The Vegan Travel Guide

Google says there's no fully vegan hotel in Amsterdam. That's not quite true, and most travel blogs never bother checking.

We just did. Turns out there's one proper exception, a small vegan bed and breakfast that barely shows up in any "best of" list, plus a full rundown of the vegan-friendly hotels that actually deliver on breakfast (not just a sad side salad), sorted by neighborhood so you know exactly where you'll end up if you book them.

Every hotel on the list was checked to make sure it's still open in 2026. A few names on other people's guides quietly aren't.

Full list and booking links in the comments.

Ask five vegan travellers to define "vegan hotel" and you'll get five different answers. We spent weeks sorting the real thing from the marketing.

Turns out there's a genuinely 100% vegan hotel in Chiang Mai that holds a Michelin Key. A resort in the Maldives runs a six-course vegan tasting menu themed around a different colour every night. And a small guesthouse in Sri Lanka has racked up 830+ glowing reviews that almost nobody outside the vegan travel world seems to know about.

We went country by country across Asia — Thailand, Bali, Sri Lanka, Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, the Maldives, India, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines — and split every property into "fully vegan" and "vegan-friendly," because those two get used interchangeably online and really shouldn't be.

Ever Googled "vegan-friendly hotel chains" and gotten a wall of gorgeous boutique B&Bs instead? Same. That's not what you searched for.

So we actually dug into it: which major chains (Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, Accor) take vegan travelers seriously, and which ones are coasting on a sad side salad. Turns out one Hilton in London built an entire suite out of pineapple leather with its own vegan minibar. Another chain's big "vegan initiative" is... a houseplant you can request for your room. 🌱

Full breakdown of what to actually expect from each chain, plus how to double-check before you book, is up now.

Quick myth-bust: there is no 100% vegan hotel in Mexico City. We looked. Hard.

What CDMX does have is one of the best plant-based food scenes on the planet — over 100 fully vegan restaurants, most of them a short walk from each other in Roma Norte and Condesa.

So we did the next best thing: found and verified 9 hotels that are actually open right now, sorted by neighborhood, with notes on which ones have kitchens, real vegan menus, and how close you'll be to the good stuff.

(One "vegan hotel" that keeps showing up on other lists? We couldn't find any evidence it exists. Left it off.)

Wales just got its first-ever 100% vegan hotel. 🌱

We just published the full 2026 guide to vegan hotels across Europe, country by country, and one thing kept surprising us while researching it: how fast this space moves. A hotel once billed as "the UK's first vegan hotel" quietly closed and started serving meat again. Meanwhile Ffarm Hall, in a 1706 farmhouse in North Wales, opened in May with 14 "snuggery" rooms and a fully plant-based restaurant, and it's already the standout new listing on the page.

Inside: where to stay from Mykonos to the Yorkshire Dales, what actually separates a "100% vegan hotel" from a "vegan-friendly" one, real nightly prices by budget/mid-range/luxury, and which properties we checked and dropped because they're no longer vegan.

If you've ever recommended Saorsa 1875 as "the UK's vegan hotel," time for an update: it closed in October 2025. 🌱

There are now only two 100% vegan hotels left in the UK, and they're both run by the same family — Beck Hall in the Yorkshire Dales, and its new sister property Ffarm Hall, which just opened in North Wales. Both fully plant-based, both dog-friendly. 🐾

Not near either one? We've also broken down the vegan-friendly tier (yes, that includes a proper vegan suite at a London Hilton) and the vegetarian B&Bs worth knowing, region by region.

There's no vegan filter on Booking.com. Or Expedia. Or Google Hotels.

None of them have one.

So if you've been assuming you're missing something obvious — you're not. It just doesn't exist yet.

Here's what actually works instead:

→ VeggieHotels and HappyCow's buried B&B filter for dedicated vegan properties
→ Searching review text (not amenity filters) on mainstream booking sites
→ A direct email script you can copy-paste to any hotel that doesn't advertise vegan options but can probably accommodate you if you ask the right way

Also covers: the difference between a vegan hotel and a vegan-friendly one, red flags in 'vegan-friendly' marketing copy, and a quick checklist to verify before you book.

"Japan is impossible for vegans."

We heard this so many times. So we went to Tokyo and spent weeks testing every district, every ramen shop, every convenience store.

Turns out Tokyo has one of Asia's most developed plant-based dining scenes — vegan sushi, gyoza, ramen, and a Buddhist temple cuisine that's been naturally vegan for over 1,000 years.

Our full 2026 guide covers:
🍜 The best vegan ramen in Tokyo (and what's actually worth the queue)
🍣 Where to find vegan sushi — yes, it exists and it's good
🥟 The rapidly growing vegan gyoza scene
🏯 Shojin Ryori — Buddhist temple food that predates the word "vegan"
🏪 What to buy at 7-Eleven, Lawson & FamilyMart
🗣️ Japanese phrases to order safely at any restaurant

Planning a Tokyo trip? This one's for you 👇

Tokyo gets a bad reputation among vegan travelers. You'll hear the same warning repeated: Japan is tough for vegans, dashi is everywhere, and you'll spend your trip eating plain rice. Some of that is true in rural areas. In Tokyo, most of it isn't. This vegan Tokyo guide is built…

We completely rebuilt our US vegan resort guide — and the reason it needed rebuilding is a little embarrassing.

The old version listed nine properties under "vegan resorts USA." Six of them were in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Ecuador.

So. We fixed it.

The new guide covers 13 genuine US properties, rated by tier so you know exactly what you're actually getting:

🟢 100% Vegan — every meal, every amenity, no exceptions
🟡 Plant-Forward — built around plants, some minor exceptions
🔵 Vegan-Friendly — strong menus, mainstream resort

We also answered the question nobody else seems to have answered properly: are there any truly all-inclusive vegan resorts in the USA? (Short answer: barely. Longer answer in the guide.)

From $85/night at a Utah animal sanctuary to $700/night in Beverly Hills — it's all in there.

12 genuine US vegan resorts rated by tier — 100% plant-based, plant-forward, or vegan-friendly. With prices, honest limitations, and all-inclusive options.

2017: Lewis Hamilton changes what’s on his plate.

He’s already winning races.
He’s already living in a world where tiny edges matter.

Then he goes plant-based anyway.

Not because it’s trendy.
Because he lines it up with what he cares about: animals, the planet, and how he feels day to day.

He talks about energy.
He talks about recovery.

He also brings his dog into it.
Same household. Same choices. Same message: “This matters at home too.”

People expect compassion to make you softer.
He proves it can make you clearer.

If a driver at 200mph can change course, you can too.
One meal. One swap. One week.

You don’t need permission to evolve.
You just need a reason you actually believe in.
