What Are Luxury Guests Drinking in 2026? Lavazza, Nestlé Premium Waters and PepsiCo's Poppi on the Drinks That Define the Stay
Guests now choose what they drink with the same care they choose where they stay. The coffee, the water, and the soda on the menu each say something about the property. Lavazza, Nestlé Premium Waters, and PepsiCo’s Poppi shape those choices at luxury hotels. All three will be at INSPIRE Luxury Hospitality Conference in Orlando, Dec 15-16, 2026.
Why Are Guests Paying Closer Attention to What They Drink?
Guests read a drinks menu the way they read a wine list. They look at where a water comes from, what goes into a soda, and how a coffee is roasted. A lower-sugar option is now expected beside the classics. Every choice on the menu signals the property’s standard.
At INSPIRE, 78% of the audience is VP or C-Suite: the executives who decide what makes the menu.
What Does Lavazza Bring to the Luxury Coffee Program?
Luigi Lavazza founded Lavazza in Turin in 1895. The third and fourth generations of the family run it today. The company roasts in Turin, Gattinara, and Pozzilli, and its coffee reaches more than 90 countries. It brings that heritage to coffee professionals, including the hotel teams serving it at breakfast, in the lounge, and in the room.
Through the International Luxury Hotel Association, Lavazza has delivered more than 1,150 product samples across the US and Europe. Lavazza is the exclusive coffee partner of INSPIRE 2026.
What Does the Water Say About the Table?
Nestlé Premium Waters, part of a Nestlé business present in 185 countries, brings Acqua Panna and S.Pellegrino to luxury hotels. Acqua Panna flows underground for 14 years through Tuscan sandstone and clay. S.Pellegrino travels for 30 years through the Italian Alps to San Pellegrino Terme. Perrier comes from the south of France. Acqua Panna and S.Pellegrino champion The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy.
In a hotel restaurant, the water is often the first thing ordered, and it stays on the table through every course. At INSPIRE 2026, Nestlé Premium Waters will serve a personalized wellness drink paired with charcuterie. The team will be in Orlando to meet the executives who set the F&B standard.
Why Is Poppi on the Luxury Menu?
Poppi is a prebiotic soda made with fruit juice and apple cider vinegar, with no more than 5 grams of sugar per serving. Stephen and Allison Ellsworth started it as a home-brewed recipe in Austin, Texas, before taking it to Shark Tank and national retail. PepsiCo acquired Poppi in 2025. Flavors include Strawberry Lemon, Raspberry Rose, Ginger Lime, and Classic Cola.
For a hotel, Poppi puts a lower-sugar soda in the minibar, at the pool, and on the bar menu, with PepsiCo’s distribution behind it. At INSPIRE 2026, the Poppi team will be in Orlando to meet the executives who build the beverage program.
Where Can Hotel Executives Taste Them in Person?
INSPIRE 2026 is the 17th annual edition. It takes place at the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa. Orlando, Florida. Dec 15-16, 2026. Lavazza, Nestlé Premium Waters, and PepsiCo’s Poppi will all be there.
