Rather than learning about the history of coffee, or how to brew the perfect cup, or a tasting of different blends, roasts or varieties, the class was really about how to make coffee-based cocktails, complete with bartender and lots of samples. We had a great time!<\/p>\n<p>The hotel also offered a towel folding class which we thought would be fun \u2013 we\u2019ve enjoyed the elephants and swans that have shown up on our beds at various hotels.
