American plan (AP) in hotels

American plan (AP) in hotels is a hotel meal package in which the room rate includes all three daily meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

This plan is standard in hotels where guests will likely spend most of their time on-site and may not have easy access to restaurants nearby. It also benefits travelers who prefer not to search for outside dining and helps hotels capture more revenue through food and beverage services.

Unlike all-inclusive plans, AP does not typically include snacks or alcoholic beverages.
