Grand Hotel’s “Touch of Softness” private label sleep experience is available through the hotel and Lansing’s Capitol Bedding.<\/p><\/div>\n

Your hotel room is coming home with you. At least some of it is. And more than just the little shampoo and bottles you compulsively stash away and abscond with for your guest bathroom at home. The hotel industry is increasingly seeking to create an ongoing relationship with guests by sending items home with them.<\/p>\n

Fairmont Hotel guests, for instance, so enjoy the disconcerting, mysterious aroma of Le Labo Rose 31, the in-room shampoo, conditioner and soap amenities, they purchase full bottles or order them after a stay by logging on to FairmontStore.com. \u201cWe are convinced that Fairmont clients will remember their stay for all the good reasons plus a new and addictive Fairmont olfactive signature,\u201d say the creators of Le Labo.<\/p>\n

Want sweet dreams of Mackinac Island\u2019s lilacs, geraniums and fudge? \u201cGrand Hotel Touch of Softness\u201d private label bedding, complete with the green, Grand Hotel logo on the corner of the mattress, can be ordered while on the island or by calling Capitol Bedding, in Lansing, at 517-321-3932. You can visit the store’s website at www.capitolbedding.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who visit Grand Hotel come away with wonderful memories and a personal attachment to the hotel,\u201d says Capitol Bedding\u2019s Bill Beuerle. \u201cThey want to relive that comfortable experience every night in their own home, too.\u201d Capitol Bedding has been family owned since 1946 and each mattress and springs are hand made in Michigan.<\/p>\n

As a complimentary amenity, all Peninsula Hotels often gives young children its \u201cPeter Bear,\u201d an adorable teddy bear dressed in the distinctive uniform of a Peninsula Page. \u201cThey are also available for guests who book children\u2019s afternoon tea,\u201d says Peninsula spokesperson Stacy Lewis. \u201cThe bears can also be purchased at the \u2018Pen Boutique\u2019 – $12 for small; $20 for large.\u201d It is likely that guests will run into a larger than life Peter Bear in costume during their stay.<\/p>\n

If you get so wrapped up in your luxurious Four Seasons hotel robe that you simply must take it, do heed the signs that suggest the hotel will have to charge you should it make its\u2019 way into your suitcase. For a less guilty version of that guilty pleasure, visit Robeworks.com, since they produce robes for Four Seasons and plenty of other hotel companies plus major celebrities, including Harrison Ford and Oprah Winfrey. Robeworks will monogram your robe, deliver it, and make sure you have the perfect fit up to 5xl, so you can feel like you\u2019re at Four Seasons even at home.<\/p>\n
