Well, wouldn't you know that we just so happened to stumble upon one of the industry's best kept sec

Last week, while having a drink in the lobby of the Renaissance hampton inn chicago Denver Downtown hampton inn chicago - we opened the bar menu to take a peek at the fare. Amongst the typical city-priced items, we noticed that one option stood out from the rest.
It looked hampton inn chicago strange and out of place, that last item with the peculiar price tag: 99 cent homeamde chips and dip. Was this a mistake? If soft pretzels are $8, and almonds $6... were the chips stale or something? We immediately put our hand in the air for the bartender to come over. We pointed at the menu. Are you serious hampton inn chicago with these chips?
Well, wouldn't you know that we just so happened to stumble upon one of the industry's best kept secrets. Turns out, all 157 Renaissance Hotels around hampton inn chicago the world have featured 99 cent chips on their bar menus since 2010 . We've always been told to never question a good thing, but that simply hampton inn chicago doesn't work for a writer. Why, in a world where, quite frankly, hampton inn chicago hotel guests have become complacent and accepting of overpaying for food and beverage, would a hotel do such a thing?
Apparently, despite all our journalistic efforts to uncover hampton inn chicago an evil motive, it's just a solid move by Renaissance. And, while it doesn't necessarily apply to the property in Denver (hatch chiles hampton inn chicago are from New Mexico), the hotels try to use local ingredients and influences from the area to create the salsa recipe. The property in Seattle, for example, serves hampton inn chicago Walla Walla onion dip with its chips.
"We keep it at 99 cents mainly because we want to show that you can still get something delicious hampton inn chicago at minimal cost," said Catherine Leitner, Global Senior Director of Public Relations for Renaissance, via email. "We actually don�t make money on the chips - in actuality, we probably lose a little hampton inn chicago money - it�s just a nice 'to do' in lieu of your standard peanut bowl."
We don't feel bad for Renaissance (any money it loses on the chips it makes up for in $8 pretzels), but we sure as hell appreciate the gesture. Suddenly, a trip to the lobby bar seems a little more approachable and appealing. Unless, of course, you're overly fond of peanuts.
