It's no secret that Australians love good food. In fact, besides the incredible scenery, wildlife, city life and surf, good food is part of what draws visitors back to Australia time and again. Where should true foodies stay when visiting? Let's explore some amazing hotels that any foodie will love while exploring the land down under.

InterContinental Sydney

Why visit a national icon when you can stay in one? InterContinental Sydney sits directly over the site where the first Australian grape vine was planted. The hotel was built around the Treasury Building of 1851. Even more exciting for the food loving traveler, is the wide array of tantalising Sydney restaurants suited for any occasion.

Café Opera is best known for its fresh and always delicious seasonal seafood buffet. For more personal service while keeping with the idea of trying a bit of everything, 117 Dining offers a la carte degustation meals. If a decidedly proper yet fun experience appeals, InterContinental Sydney's own The Cortile serves High Tea and High Coffee.

Harbour Rocks Hotel

You might not believe a 59 room boutique hotel would have more than one dining option but Harbour Rocks Hotel, in the heart of Sydney, has exactly that.

Let's start on the ground floor with Eric's Bar. A great place to relax with friends and enjoy specialty wines and food from a tapas menu, Eric's Bar combines heritage beginnings with modern comforts and style. Scarlett Restaurant, on the site of Sydney's first hospital, is known as one of the oldest new restaurants in Sydney. After dining, step out onto historic Nurses Walk for a pleasant stroll.

Hotel Lindrum

Hotel Lindrum is a contemporary styled boutique accommodation in Melbourne perfect for the couple needing a romantic getaway or the business traveler requiring an excellent CBD location.

Food choices begin with Felt Restaurant which is located on the ground floor and known as one of Melbourne's best restaurants. The seasonal seafood and produce that fill out the menu means dishes served here are always up-to-date and exciting. High Tea is offered for those who cherish tradition and charm. Interesting Note: Felt Restaurant gets it's name from the 'felt' lining on the hotel's famous billiard table.

InterContinental Adelaide

This amazing Adelaide accommodation on the River Torrens puts guests close to everything special about the Adelaide.

For the foodie, culinary delights await starting with two award winning establishments, Riverside and Shiki. Riverside offers delicious fresh seasonal cuisine while Shiki offers Japanese specialities, including some of the best sushi you'll ever eat, among other favourites. Five o'clock is Happy Hour at The Atrium and happy it is. Wine by the glass and live entertainment make it a perfect place to relax with friends.

Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise

Towering above one of Australia's favourite coastlines, Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise is perfectly located between Surfers Paradise entertainment strip and Broadbeach's easy going shopping and dining scene.

Topping the tower is Four Winds 360 Revolving Restaurant, the only one of its kind in Queensland, making Crowne Plaza the perfect Surfers Paradise accommodation. Besides the stunning views of the gold coast, city and beyond, Four Winds 360 serves delectable seafood. Dining at the sunset hour requires planning ahead but is definitely worth the effort.

Any one of these hotels, with their on-site or nearby dining establishments, will add pleasure to your trip. Which one will you choose when visiting Australia?
