The old adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day may or may not be true, but there's no denying the cozy and comforting feeling that only comes from a satisfying hotel breakfast. So the UK company Mornings.co.uk, which focuses on improving sleep habits, looked at which hotels in 133 capital cities around the world offer the most lauded morning meals.

By looking at Tripadvisor reviews that included the phrases "best breakfast," "great breakfast," and "excellent breakfast," the study tallied up the properties with the most glowing breakfast reviews "because when 5,000 people recommend a hotel breakfast, it's probably worth the journey," the research concluded.

Topping the global list is London's Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, which had 5,363 positive reviews for its breakfast — among them, reviews saying it served up "superb breakfast with so many choices" and provided "wide variety even for my fussy 10-year-old."

Honing in on North America, the islands continue to dominate. Not far behind the Sandals Royal Bahamian, which had 3,545 positive mentions, is Cuba's Iberostar Parque Central, and the Sandals Grande Antigua Resort and Spa. In the U.S., Hotel Mazarin in New Orleans came out on top with 3,385 compliments.
