Best Hotel Amenity You've Seen?
 

Hi,

I'm working on a project. Can you share your best in-room gift or amenity you've had in a hotel?

thanks

The Four Seasons outside of Puerta Vallarta had nice sized L'Occitane products that were replaced daily if I tucked them away :)
Also I really appreciated the fresh produce set out in room daily.

Westin La Paloma in Tucson came in at 7 p.m. to turn down the sheets and put a Ghirardelli chocolate on the pillow. Just kind of a nice touch.

I really like the Radisson (not sure if they all do but the Augusta, GA and SLC do) free manager's evening hospitality hour -- free drinks and appetizers.

Once stayed at Bally's and they gave me a free show ticket. It was a package (air and hotel) deal booked with my travel agent, so maybe it wasn't really free. LOL!

I've had Bath and Body Works lotions and shampoos at one place. Can't remember which hotel.

I really like the Hampton Inn lapdesks - nice to be able to lounge and use your laptop.

We recently stayed at the Kaupalua Bay Renaissance in Maui.
We walked in to music playing in our room. On the nightstand, there was a cd player and a couple of Hawaiian music cd's for us to enjoy.
Every night, they would turn down our bed and put a different little fish pin with a story of the fish on our pillow.

Kiehl's bath and hair products at The Raleigh in South Beach. Hands down.

Tar remover at the Fourways Inn in Bermuda
Moulton Brown soaps and lotions at the Waldorf Hilton, London
champagne, fruit and chocolates at the Hyatt downtown Seattle

Does the amenity count if we were not in a hotel in the US?

Anyway, at a Mandarin Oriental there were name cards on the desk to give out to friends. They said
---- ----- is a guest at the Mandarin Oriental during his stay in Hong Kong.
Just like a business card. Then the hotel information.

I still get a kick out of remembering that!

Brandy with two cordial glasses sitting between two wingbacked chairs facing music cds of Ireland. This was in Dromoland Castle near Shannon.

Kiehl's Products in The Carlyle.

I got about half a dozen of those calling cards with my name on them at a lovely boutique hotel in Montreal. The hotel information was on the back of the card. It was a small suite and the kitchen area was supplied with everything you'd need if you wanted to have company (which we did) -- wine glasses, linen napkins, silverware -- and none of it was plastic.

I really like the "Heavenly Beds".

At the Enchantment Resort in Sedona, complimentary bottled waters(with their logo)were left every evening. Every morning orange juice was left in a little bucket outside the door along with a USA Today. They also had wine glasses---we would have a glass of wine on the terrace or in front of the fireplace every night---so much nicer to drink wine out of wine glasses.

At the Bellagio, a CD was left on our pillow one night. We were celebrating my husband's birthday.

A small box of luxury chocolates and a small basket of fruits nightly at the <b>Conrad Hong Kong</b>. A small teddy bear on the bed and a rubber ducky in the tub. Free finger food and sushi together with top shelf liquor at the Executive lounge nightly. Total luxury and views of the Hong Kong harbor can't be beat.

Love this hotel!

The Conrad Bangkok is a very close second. Instead of a teddy bear, this hotel gives you a little stuffed elephant and the famous rubber ducky in the tub! :-D

Wow, AAFrequent Flyer! I'm travelling with you!

Bangkok and Singapore really have it right when talking about customer service. I think my favorite was in Singapore where our &quot;butler&quot; pointed out a big wicker basket in a corner. &quot;Put your personal laundry in it and we'll do it&quot;. We tested it the first day thinking we needed to pay to have a couple shirts done anyway, but found it was free -- all of it, done daily and returned to the room by mid afternoon. Our white sweat socks turned brown from our hiking boots after a long very hot day at the zoo came back laundered with a note of apology that they couldn't get them sparkling white. First time my jockey shorts had ever been ironed -- and for free.

In New Orleans one trip, Mrs Kal found a small vibrator in the dresser at the Sheraton on Canal St.

We thought maybe the Southern Gideons were getting quite progressive.
:-?

what's your project, island mom? i have a lot of answers, but i'm shy that way.

Kal: I knew I left that thing somewhere!!
...always losing things! Ha!
