Offering your guests the most comfortable stay is the number one priority of any hotel, and in-room products and facilities rank highly on this scale, ensuring guests have everything to hand to rest up, clean up and snack up.

 

We have brought together the latest and most innovative hotel room offerings in the food and beverage, wellness and bathroom amenities segments to ensure your guests will be singing your praises long after they check out.

 

Delightful drinking

Hygienic tea-making

 

The Teapy T-4-1 is a complete tea service that offers a mug and lid that acts as somewhere to rest a used teabag or infuser. The lid ensures in-room mugs stay clean while acting like a teapot, keeping brewed tea hot. The Teapy T-4-1 set can be easily carried in one hand, with a milk jug on top if needed.

 

Quality in-room espresso

 

Illy’s ESE Pods Machine is available in red, white and black. The compact espresso machine incorporates energy-saving technology and supports illy’s fully compostable ESE Pods, which use biodegradable-friendly filter paper.

 

Snacking in style

Ferrero Rocher for turndown time

 

Ferrero Rocher’s T2 packs add a touch of luxury to a turndown service or can be offered as part of a tea and coffee service to help make that all-important point of difference. Each pack contains two Ferrero Rochers, combining a smooth filling and crispy wafer covered in milk chocolate and hazelnut pieces.

 

Organic Hebridean biscuits

 

Island Bakery has created a two-pack version of its Isle of Mull biscuits for hotel rooms. The biscuits are available in five varieties – Lemon Melts, Orange Melts, Apple Crumbles, Oat Crumbles, Shortbread and Chocolate Gingers – and come in cases of 48 x 25g packs or in 40 x 30g for the Chocolate Gingers variety. Island Bakery recipes use organic ingredients that are 100% traceable and only ever use pure butter, rather than margarine or palm oil.

 

Menu covers made from apples

 

Tudor Jones & Co, based in Broadstairs, Kent, crafts luxury menu covers and folders using sustainable apple skin leather and an eco-friendly book cloth made from recycled sea plastics.

 

The racing green outer of the menu cover is Uppeal, which uses 40% of apple waste from South Tyrol, Italy. It is malleable like leather, but doesn’t have the sticky feeling typical of plastic alternatives. The supplier can create smooth corners and sharp turns with Uppeal, and can blind deboss or foil deboss logos into the material without any cracking or distortion.

 

The inside of the cover is made from Toile Ocean eco-friendly woven book cloth, created using rPET plastics collected from the Andaman Sea in south east Asia by fisherman working for fair wages.

 

Wellness wonders

Self-heating eye masks for luxury relaxation

 

Sensory Retreats has introduced a self-heating eye mask range for a luxury turndown guest experience. The eight masks in the range – Sparkle, Divine, Amour, Dreamy, Luna, Aurora, Sensory or Escape – come in unscented versions or with the essence of chamomile, rose, lavender or jasmine.

 

The masks are available in single sachets or boxes of five and seven. Each mask also has its own QR code to download a free audio gift, ranging from a crystal healing sound bath or a guided meditation, to a specially curated classical piano piece performed by renowned pianist Christina McMaster.

 

Tissues with extra comfort

Sybron has introduced SySoft four-ply cube tissues at the same cost as its three-ply tissues, and a range of bamboo products. SySoft bamboo toilet tissue is suitable for hotels looking to offer quality, environmentally friendly products, and the SySoft bamboo cube tissue is presented in a kraft cube and designed to appeal to premium hotels working towards reducing their carbon footprint.

The range encompasses handwash and hand lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner and a pulse point rollerball, all enriched with pure extracts sourced from botanicals.

Molton Brown’s latest addition to its portfolio of dispensing solutions for hotels is the floating dispenser. The dispenser is durable and easy to install, with an invisible wall bracket, discreet fill indicator and tamper-resistant pump. The dispenser can contain 360ml bottle of bath and shower gel, body lotion, hand lotion, hand wash, shampoo or conditioner from Molton Brown’s Luxury Collection, which includes Orange & Bergamot, Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel, Heavenly Gingerlily and Indian Cress Purifying Shampoo & Conditioner, and the 1971 Collection.
