Hilton Garden Inn on Wednesday announced the transformation of its F&B concept to address consumers’ changing dining preferences, including healthier choices and a more social setting for restaurant and bar service.
The F&B upgrade is the second phase of a large-scale initiative to amplify the Hilton Garden Inn global brand, building on last month’s introduction of a revamped hotel design approach that provides six new, customizable hotel prototype options – one for each region of the world where the brand operates.
As with the new regional hotel prototypes, the F&B design may be customized to fit the needs of individual hotels while retaining the light, bright and airy atmosphere that is consistent across the global brand.
Specific F&B enhancements include the following:
New retail space. An enhanced grab-and-go menu items available 24/7 with a mix of healthy, indulgent and fresh foods, including fresh plates; locally-sourced food and craft beers; snacks and beverages; and a specialty self-serve coffee bar. The new concept will replace the existing Pavilion Pantry in all locations within the next few years.
Refreshed breakfast buffet. A new, open-display kitchen for cooked-to-order food. The brand will continue to offer a hot and cold menu and local, daily specials.
Beverage-centric restaurant. It will offer signature cocktails, varietal wines and craft beers, complemented by appetizers, small plates, dinner entrees with local flavors and shareable desserts.
In-room dining options. Grab-and-go or “packaged delivery” options available for in- room dining delivery. Since every Hilton Garden Inn room has a refrigerator, guests can increase choice and control over their experience.
The new F&B concept has initially launched in several Hilton Garden Inn properties across the U.S., as well as Krakow, Poland. Numerous other F&B upgrades will be implemented across hotels throughout 2017, and beyond.
Additional components of the large-scale Hilton Garden Inn brand amplification program will launch in the coming months.
