minibar

Stocked room fridge

A minibar is a small refrigerator stocked with beverages and snacks, typically found in hotel rooms.

Guests help themselves and charges appear on their bill at checkout.

The contents are usually overpriced: I paid eight dollars for a tiny bottle of water from the minibar.

Some minibars have sensors that automatically charge when items are moved.
