Atlanta Ritz adds earrings to minibars

The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta, the first hotel in the country to stock guestroom minibars with black socks, realized that male travelers aren't the only ones who sometimes forget to pack little essentials. So, the hotel recently expanded the usual assortment of snacks and beverages to include earrings.

The earrings are packaged in colorful pouches and tucked into club-level guestroom minibars. Each pouch holds a set of cultured pearls with sterling silver posts or sterling silver studs. Guests pay $20 for the earrings; the socks run $6.

"We cater to busy executives-men and women-Monday through Friday, and we've tried to anticipate things that provide an immediate solution to an unexpected need," says James P. McManemon, Jr., general manager. "The earrings are something that a weekend guest might find interesting, too."
