Hotels: Now have Gluten-Free Menus

Everybody loves to eat their favorites: cake, pizza, pasta, and potato chips.

But with the rise of celiac disease in individuals and as gluten free diets are gaining more popularity, Hotels are now coming out with innovative food options without the gluten baked into it. With many of Americans currently suffer from a scope of gluten-related disorders, it is fortunate that more and more restaurants in Hotels are accommodating menu options around this complicated dietary restriction. 

Not only is the number of gluten-free eateries expanding, so are the options within the menus. Hotel restaurants are serving now a broader selection, often including gluten-free cocktails, striped bass and chorizo, and they are certainly showing a higher level of understanding of special dietary needs.

Most recently, Kimpton's Hotel Palomar San Francisco are offering gluten free dishes including pretzel twists provided in their mini bars. Last year, the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts formulated a menu particularly for guests who have cardiovascular disease to gluten sensitivity. In addition, they have also created a new kid's menu that is composed of less calories than the regular counterparts. Correspondingly, Omni Hotels and Resorts have introduced a gluten-free breakfast buffet after research was evaluated on the demand for gluten-foods.

Many items on the menu are being formulated with substitutes for wheat and barley, making this industry a magnet for gluten free guests. Hotels are realizing the demand for gluten-free food and are trying to cater to the gluten-free market. Hotel owners are always looking for ways to drive in more traffic and they have found the most perfect way to attract more customers.
