Etymology
The term "la minibar" combines the Spanish article 'la' meaning 'the' with 'minibar,' a word borrowed from English. 'Minibar' itself is a blend of 'mini,' meaning small, and 'bar,' referring to a place where drinks are served. This concept became popular in hotels during the mid-20th century as a way to provide guests with private, in-room refreshments.
