About Hay Creek Hotels:
Founded in 2005, Hay Creek Hotels was created specifically to combine
the intimacy of a boutique hotel with world-class cuisine,
cutting-edge technology, unparalleled guest service and the exclusive
amenities of a luxury inn. At Hay Creek Hotels, our passion is to
pioneer superior service and inspire excitement within the small,
independent hotel sector: to "Delight & Surprise" our
guests every day. These values are driven by the idea that the best
hotels and restaurants are the ones that draw on the spirit, culture
and character of their locales. From meticulously renovated historic
properties to exciting new-build hotels, we offer some of the most
unique and interesting lodging and dining destinations in the United
States. Our hotels and resorts are designed to reflect their
respective neighborhoods and serve as good neighbors by participating
in community events and causes. Through environmentally responsible
design and day-to-day management, we adhere to best practices for
sustainable operations at every location.
Bringing a hyper-local focus to the hotel dining experience, the
restaurants in the Hay Creek Hotels collection form deep connections
with respected local farms and providers. Our chefs seamlessly
integrate their regions’ finest meats, seafood and produce with
contemporary cooking styles and flavors. Each Hay Creek restaurant is
distinguished by sophisticated yet casual ambiance and cuisine that
delivers both comfort and surprise with each bite. We are not the
average box hotel, and this is not the average dining experience.
Dishes are created each night with the perfect balance of texture,
flavor, and presentation. Farm-to-table food brings sensational
seasonal menus with creative twists on old classics.
