What makes hotel breakfast special

Having breakfast in a hotel isn’t just a luxury that makes your stay even more special, but also offers several benefits that are often underestimated when choosing the hotel where you will stay:

• Comfort. Having a quality breakfast at the hotel means you don’t have to look for a new café or venue every morning, especially in places that are particularly popular with tourists, thus losing a great deal of time at the very start of the day.

• Variety. Hotels offer a wide range of food options to suit every taste, from continental breakfast to international breakfast.

• Local flavours. Many establishments pay close attention to working with local ingredients and products, ideal for those who want to sample regional delicacies.

• High quality, both in the ingredients and in the dishes prepared, ensuring you start the day in the best possible way.

• Better time management. A hotel with breakfast included allows you to save time and calmly organise the rest of your day, even before leaving the property.

Buffet breakfast: what it includes and what to expect

Having breakfast in a hotel is one of guests’ favourite moments. In the morning, they can choose their preferred specialities to start the day on a high. Some prefer a savoury breakfast, perhaps with freshly prepared eggs and bacon, while others cannot give up sweet treats: croissants, doughnuts and pancakes topped with maple syrup. And for those who keep an eye on their diet even while on holiday, we have fresh fruit, juices, seeds and cereals of every kind.

You can find all this and much more at UNA Esperienze and UNA Hotels across Italy. Every morning you can enjoy a hearty hotel breakfast, carefully prepared to provide the right boost of energy, essential for exploring cultural attractions, visiting cities or attending business meetings. In addition to the breakfast buffet, already filled with a wide selection of sweet and savoury delicacies, you can also choose from several à la carte recipes to be requested directly from the waiting staff.
