25 Cool & Awesome Things Some Creative Hotels Did

5K

If you travel a lot, and especially if you’re brand loyal (granted, we’re not and we kind of love it that way), a hotel room is a hotel room. But every once in a while, you’ll find a hotel with a designer and/or staff that go(es) the extra distance to do some fun, interesting and/or creative stuff. Like these:

1. The nightstand light that can be half-lit, half off.

2. A hotel that incorporates landscaping into its facade

3. The hotel that encourages stealing its stationary

4. The phone in your room that has an option for bedtime stories on its phone system

5. The hotel that gives you a rubber ducky for your bath

6. The hotel that has a catalog of pillows and blankets for you to choose from (I adore this idea!)

7. The hotel that gives you a checklist of things to remember to take when you leave – including the toiletries

8. This hotel leaves a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the room, instead of a religious book

9. This hotel’s policy regarding pets

10. The hotel that reminds people of what the important things are in life (we stayed at that hotel a few years back. It’s also the one with the orange dog sculpture in each room – 2nd one on this list)

11. The hotel room with the mirror that doesn’t steam up (we’ve stayed in a hotel with one of those mirrors, too. Joe was so impressed with it that when we redid our guest bathroom, we got the same kind of mirror. It has a heating element inside)

12. The hotel that encourages you to donate unwanted items to the needy

13. The Do Not Disturb sign that tells it like it is

14. The front desk that gives stuff if you win their challenges

15. The hotel that sends requested toilet paper rolls via robot

16. The hotel that built custom bookshelves for these specific books in this specific order

17. The towel rack that includes a dark-colored towel specifically for makeup

18. The hotel pool that’s in two states

19. The sewing kit that comes with pre-threaded needles

20. In case you get lonely in your room

21. The mirror by the hotel elevator that tells you the weather outside

22. The hotel that actively tries to reduce their chemical load on the environment (this photo is older – nowadays all the hotels are doing it. Some still say it’s for the environment, but most just don’t want to pay housekeeping, so they say it’s because of COVID and “cleanliness”)

23. The hotel curtains that overlap so there’s no crack for daylight to peek through

24. The hotel that uses fresh honey for their breakfast buffet

25. And finally my favorite – yes, this hotel really does clean under the beds! LOLOL!
