Definition of Minibar
A Minibar refers to a compact refrigerator that is commonly found in hotel rooms to keep drinks chilled. The Minibar is stocked with an array of beverages such as sodas, water, juices, and alcoholic beverages. It is designed to allow hotel guests to enjoy a cold drink at any time, without the need to leave the hotel room. Normally, all the drinks in the Minibar require payment, but occasionally, hotels may offer complimentary drinks as part of a loyalty program or special promotion. The Minibar is a convenient and luxurious amenity that adds a touch of comfort to a guest’s stay. Its purpose is to provide guests with the ability to quench their thirst without having to venture out of their hotel room, and to generate revenue for the hotel establishment. It is an essential feature in modern-day hotel rooms of all rating levels, from economy to luxury, and reinforces the overall experience guests have of their stay.
