Loews Hotels has introduced a new culinary initiative called Freshly Rooted by Loews Hotels, which emphasizes sustainability in its food and beverage offerings. This program is now available at various Loews properties, where guests can enjoy hand-crafted salads made from locally sourced ingredients. This move highlights the brand’s commitment to responsible sourcing, supporting local farms, and providing fresh dishes that reflect regional agriculture.
Similar to its beverage program that focuses on regional flavors, the Freshly Rooted initiative will feature a rotating selection of salads that showcase local harvests. Each salad is created using seasonal ingredients sourced from trusted regional suppliers, aligning with Loews’ sustainability objectives and promoting guest well-being.
Mark Weiss, Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage & Design, stated, “Honest food and honest partnerships are the core of our approach.” The initiative not only supports local farmers but also ensures that guests receive meals made from natural and responsibly sourced ingredients.
The salads will connect guests with the sustainability practices behind the dishes. Freshly Rooted will be implemented across the Loews portfolio, with unique offerings available in restaurants and outlets, and plans to extend into banquet and meeting services. This ensures that sustainability is integrated into every dining experience, from casual meals to large corporate events.
Sample offerings include a Beet & Citrus Salad at Loews Arlington Hotel, a Local Burrata Salad at Loews Miami Beach Hotel, a Little Gem Salad at Loews Chicago Hotel, a California Niçoise Salad at Loews Coronado Bay Resort, and a Stillwell Salad at Loews Kansas City Hotel.
Loews Hotels’ commitment to sustainability is evident in its approach to dining. The Freshly Rooted initiative is part of a broader effort to provide healthier food options, focusing on responsibly sourced ingredients devoid of artificial additives. By collaborating with local suppliers, Loews ensures that all ingredients are Certified Humane and traceable, supporting both environmental sustainability and community well-being.
