Hotel Etiquette: What Can I Take?

Most hotels want you to feel at home in your room. From complimentary pens to soap and shampoo, they will fill it with goodies to make your stay more comfortable. You may want to take some of these things home with you. Certain items, such as the complimentary hotel shampoo, are given to you to take with you. So, before you start stuffing your suitcase with goodies, take time to find out what you can and cannot take from your hotel room.

What you can take from your hotel room

Anything that is free is free. This includes small bottles of hotel shampoo, conditioner, hotel body lotion, coffee, creamer and sugar packets, and other bathroom items. Hotel slippers will be thrown away after you leave, so it's okay if you want to pack them for later use. Stationery, pens, notepaper, postcards, and envelopes are also gifts for you - as they carry their logo, the hotel will consider these for free advertising.

What you can't take from your hotel room

According to Hilton Kingston's housekeeping department, guests often bring towels, irons, hairdryers, pillows, and blankets. Cable TV boxes, clock radios, paintings, ashtrays, light bulbs, TV remote controls. However, all these items belong to the hotel and can only be left in the room.

Eco Basic Hotel Toiletries

In most cases, bathrobes should also be left behind. Many hotels do wash them for the next guest - but in some high-end hotels, guests may receive a robe with a combination of letters on it as a gift. If you're not sure if something is free, you can call reception to double-check.

Other items commonly found in hotels

At the Hilton Curaçao, guests usually bring the mug that comes with their breakfast to their room so that they can "finish their coffee". In fact, these mugs are so popular that they disappear every day, although they can be bought in the gift shop.

Consequences of taking hotel property

If you take something from your hotel room, you may be charged extra on your bill. Bathrobes and towels are so vulnerable to theft that many hotels are now marking the hangers with a charge; they will automatically charge the credit card they have on file for the additional cost of replacing these items.

How to turn your room into a hotel suite?

If you want to take something home with you, many hotels have online shops that are perfect for those who dream of turning their bedroom oasis into a hotel suite. On these sites, you can buy all your favorite items from the hotel, from their plush towels and 700 count sheets to their lamps, showerheads, and beds. Whether you're a fan of Hilton's Serenity beds or Mariott's canvas art and aromatherapy machines, you won't have to leave luxury living behind when you get home.

The best part? Everything is brand new, so you don't have to worry about packing it all into a suitcase.
