1.Kimpton's Wild Side Trolley Suitcases
We've already professed our love for the animal-print suitcases from Kimpton but we are loving the new giraffe print from Japanese designer Hideo Wakamatsu. The suitcases both feature hard ABS shells and silent-rolling wheels. Plus, you'll always be able to easily identify your bag on the baggage carousel. And even better, all proceeds from the suitcase purchase goes towards the Kimpton fave charity, Dress for Success.
Price: $220-$280.

2. Hotel Bathrobes
We've actually purchased a hotel bathrobe twice in our life and have not regretted it once. Except for the fact that we could have bought one at Macy's for cheap. But did it have the luxury resort logo on it? No. Thus your hotel geek will totally appreciate a robe emblazoned with the name and logo of his or her favorite hotel. Some ones we recommend? A pink robe from the Beverly Hills Hotel (pictured), a preppy robe with reading glasses on it from the The Study at Yale hotel (on the school's campus) or a Thompson Hotels bathrobe with those strange initials/hieroglyphics.
Price: Varies but usually a $100 and up. Call specific hotel to order.

3. Jonathan Adler Creations for W Hotels
The W Hotel Store is one hotel gift shop that actually goes beyond bedding, towels and pet beds. The online site sells everything from cute dresses to jewelry to baby clothes and even USB flash drives. It's crazy! But what we really like are the Jonathan Adler pottery creations like the Wonder and Lust candle because they have the W sensibility without seeming like it came from a hotel gift shop.
Price: From $38.

4. Westin Heavenly Bed
This is a big ticket item so you should probably get this for a hotel geek that you will be spending a lot of time sleeping with. That said, the Westin Heavenly bed is the most popular sort of hotel bed. It comes with a custom-designed 13" pillow top mattress with 8 3/4" box spring, five pillows; two feather and down pillows, two hypo-allergenic pillows and one boudoir pillow and cover. Also included are a duvet cover with an overstuffed polyester insert, down blanket, bed skirt, top sheet, middle sheet, bottom sheet and pillow cases.
Price: $2,570 (for a queen bed) and up.

5. Hotel Gift Cards: The surest way to please the hotel geek in your life is by gifting them with a hotel stay. A ton of hotels are offering gift cards and some of these you can even purchase at one of those Gift Card Malls in your local grocery stores. If you are willing to dole out a lot of money for your hotel geek, the Four Seasons gift card takes balances up to $100,000.
Price: Depends on how much you like the person.
