Aloft is changing the way you breakfast.

Marriott International announced Friday the hotel brand launched a new food and beverage program that includes an innovative breakfast format.

The program, dubbed Re:fuel by Aloft, will include the creation of 13 portable breakfast pots, which can be purchased at more than 90 Aloft Hotels across the United States. After a testing period, the hotel brand plans to roll the program out at Aloft Hotels worldwide.

Travelers will be treated to balanced and fresh breakfast food items such as freshly poached eggs, avocado, quinoa, lemon ricotta pancakes, sweet potato hash, cheddar grits and more.

"Most Aloft Hotels don't have a full-service restaurant on-site, so we came up with this non-traditional approach to ensure our guests can still enjoy a hot, made-to-order breakfast before they leave for the day," Aloft Hotels Global Brand Director Bridget Higgins said in a statement.

"Aloft Hotel guests are always ahead of the curve, and with foodie culture becoming more and more prevalent, we wanted to offer them something that felt relevant to them," Higgins continued. "The Re:fuel breakfast pots provide guests with a quick and easy way to get a fresh breakfast before a day of meetings or sight-seeing, all in a stylish, fun container that they can take with them on the go."

To take advantage of the breakfast options, guests place their order through innovative digital kiosks and the food is custom-made just for them. The hotel is working hard to put a new and innovative twist on much-loved breakfast menu items.
