As the keto diet continues to dominate the wellness and hospitality industries, hotels and resorts must adapt to meet the growing demand for low-carb, high-fat dining options.

The 3 Must-Have Keto-Friendly Meals for Hotels

For 2025, hotels and wellness destinations must offer keto options that cater to breakfast, lunch, and dinner—without compromising on flavor, presentation, or guest satisfaction.

1. Keto Power Breakfast: Avocado & Smoked Salmon Benedict

A luxurious twist on the classic Eggs Benedict, this keto-friendly version delivers healthy fats, protein, and micronutrients without the carb-heavy English muffin.

Why It Works

  • High in healthy fats from avocado and smoked salmon.
  • Zero refined carbs—served on a bed of sautéed spinach or a keto-friendly almond flour biscuit.
  • Packed with omega-3s and essential nutrients to fuel energy and cognition.

How to Serve It

  • Poached eggs over a buttery almond flour biscuit (or sautéed greens for a lighter option).
  • Topped with rich hollandaise sauce (made with grass-fed butter & lemon).
  • Garnished with microgreens & edible flowers for a luxury aesthetic.

Why It Works

  • Steak is a keto staple, providing high-quality protein and healthy fats.
  • Garlic butter asparagus is low in carbs, high in fiber, and rich in antioxidants.
  • MCT-infused herb butter adds a metabolic boost and enhances flavor.

How to Serve It

  • 12oz grass-fed ribeye grilled to perfection.

  • Dairy-free and gluten-free options cater to various dietary needs.
  • Beautifully plated for an Instagram-worthy dining experience.
