What happened

Say goodbye to sad cold cuts and sweaty cheese, and say hello to the new age of hotel breakfasts, with Michelin-starred British classics in London, Champagne-fuelled feasts in Ibiza and pastry rooms in Dubai.

Why it matters

Hotel breakfasts are increasingly leaving cursory buffets behind – and not a moment too soon.

Common ground

A recent study from the University of Aveiro in Portugal found that 64% of hotel guests would return specifically because of an impressive breakfast, and hotels are clearly taking note.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
