Chinese New Year marks a meaningful moment when families reunite and celebrate together. Many choose leading hotel Chinese restaurants as the ideal setting for large family gatherings, where they can relax in refined surroundings and enjoy exquisite dishes laid out across the table.
Beyond paying respects to ancestors and exchanging blessings for prosperity, families also prioritise sharing a meal. Dining together allows everyone to catch up, share laughter and strengthen family bonds. For those looking to gather loved ones around the table, #legend_TH has curated a selection of hotel restaurants along with recommended set menus for the occasion.
