Luxury Gift Items from Hotels Around the World

[Photo by Sasha • Stories]

Whenever I go on vacation, no stay at a hotel is complete without a visit to the hotel gift shop. It’s the perfect place to pick up a memento (or several) that will forever remind me of my trip and bring part of the hotel experience home with me.

Some of the best parts of staying in a hotel (besides room service, of course) are the luxurious bedding, plush bathrobes, cute bathroom toiletries, signature aromatherapy, and of course, the hotel pens that we all love to stuff into our purses as keepsakes!

If you’ve caught yourself saying, “I wish I could buy this” during a visit to a hotel, now you have the chance to order some of the most coveted luxury gift items from hotels around the world including The Beverly Hills Hotel, Langham Hotels & Resorts, Montage Hotels, Rosewood, and many others. While many of us can’t travel to our favorite places at the moment, we can recreate some of our favorite hotel experiences at home with amazing candles, bedding, decor, houseware, and more.

Another great gift idea is to purchase a gift card or certificate for your loved ones that can be used during a future vacation (not to mention that it’s a great way to support the hotel industry right now!) Read on to discover and shop some of our favorite luxury gift items from around the world:
