The new offering, designed for the modern traveler who appreciates immersive and enriching experiences, underscores the brands' undeniable synergy and shared values. It also further enhances the Cambria Hotels experience and diversifies the collection of hyper-local craft beers and signature specialty cocktails with the addition of Cambria Estate Winery's single vineyard, sustainable, award-winning wines. Guests can enjoy Cambria Hotels' rooftop bars with panoramic views after a long day of work or adventure, catch up with a friend at a firepit on one of the hotel patios or toast to a day well spent in the comfort of their contemporary guestrooms, all while enjoying a glass of Cambria Estate Winery's world-class wines.
Travelers' needs surrounding the hotel food and beverage experience shifted due to the pandemic, with more people enjoying an in-room alcoholic beverage or at one of Cambria Hotels' outdoor spaces — the rooftop, the patio or pool. This new offering provides guests with an opportunity to indulge while simultaneously gaining new knowledge of a world renowned brand and safely social distancing. Throughout 2021, select Cambria hotels will also host interactive Corks & Crafts events, pairing wines and craft beers with locally inspired dishes to create unique on-site tasting experiences for Cambria hotel guests across the country who are passionate about lifetime learning and cultural experiences that represent an authentic taste of the destination they are exploring. Whether it's a local craft beer flight or a personal Cambria Estate wine tasting, through QR codes strategically placed on bar/restaurant menus and bottles in the marketplace, there is always an opportunity for another educational touchpoint that demonstrates what is special about these curated offerings.
