the breakfast blueprint
What hotel operators, designers and brand leaders need to know about hotel breakfast in 2025
A whitepaper from Think Hospitality on turning your hotel breakfast into a revenue driver and guest experience differentiator.
Hotel breakfasts have never mattered more. Once a default amenity, today they’re a strategic lever for guest satisfaction, loyalty, sustainability and brand storytelling. In this whitepaper, we explore how to optimise every element of the breakfast offer – from menu and service flow to sustainability, space design and emotional impact.
What’s inside the whitepaper?
-
Case studies of best-in-class hotel breakfasts, from boutique gems to global brands. See how properties like Il Salviatino, The Standard, Four Seasons and Casa Maria Luigia are setting the standard.
-
Sustainability strategies that actually work, including how to reduce waste, nudge guest behaviour and make buffets more climate-conscious.
-
Design approaches that maximise space and revenue, with insights on how to turn breakfast venues into all-day social, dining or co-working areas.
-
How breakfast is evolving with the wellness movement, from plant-forward menus to rituals that support rest, energy and balance.
-
The power of partnerships and how collaborations with local producers, chefs and global brands are elevating the breakfast experience.
