Avolta’s HMSHost dining venues named among the “10 Best” at US Airports

Avolta is celebrating the success of several of its US airport dining venues, operated by HMSHost, in the annual USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

The awards highlighted outstanding performance across three distinct categories, with Landry’s Seafood at George Bush Intercontinental Airport receiving the distinction of Best Airport Sit-Down Restaurant.

This year, a total of 11 HMSHost restaurants were honored, underscoring Avolta’s operational excellence and continued leadership in airport dining. Chosen by a panel of travel and dining experts and voted on by travelers across the United States, the annual 10Best travel lists spotlight the very best of sit-down restaurants, bars, and grab-and-go options in US airports.

“This recognition confirms what we strive for every day - to make travelers happier and reinforces HMSHost’s leadership in airport dining,” said Steve Johnson, President and CEO, North America, Avolta. “We’re especially proud to operate at all 10 of the nation’s top-ranked airports for dining. These honors reflect both the passion and commitment of our teams and the vision we share with our airport partners to transform the travel experience.”

This is HMSHost’s third consecutive year landing a #1 spot on the competitive lists following back-to-back wins in the Best Airport Bar category for Blu2o at Palm Beach International Airport in 2024 and Three King Public House at St. Louis Lambert International Airport in 2023.
