But there is a crack of hope left for the in-house restaurants of the hotels because they can remain open to serve dinner, but only to their hotel guests. With this prospect and courage of reinventing themselves, the idea of offering gourmet staycation developed among some luxury hotels with award-winning restaurants inside the premises.Staycation is a short holiday, usually within an arc of a day and a night spent in one's own city or country. With all the restrictions going on, it's the best way to unwind, enjoy good food and explore the city. So, a package of an overnight stay in the hotel combined with a gourmet dinner in their restaurant without worrying about the midnight curfew is the best way to have a little escape.
