Business hotels have many similar rooms, short stays and guests who need to sleep. The minibar must be silent, efficient and quick to manage.
Minibars for business and city hotels
Scenario
A business hotel is best served by one standard silent, efficient minibar repeated in every room: 30 litres is enough for short stays, declared consumption multiplies across dozens of rooms and a lock protects the assortment.
In the PAMIBAR range, SG30T, SEA30 and S30T are declared at 0 dBA, using 0.52 to 0.75 kWh/24h.
What matters in a city hotel
- Silence: business guests sleep few hours and need them to count.
- Efficiency: consumption multiplies across many rooms.
- Uniformity: one model simplifies restocking and spare parts.
- A lock, available as an option, to protect the assortment.
- An essential assortment for one- or two-night stays.
