There’s no doubt that going, as the Brits say, “on holiday” boosts your spirits. Vacation you is your best self, a mental space where you can literally and figuratively let your hair down, enjoy long meandering walks, and, importantly, relax in a cushy hotel after those long walks. Hotel stays can be a delicious respite from the “real” world: A freshly made bed, seamless check-in, room service, and a lobby that smells like expensive fragrances are a powerful combination.
If you’ve wanted to replicate the luxe hotel experience at home — at least in the form of an incredibly calming scent — now’s your chance. Hotel Collection creates diffusers, fragrance oils, and candles inspired by luxury resorts. Think high-end scents inspired by The 1 Miami, the Westin’s signature lobby (which boasts a white tea fragrance), and other iconic properties.
Instead of hitting the lobby gift shop — or racking up a five-star hotel bill — you can try one of Hotel Collection’s incredibly soothing and exotic scents. And here’s a new upgrade we’re loving: The brand is introducing a program, the First Class membership, that makes it even easier to get your home smelling like a Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton (and there’s even a collection inspired by Margaritaville). For just $99 a year, you get an exclusive discount of 50 percent off sitewide. Unlike with other memberships, there’s no need to track a points system or apply confusing promo codes — the discount is available all year long (with a few days and products excluded).
It’s perfect for the upcoming holiday season, too: You can gift the feeling of a vacation, without the giant price tag.
