Marriott bringing back the hot breakfast buffet at select-service hotels
International news
Marriott International will reintroduce hot breakfast buffets at some U.S. select-service brands in October and more widely roll it out during the winter.
Marriott in October will offer at a "select number" of Fairfield, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites and TownePlace Suites properties hot breakfast bars with items such as breakfast sandwiches, spinach-and-cheese crustless quiche and a jalapeno-cheddar baked soufflé.
The company throughout the winter will roll out the new breakfast offering to each of the nearly 3,000 properties of the four brands in the U.S., according to Marriott.
Marriott said it conducted a survey of about 800 travelers in the U.S. and Canada and found 75% of respondents indicated a preference for a hot breakfast buffet over a continental breakfast.
