Once upon a time, there was a minibar. Good old faithful. With its colourful little bottles, boring old nuts and outrageous prices. All of a sudden it disappeared. Gone from hotels forever. Electricity to run it, too expensive, the guests, too cheeky. Or so the tale goes. Or was it?
But then. Then came the day when the bar was back. Delicious drinks awaited the thirsting people, neon-lit signs and heavy red velvet curtains beamed a dim sign out into the world. Out? No, in. In here. Come on in here. Welcome to our day & night drinking minibar for your personal nightcap. Small and delicate, it can be found in the wild, not in the room. And it delights travellers with good taste with "Drinks at home" cocktails, for example. Drinks. Quirky cocktails created by notoriously trendy bartenders and bottled in appealing bottles, ready to drink.
Perhaps the even better news is that Hollmann's Beletage tradition - complimentary whiskey for house guests - lives on unchanged, of course.
