Looks like some hotels are starting to realize that travelers don’t want to pay $35 for a Corona and a sandwich, and that people would also like to try to eat a little bit healthy while traveling. According to the New York Times article:
“For instance, Loews Hotels plans to eliminate artificial trans fats from its restaurants, room service menus and minibars by June, replacing deep-fried snacks with PowerBars and other options. Westin Hotels and Resorts has been testing a Travelers’ Renewal Menu in 20 properties that includes a smoothie to combat jet lag, oatmeal cookies and warm milk to ward off insomnia and a “Havana treat plate” — bananas, rice, applesauce and toast — to calm an upset stomach.
Marriott Hotels and Resorts, which has offered health-conscious “Fit for You” options for several years, promises to “revolutionize” in-room dining with improvements this year that will include new menu items that are consistent across its hotels, more regional specialties and, potentially, meals that are packaged to go, like a breakfast that can be eaten on a plane.”
