Hilton Garden Inn Serves Up New Food & Beverage Offerings

12 Abr 2017, 08:53 AM EDT

Revamped retail and social spaces, breakfast buffet, in-room dining
and bar-restaurant offerings address consumer dining trends while
enhancing owners’ ROI

MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The food and beverage (F&B) leader in the upper midscale hotel brand
category is amplifying its offerings to further enhance the guest
experience – and bolster ROI for hotel owners.

Hilton
Garden Inn, an award-winning brand from Hilton
(NYSE: HLT), today announces the transformation of its F&B concept to
address consumers’ changing dining preferences, such as healthier and
more organic menu choices, enticing new flavors, around-the-clock retail
availability, and a more social setting for restaurant and bar service.

“Hilton Garden Inn continually strives to anticipate and cater to the
evolving needs and preferences of our guests, while maximizing revenue
generation for hotel developers and owners,” said John Greenleaf, global
head, Hilton Garden Inn, Hilton. “With these enhancements, we are
capitalizing on food and beverage trends that we believe will brighten
the F&B experience across our global portfolio of 700+ hotels.”

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 – will give
guests enhanced grab-and-go menu items available 24/7. Among the
options will be an upscale 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 – will
feature a new, open-display kitchen for cooked-to-order food, while
continuing to offer a hot and cold menu and local, daily specials.
Beverage Centric Restaurant Offering–
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 – will
consist of grab-and-go or “packaged delivery” options available for
in- room dining delivery – creating a more on-trend, casual dining
option that guests can enjoy at the time they desire. Since every
Hilton Garden Inn room has a refrigerator, guests are provided
increased choice and control over their experience.

The introduction of fresh F&B offerings builds on Hilton Garden Inn’s
longstanding reputation for excellence, as evidenced by more than 10
consecutive years winning guest satisfaction surveys conducted by an
industry-leading consumer intelligence firm.

The new F&B concept has initially launched in several Hilton Garden Inn
properties, including those in Arlington, Texas; Spring, Texas;
Pensacola, Fla.; Silver Spring, Md.; Seattle/Bothell, Wash.; and 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.
