Renaissance Providence Hotel Offers “Design-a-Bar” to Inspire Guests

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 16, 2007 -- [Providence, RI – July, 2007] - The keystone of Providence’s new Avenue of the Arts, the Renaissance Providence Hotel now serves up inspiration individualized for each guest with its exclusive Design-a-Bar amenity.

The Providence hotel, being a property focused on the arts, developed this creative idea to allow guests to use their imaginations to design their own mini bar. Guests can chose what inspires them from an a la carte menu or select an already designed package that suits their spirit at the moment. Forget bland peanuts and tiny bottles of vodka. These mini bars will offer something sweet or savory or a pocket Etch-a-Sketch or Mini Buddha Board. Beverage selections range from a bucket of locally brewed Narragansett and Trinity Brew House beers, fine champagne, or a complete and sophisticated “007” martini set with a martini shaker, martini glasses, Absolut or Vermont Gold Vodka, Stirrings Club Soda, and jumbo gourmet olives.

Ideal as part of a Providence vacation package, Design-a-Bar can be selected with a pre-check in email, at the time of check-in, or upon entering the guest room. Each room is equipped with a fridge to complete the Design-a-Bar experience.

“We have envisioned the Renaissance Providence Hotel as inspiring everyone who enters it, revealing the soul of the artist who lives in each and every one of us,” says Angelo De Peri, general manager of the New England hotel. “The Design-a-Bar reflects that mission by allowing guests to be creative from the moment they arrive.”

Some package and item choices will include:

• Fit for Life – Nantucket Nectar 100% fruit juice, Kashi crunchy granola bar, and choice of Lara bar
• A Little Zen - Honest T Organic Iced Green Tea, house-made trail mix of dried fruits and nuts
• Something Salty – Narragansett Beer or Polar Beverage Soda, Stacy’s Pita Chips and hearth-baked pretzels
• After the Show – Split of champagne/sparkling wine and a selection of Garrison Handmade Chocolates

• RI Pub Crawl – Bucket of Narragansett and Trinity Brew House Beers, jumbo beer nuts and hearth-baked pretzels
• Double O Who? - Absolut or Vermont Gold Vodka, Stirrings Club Soda and jumbo olives
• Late Night Comfort – House-made chocolate chip cookies and Rhody Fresh 2% milk
• Something Sweet – Reeses or KitKat King size, Stacy’s Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips and a can of Moxie

The Renaissance Providence Hotel features 272 guest-rooms, 10,000 square feet of state-of-the art meeting space, an independent freestanding destination restaurant and lounge, fitness center and a 49-room club level as well as a dramatic theater-like lobby with stunning views of the neighboring Rhode Island State House.

A nine-story addition, mirroring the Neo-Classical style of the hotel houses guest rooms and the conference/ballroom space and links the hotel with the VMA Arts and Cultural Center, home to the Rhode Island Philharmonic, Festival Ballet and Opera Providence as well as many fine arts performances.
