“Whether at an event, walking through the lobby on-the-go, or relaxing in the room, our guests can now enjoy their favorite coffees and teas throughout their stay with us,” said Rob Palleschi, global head, full-service brands, Hilton Worldwide. “We’re proud to partner with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and look forward to giving our guests the premium beverages they love at properties across our network.”
