Minibars now offer lovers’ kits

Minibars now offer lovers’ kits (IHT)

It was the logical progression from selling drinks in a client’s room. I’m only surprised that it’s taken this long.

It’s also clearly the new way to rate the quality of a hotel: Does it offer a “Petite Love Box” (like the Montalambert in Paris) or a “Shag Bag” (like the Sagamore in Miami Beach)? Can’t you just see your grandma saying, “You’re not staying at a Shag Bag hotel?!?”

I tell you, It’s the new star rating.
