for longer hangouts and fewer hangovers , said Giacomini . |
HEALTHY SNACKS Besides leaning toward healthier snacking options , with lower sugar and salt content , hotels must consider using high quality and locally sourced ingredients .
“ Hotels have a responsibility to their guests , which means they have to meet guests where they are ,” said Mogelonsky . “ Low-sugar snacks are appreciated by both healthconscious guests , who are used to consuming such items , as well as guests who aren ’ t fully health oriented , though willing to explore these products .”
Most of the grab-and-go kiosks , stores and food outlets in hotels have healthier snack options , said Kyricos , adding that healthy options can also reflect in the oils being used , to reduced salt and sugar content .
EVEN Hotels offers a complimentary nightly tea service in the lobby , which includes herbal varieties , to help guests restore and recharge .
