The only reason I can think is so that it's not part of the minibar for RA purposes but they need to offer it like this to everyone so it doesn't look like RA's are having their benefits dilutes.
Can any RA comment whether the hard liquor package is indeed chargeable for RA's or free.
Most of the items in this package are spirits but there's also Fanta and sparkling wine which seems odd.
The only reason i can think of for this are other guests and their monkey business of opening, drinking and refilling the bottles with water, or nicking them and saying it wasn't them at check-out. This is not too uncommon, particularily at some locations.
I highly doubt the hotel is doing this because of the one or two RA it's seeing a day.
