The Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA takes the Chocolate theme to their guest rooms. Their ammenities include pure cocoa butter soap and cocoa butter body scrub (smells heavenly). I have to admit, and I can't tell you why, I just love those tiny little bottles in the bathrooms of the upscale hotels.

An infrared mini-bar is one with sensors so if you even touch something in the mini-bar, it automatically charges your account. The only place I've seen them was at The Venetian.

They also have the infrared minibars at the Bellagio in Vegas.

Has anyone else noticed that some of the nicer hotels in California are leaning toward bath products with natural or herbal ingredients? I think it's nice because they are clean-smelling, but not too feminine-smelling for the guys. Yes, by the way, those infared minibars are another pet peeve of many of us these days! What a way to end your visit to a hotel - by being overcharged for something you didn't consume!

City Club in NYC has Hermes amenities which are great. I always take my own stuff anyway... and you want to hear something hilarious?
When I stay somewhere with great amenities I collect it all and my teen daughter sells it on eBay for extra money. My Bulgari stuff collected on a recent stay fetched 38.00!
How's that for crazy?

I don't know if I would call it crazy.

Hotels are starting to provide lower-cost bath products, while providing a basketful of the deluxe items with $4.50 and $6.50 price tags on the tiny items. We'll see how many people choose the Aveda when it's $6.50 a pop.

I work in the hotel/travel industry and have not heard of anyone doing this... novel idea but not if you are paying 200+ per night.
