What does the hotel’s minibar mean?

The hotel's minibar is the guest room minibar.

The hotel minibar is mainly to provide services to guests. Some hotels are better and will clearly mark the prices of wine, drinks and snacks in the minibar, which is acceptable for you to enjoy, but not all hotels do this. In this way, sometimes you may estimate that the price will not be particularly high, but you will regret it when you check out.

The origin of the hotel’s minibar:

The minibar was first invented by the German Siegas company in the 1960s and was later introduced by the Madison Hotel in Washington. It became popular in hotels. And it has become standard equipment. In fact, the core lies in profit.

In 1974, the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel became the first hotel in the world to be equipped with a Minibar throughout the hotel. This small Minibar created a big change at that time (creating a 500% meal delivery and wine service for the hotel) epic growth and 5% full-year revenue growth).

Probably because of the profit point, and at the same time, in order to improve the hotel's service, Minibar has become an indispensable presence in the hotel.
