Showcasing Local Ingredients, the New Initiative Will Be Available 
Across Loews Hotels F&B Outlets

NEW YORK, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Loews Hotels is excited to unveil Freshly Rooted by Loews Hotels, a culinary program that brings sustainability to the forefront of its food and beverage offerings. Available now, Loews properties will serve unique, hand-crafted salads made from locally sourced ingredients, reinforcing the brand's commitment to responsible sourcing, supporting local farms, and providing guests with fresh, flavorful dishes rooted in regional agriculture.

Similar to Loews' beloved beverage program, which celebrates regional flavors and artisanal ingredients, the Freshly Rooted by Loews Hotels initiative will feature a rotating selection of salads showcasing the best of each destination's local harvest. Sourced from trusted regional purveyors, each salad will be crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients that align with Loews' broader sustainability goals while promoting the well-being of guests.

"Freshly Rooted by Loews Hotels not only supports local farmers but also ensures our guests enjoy meals made from natural, healthy, and responsibly sourced ingredients. By collaborating with local purveyors, sustainability becomes an essential part of the Loews dining experience."

Each salad will showcase locally sourced ingredients, from farms and purveyors, offering guests a deeper connection to the sustainability practices behind every dish. This initiative will launch across the Loews portfolio, featuring unique offerings in restaurants and outlets, with plans to expand into banquet and meeting experiences—ensuring sustainability is woven into every dining occasion, from casual meals to corporate events and large-scale gatherings.
