MONROE, Louisiana — The Hotel Monroe, a hotel within Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, has officially been recognized as the first full-service hotel in the US by the Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) as 100% gluten-free. This certification also is endorsed by the National Celiac Association (NCA).
With Heirloom Restaurant, Star Bar and Opera House Events all certified under GFFP standards, The Hotel Monroe is setting a new national benchmark in hospitality. Every dish served within the hotel and its event spaces is prepared in a certified gluten-free environment, free from wheat, barley, rye and common oats. Verification testing ensures meals remain under 20 parts-per-million (ppm) gluten, providing a safe and trusted dining experience for guests with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities.
This certification makes The Hotel Monroe a truly one-of-a-kind destination. Travelers and event guests across the United States can now enjoy the comfort of a full-service hotel where they never have to worry about gluten in their meals. Safety, trust and exceptional dining are at the heart of our guest experience. Michael Echols, owner of The Hotel Monroe
