Nearly 500 hotels that offer room service took part in the research, featuring respondents from the US, UK, France, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other bizarre requests staff have encountered included boiled bottled water, a giant serving of bison and blowfish – which can be poisonous if not prepared properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One respondent even requested a fish they had brought with them be cooked and served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The research found room service use is on the rise globally, according to almost four in 10 of the hotels surveyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nearly a third (30%) of travelers spend at least \u00a3100 ($124) on their room service bill per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Globally, burgers are the most popular item (40%), beating the classic club sandwich, pizza and even french fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For some, it\u2019s all about burgers in bed, although the most popular time for ordering is between 7 and 8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good orders are also evolving, with more than 55% of hotels seeing an increase in vegan orders over the past year, more so than vegetarian or dairy-free dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Melanie Fish, from Hotels.com, said: \u201cRoom service holds a special place in the hearts of hotel guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhether it’s a treat-yourself moment or must-have after a long day of sightseeing, there’s a certain satisfaction in having someone else foot the bill\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hotels.com<\/a> is encouraging travelers to make the most of room service during their next stay and will be giving 100 guests up to \u00a3100 to spend on their unusual requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TOP 10 UNUSUAL REQUESTS<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The post What are the weirdest room service requests?<\/a> appeared first on Talker<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[mailerlite_form form_id=2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From “diet water” to “melted ice cream” or blow fish – those are some of the most outrageous requests guests have asked for. <\/p>\n The post What are the weirdest room service requests?<\/a> appeared first on Talker<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":525,"featured_media":78924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[9136,13445,9077],"class_list":["post-78848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-lifestyle","tag-talker","tag-travel","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/525"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=78848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=78848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=78848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=78848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/talker.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-cottonbro-studio-6466301-1024x682.jpg\")
