Sniffing Around The Crosby Street Hotel

Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park Tickles Your Olfactories With Jo Malone Tea

Where: 66 Knightsbridge, London, United Kingdom, SW1X 7LA

This time around Travelodge has announced that guests will now be able to choose a fragrance to have wafted about their room overnight while they sleep.
