Of course, there are plenty of individual properties with exquisite offerings laid out on the sink, but what about hotel brands? We’ve selected 10 companies that offer outstanding products at every single one of their properties, which should remove some guesswork when you plan your next hotel stay. —Zachary Laks

Featuring Fresh Hesperides Grapefruit Bath & Shower Gel, the potent formula infuses shea butter, citrus fruit extracts, with vitamins C and D to nourish and revitalize the skin. A skin-care line that sells for a premium, there’s great savings to be had in asking front desk for a few extra bottles of the shower gel for the road.

Having led the charge of modern, upscale urban spas, Bliss’s beauty, bath and body amenities were created to help recreate a spa experience at home.

Featuring: Oscar de la Renta

Continuing a partnership now in its third year with the exclusive Peninsula Hotel Group, Oscar de la Renta’s custom-crafted collection of soaps, shampoos, and lotions remain a highlight of the in-room experience. The line of travel-sized amenities feature a citrus and floral musk unisex fragrance with notes of mandarin, bergamot, freesia, and cedar, developed with Firmenich, and produced in association with Gilchrist & Soames. And a small detail that does not go unnoticed, the cap of each amenity is a custom-designed rose shape. 

Featuring: Le Labo

An elite perfume house founded in 2006 in New York City, Le Labo has garnered international acclaim for its handcrafted, custom concoctions. For one of the line’s most popular scents, Le Labo summoned the legendary roses of the French Riviera, particularly Grasse, France, to create Rose 31 eau de parfum, now found in nearly all of Fairmont Hotel Group’s more than 70 hotels across the globe. The scent is sophisticated and vibrant, featuring 31 ingredients that accentuate the essence of the roses of southern France, with hints of cedar, cumin, and amber. Infused into the hotel room’s shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and soap bar, just one whiff of the scent transports guests to the French coast of the Mediterranean. However, it is important to note that you won’t find Le Labo at The Plaza, a Fairmont-managed property (where Caudalie amenities are set in every room); Fairmont Grand del Mar (with luxe bath amenities created exclusively for the property by Red Flower); and Fairmont’s three properties in Kenya (Fairmont The Norfolk, Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club, and Fairmont Masai Mara).
