L'Arnsbourg in northeastern France.

Though Sarah Wildman's story is ostensibly about the hotel, she spends plenty of time discussing the real reason you'd stay the night: the food. Then again, when the food is some of the world's best, we can't blame her for talking it up:

All guests are encouraged to take the 25-euro breakfast. No one refuses. The night before diners create a wish list, obsessing over selections including interesting cheese plates, charcuterie, soft-boiled eggs, baskets of fresh pastries, baguettes and preserves, yogurts, omelets, the list goes on. In the morning [chef] Klein works the room, chatting in French and cutting Serrano ham on a mini-butcher's slicer.

Because the place is out in the country, you'll have plenty of space in which to loosen your belt. Good thing, too: After breakfast and before dinner, you'll want to have your way with the free minibar.
