Hotel Healthy Eating

A Week Away used to mean indulgence and relaxation, enjoying all the good things about life, the weather and of course the sumptuous food in the hotel restaurant. Not anymore. Although the stress relieving aspects of a week away are still there hotels are introducing new tasty, healthy eating programs in their restaurants.
We are all becoming increasingly aware of the nutritional content of our food and the importance of healthy eating as well as an active lifestyle. Hotels have realised this and have got onboard with encouraging their guests to eat healthily. Hyatt is one of the large luxury hotel chains heading the campaign to get healthy options onto hotel menus.
Hyatt and others following their example are working towards implementing these changes and by 2016 a reduction in the calorie, salt and sugar content of meals should be achieved. Hotel restaurants will be offering portion-controlled, nutritional options on their menus which mean that a week away does not have to mean a break from the diet.

However does this mean a general increase in price for smaller portions? The aim is to provide at least two healthy meal options that are equivalent or lower in price than the other options available. It is questionable whether this is possible, as we all know organic and quality produce costs more!

The introduction of healthier options is not only good news for the diet and our waistlines but also for the environment. As well as providing balanced healthy food for the diners, hotel restaurants aim to source their ingredients in an ethical and sustainable way that benefits the environment and the farmers such as “cage free eggs, all natural beef and sustainable seafood”. Sounds delicious!
