Leisure travel has reportedly come roaring back this summer, despite the threat of the delta variant, and experts are optimistic that business travel will also pick up later this year and in 2022.

Meanwhile, hotels across the country are investing in their dining spaces, creating destination food-and-beverage outlets designed to attract both locals and travelers.

For The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, Tenn., the Hyatt Centric in Charlotte, N.C., and the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, the new restaurants are a result of makeovers to the properties.

Here’s a look at five interesting new dining concepts open this summer or coming soon to hotel properties across the U.S.
