It was 1974 when Robert Arnold took a flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong and his eyes spotted the innovative mini bottles of alcoholic beverages that would later influence a key element in every hotel room; the minibar. Robert, from the Hong Kong Hilton hotel, ordered them for his hotel and saw a drastic increase in drink sales that year.
The comfort of the minibar is more than having a few snacks and drinks readily available. It is an opportunity to display the ideals, aesthetics and taste of the hotel brand itself. However, times have changed and it is now known that maintaining these minibars (restocking them, keeping count of what’s been consumed and so on), is sometimes more demanding than profitable. Many of them are still there but empty inside. That’s why today we’ve selected five projects that maintain the enjoyment and comfort of the small details that make or break the hospitality experience.
These luxurious and tempting corners of the hotel room embody some sort of mystery box, making it impossible not to take a peek at the delicious or tipsy treasures inside. The best interior designers know how important it is to take advantage of these areas, to take guest rooms to the refined next level.
