Create A 5-Star Luxury Hotel Experience With These Guest Bedroom Ideas
By Terri Williams
If you’ve ever stayed at a 5-star luxury hotel, you know that it’s quite the experience. And wouldn’t it be great to have guest bedroom ideas to recreate this level of lavishness and hospitality for people who visit your home?
Katie Labourdette-Martinez, co-founder of Hearth Hospitality (which includes inns and B&Bs in Santa Barbara, California) and principal of Hearth Homes Interiors, tells me, “Our secret to a five-star experience isn’t just grand gestures, it’s weaving together design, hospitality, and personalization so seamlessly that guests feel both indulged and at home.” She says luxury is consistency, and every touchpoint should reassure guests that their comfort has been anticipated.
This view is shared by Lauren Tolles, founder of the Michigan-based design firm Maison Birmingham. “By blending convenience with hospitality and anticipating the guests’ needs before they arise, you can create an atmosphere of ease and indulgence that mirrors the refined care of a world-class hotel, but from the comfort of your home.”
Thinking about your favorite hotels can help you figure out what makes an experience special. Sarah Magness, principal and founder at Studio Magness in New York City, tells me that her favorite hotels are Claridge’s in London, and The Mandarin Oriental in Tokyo.
“Every detail is thought through, so that when you arrive, tired and exhausted from your journey, by the next morning, the jet-lag is less noticeable — you awake refreshed and excited to explore the city.” She explains that a great hotel makes your stay effortless — and says the guest room in your home needs to feel effortless and comfortable as well.
These are some of the guest bedroom ideas that can help you create a 5-star luxury hotel experience in your home.
Bathroom Toiletries
Whether your guests will have an ensuite or they’re sharing a bathroom, make sure they have all of the bathroom essentials.
“I like to stock the bathrooms with plush towels, quality bath products, and thoughtful extras like toothbrushes, razors, and other toiletries that travelers may have forgotten,” Tolles says.
Magness agrees, adding that guests will never forget their stay if they feel relaxed and rejuvenated.
Cariloha makes waffle bath robes for both men and women. The lightweight, breathable material (60% Turkish cotton and 40% Viscose from Bamboo) is moisture-wicking and also odor- and allergy-resistant. Color choices are Marine Blue, Tahitian Breeze, and White.
