If you thought room service was only the domain of time-starved business people getting overcharged for a mediocre club sandwich, think again.
A luxury hotel resort in Palm Desert, California has just unveiled a unique addition to their room service menu that will have food-challenge fans and Instagrammers alike falling over themselves to book a stay.
The JW Marriott Desert Springs has just introduced the DoNUT Disturb package, which includes a huge 10lb donut delivered directly to your room, along with an accompanying set of milkshakes. (Because everybody knows nothing washes down a donut like a milkshake.)
The beast of a donut-which looks like Homer Simpson's wildest fever dream come to life-is made with layers of Tahitian vanilla cake, raspberry jelly, cream, pink icing, fruity slivers of macarons and neon sprinkles.
Oh, and it costs a mere $219.
But do not fear; if you're not planning on visiting California before the end of October (when the package comes to an end), or you simply don't want to drop $200 on room service, here are your best alternatives for some of the coolest room service concepts around the USA.
