Luxury hotel brands try to differentiate themselves in all kinds of ways. One (arguably) minor way they do so is by partnering with other luxury brands on their toiletry and skincare lines. While I’m not suggesting that you should pick a hotel brand because of the toiletries that they offer, I think I’m not alone in preferring some brands to others.
In this post, I’d like to share my favorite hotel toiletry brands, and then I’m curious to hear what brands OMAAT readers prefer. To be clear, my rankings are based purely on my perception of products and brands, from the packaging, to the scent, to how it feels using them, to memories I associate with them. I’m not claiming any authority with my opinion, so please don’t ask me to defend my preferences!
Still, I’m sure I’m not alone in getting more excited about some toiletry brands than others. I think it’s also interesting to reflect on how two major hotel brands have switched their toiletries brands in the past couple of years.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
