SONESTA BEVERAGE PROGRAM RFP 2022 - 2024

 
 
 

Welcome to the inaugural Sonesta Beverage Program RFP

Sonesta International Hotels Corporation has experienced tremendous growth in 2020 and 2021, and we are excited to launch our first beverage program this spring.

As we begin this process, we will be looking at brands and products that work across our distinctive and diverse portfolio, rolling out the beverage programming in a cadence that allows us to provide focused support to the hotels and their teams.

We are excited to learn more about your brands and look forward to creating meaningful partnerships.

Please review all the information on this site, paying particular attention to the Sonesta Insights & Program Priorities tab. Please use the RFP Submission page to submit the products you feel provide a direct benefit to our hotels and guests. 

The deadline for RFP submissions is Wednesday, February 16, 2022, 2pm EST

RFP INFORMATIONAL DECKS

The Sonesta Food & Beverage team will review all RFP submissions once the deadline date concludes. This RFP will focus on introducing a limited amount of beer, wine, and spirits to build a foundation for beverage menus throughout the diverse portfolio.  

 

The order of beverage program launch will be as follows:

PREMIUM BRANDS

Sonesta Select (63)       

Sonesta Hotels & Resorts (26)   

LIMITED SERVICE

Sonesta ES Suites (96)                         

Sonesta Simply Suites (65)                                

LUXURY

Royal Sonesta (16)                   

At this time, we will not be hosting in person sessions and will be hosting very limited virtual meetings – these will be announced to a select few suppliers after the RFP deadline submission.

Please submit 1 presentation deck that summarizes your KEY brands for priority consideration. As we navigate through the changing pandemic climate, we hope to arrange more in person meetings in the later half of the year.
