Loews Hotels & Co Launches "Free Spirited" Programming

The brand-wide program invites guests to enjoy handcrafted low and no-ABV beverage options with local flavor 

NEW YORK, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Loews Hotels & Co, the brand behind 25 hotels and resorts across the United States and Canada, proudly announces the debut of their Free Spirited by Loews Hotels program. As one of the pioneering hotel brands to embrace the growing trend of mindful consumption, Free Spirited by Loews Hotels will provide elevated and bespoke hotel bar programming for those who choose to imbibe less or not at all.

As part of Loews' commitment to "welcoming you like family," the brand continues to create judgment-free environments designed to accommodate guests of all ages, abilities, and lifestyles. With this program, Loews Hotels will showcase their respective, on-site mixology talent crafting impressive libations focusing on locally sourced ingredients and unique flavor combinations.

"At Loews Hotels, we recognize that our guests have varying preferences when it comes to beverage choices, and we are dedicated to providing an inclusive and elevated experience for all," said Mark Weiss, Senior Vice President Food and Beverage at Loews Hotels & Co. "Free Spirited by Loews Hotels underscores our commitment to innovation and guest-centricity, and we are looking forward to showcasing our properties' mixology teams and their expertise."

Beyond the bar, Free Spirited by Loews Hotels will seamlessly integrate into catering and event planning, offering a curated selection of non-alcoholic beverages that are as thoughtful and intricate as their alcoholic counterparts. Moreover, this program will be infused into tentpole, brand-wide programming throughout the year, such as the brand's annual Summerfest, further fulfilling the holistic approach to preference accommodation.

Low & No Beverage Offerings

Beverage selections will differ at each property, reflecting the availability of local suppliers, popular flavors in the region, and the creativity of the mixologists. Guests can expect uniquely delicious options across the brand portfolio. Sample menu highlights include:
