It depends on whether you want visibility and merchandising or a more discreet, bedroom-friendly look.

Glass-door mini bars: good when you want guests to see premium drinks and upsell items, and they can suit suites, lounges, and serviced apartments. Potential downsides are more light in a dark room, fingerprints, and in some layouts a more “retail” appearance.

Solid-door mini bars: often preferred for standard bedrooms because they look cleaner in fitted furniture, help reduce visible clutter, and keep light contained.

If you use a glass door in bedrooms, look for practical features that support guest use and operations, such as LED lighting, a door lock (if required), and adjustable shelving to fit your intended stock list.
