If you've been missing hotels over the last six months or more, we feel you. There's nothing like that feeling of being pampered and taken care of, to have everything clean and organized in a familiar way. Walking into a favorite hotel's lobby can feel as good or even better than crossing your own threshold. They have those extra touches that aren't usually part of everyday life (unless you're one of the ultra-wealthy) like room service, rooftop pools, a room with a view, and perfectly decorated lobbies. So it makes all the sense in the world that you'd be homesick for hotels – especially if the cabin fever is kicking in.

That's why we rounded up 20 items that give you that special feeling of hotel glam, from champagne buckets to toiletries. Each item on this list is either from a hotel brand's line or with that luxury suite vibe, like you've been whisked away to the Plaza in New York, the Peninsula in Hong Kong or the Le Sirenuse in Positano, Italy. All you need to do is indulge in these little details now, set them up on arrival, click your heels three times, and say "there's no place like home-away-from-home." 

Hotel Astor Crystal Whiskey Tumblers

From 1904 through the midcentury, the Hotel Astor was one of the best places to see and be seen in New York City, even earning mention in Cole Porter's 1939 tune "Well, Did You Evah!" Its mens-only bar earned a deputation not only as a sophisticated hangout where the likes of Mark Twain and Buffalo Bill were known to have a tipple, , but also a discreet meeting place for members of the LGBTQIA+ set. Though the Astor was demolished in 1967, it lives on in memory, and in these gorgeous reproduction whiskey tumblers from The History Company. They pair of highballs are made of 1-pound of lead-free crystal and are dishwasher safe.

Bliss Spa's Lemon and Sage Soapy Suds

 

According to a survey by a German spa of what items most frequently go missing from hotels, German and British guests in particular tend to take the hotel toiletries. Between travel restrictions on liquids and gels and hotels stocking salon-quality goodies, we don't blame travelers for wanting to bring their tiny shampoos and soaps along for the ride. Especially when the product in question is Bliss Spa's Lemon and Sage Soapy Suds, which have been offered by both The W and Aloft Hotels. The vegan and cruelty-free formula has aloe leaf extract and glycerin to keep your skin silky smooth after the suds do their work on any dirt.

This sampler pack includes Fez, Jasmine Silver Tip, Mao Feng Shui, White Petal, Brahmin, Bungalow, Kandy, Lord Bergamot, Masala Chai, Big Hibiscus, Meadow, Peppermint, and Red Nectar varieties, fresh from Portland, Oregon.
