The Hotel Minibar, Upgraded

The Hotel Minibar, Upgraded
|

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that many hotels are seeing tepid sales of their minibar offerings. To counteract this downward trend, hotels are overhauling their minibar offerings to try to entice more eaters and drinkers. With bottled water, Diet Coke and Pringles as the top minibar sellers, there's a lot of room for more desirable offerings. Below are some of the more eclectic food and drink offerings from hotels around the globe.
