Food and beverage is a part of any luxury travel experience. This is why luxury hotels and apartments from all over the world are exploring the realm of customized drinking experiences to provide travelers with the distinct  treatment they deserve.

Some of the front-runners for exclusive custom drinks are AKA, Fairmont, Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi.

According to www.travelweekly.com:

The beverage additions reflect a convergence of two trends most notable in the upper-end lodging segments: efforts by luxury hoteliers to differentiate themselves from a growing segment of hotels that are tapering off their goods and services offerings, and the growing demand for truly local experiences among travelers.
