Each room features a curated Lavazza amenity kit stocked with compostable coffee capsules, branded drinkware, and a QR code that unlocks entry to a summer sweepstakes and exclusive Lavazza content.
  • Café market: Guests can stop in the branded café market for a selection of Lavazza beverages, including the Summer Spitz, along with branded swag items as a gift with purchase.
