Looking for an allergy-friendly room when you visit Manhattan? The Premier boutique hotel claims to be home to the only "pure" allergy-friendly rooms in New York.
The interesting thing is that through the Pure rooms concept--they have 16 rooms that are fitted with extra-hypo-allergenic pillow cases, mattress covers, and so on--The Premier has figured out that all of its guests could benefit from the flashy Lather toiletry collection (As Seen on "America's Most Smartest Model!"), not just the allergy-sensitive guests. The hotel recentlyl upgraded the amenities throughout the entire 125 room-hotel to the Lather Bamboo Creme collection; similar to the products in use at the Borgata in Atlantic City.
This is not the only up side to The Premier. It's also well located just off Times Square which makes it easy to get to plenty of great New York hot spots.
But if pure products and luxury amenities aren't what you care about in a hotel stay, The Premier also offers services like the Premier Lounge, where you can get free breakfast, hors d'oeuvres and beer or wine in the afternoon, and all day long, continuous snacks. Sounds like something for everyone.
The June Jacobs skincare line has been around since 1999 but recently its spa collection has been making its way into high-end hotels across the U.S. We got our hands on some samples courtesy of the Hilton Short Hills which has started carrying the products on their club floor.
All the products carry a "high concentrations of botanical and plant extracts" which means they smell really nice like the Citrus Cleansing Bar, the Cranberry Pomegranate Moisture Masque and the Citrus Body Balm. Plus, they won't dry your skin out like other no-name toiletries will do.
If you feel you deserve to stay in a 5-star hotel but your wallet just can't agree with you, then Flight 001 has a new product which will help solve your dilemma. The 5-Star Hotel Kit is the magic bag to turn your budget hotel room into a 5-star (along with a healthy piece of imagination to improve the decor and the comfort of the bed).
The 5-Star Hotel Kit is a zip pouch containing the kinds of amenities that give your hotel stay a luxury feel, including Malin+Goetz toiletries, a pear-scented travel candle, some Dylan's Candy chocolate and even a "Do Not Disturb" door hanger. The online retail price for the kit is $38, which is usually a fair bit cheaper than upgrading your hotel. Unfortunately it doesn't contain a friendly turn-down service or free Wifi, but perhaps they're working on that.
HotelChatter reader Dan sent us a photo of all the toiletries he's gathered this year, saying:
I just was doing some cleaning, and just piled all my soaps/etc.. from this year (yes 2007), and thought i'd take a picture, because I thought it was funny.. I usually take the shampoos and goodies so I don't have to stock up on travel stuff throughout the year, but I didn't realize I had this much from this year.
Now, the question is...can he place every toiletry to a hotel? Obviously, the Mickey toothpaste, and the MGM Grand, the Venetian and Ritz-Carlton ones are easy.
