Food and beverage is a different discipline to the rest of hotel photography, and hotels routinely underestimate it.

A restaurant has to look occupied without looking crowded, dressed without looking staged, and warm under lighting that was designed for diners rather than cameras. Horizon Line was shot around service rather than in place of it, with tables set to the kitchen's own standard, so what appears in frame is what a guest is actually served.

These are the images that sell covers to people already staying in the building — the highest margin diners a hotel restaurant has.
