There are plenty of reasons to care about what's on that hotel-room sink. When top-quality bath and beauty amenities are offered, travelers can leave their TSA-friendly bottles at home or take souvenir toiletries to go. Hotels, happily, have taken notice. More major chains have bid adieu to generic soaps and shampoos and upgraded their offerings in recent years. Now, complimentary brand-name skincare products, once limited to luxury lodgings and independent boutique hotels, can be found at less exclusive properties.

Here are 10 major hotel brands with superior bath and beauty products, along with tips on where to buy the products in case you're not traveling anytime soon.

TRYP by Wyndham

TRYP, Wyndham's midscale chain with more than 90 properties around the world, provides guests with the Zero Percent Collection from Gilchrist & Soames. It's a luxurious, earth-friendly product line formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and artificial colors, and it is not tested on animals. TRYP further boosts its eco-friendly cred by providing body wash, shampoo, and conditioner from the Zero Percent Collection in refillable dispensers installed in the showers of guest bathrooms. If you want to grab some travel-sized bottles to take home, however, just ask at the front desk. TRYP properties have a supply of small bottles of its Gilchrist & Soames products on hand, which are available for guests upon request.

Where to Buy: Shop for Gilchrist & Soames online.

W Hotels

W Hotels bathrooms have long been stocked with upmarket Bliss skincare products. And many W properties have Bliss-branded spas that incorporate the Bliss line in treatments, such as a facial with the line's Triple Oxygen+C Energizing Cream massaged into the skin. For a free Bliss fix, W guests can snap up the sink-side six: Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash, Lemon+Sage Soapy Suds, Lemon+Sage Body Butter, Lemon+Sage Supershine Shampoo, Lemon+Sage Conditioning Rinse, and a Lemon+Sage Body Bar.

Where to Buy: Pick up Bliss beauty products from the company's website, or buy your Bliss at the W Hotels online store.

JW Marriott

In 2013, JW Marriott added an exclusive line of bath amenities created by London-based Aromatherapy Associates (the same brand available at Mandarin Oriental hotels). The line, which features all-natural ingredients like lavender, rosemary, ylang ylang, and almond oil, was specially designed to soothe harried travelers with calming scent. Aromatherapy Associates founder Geraldine Howard said she imagined "a traveler who had taken a red-eye flight and needed to be prepared for an important meeting or, on the other hand, someone who had just finished up a long day and wanted to relax," when she created the custom products.

Where to Buy: Marriott sells exclusive Aromatherapy Associates skincare and beauty products in its online store.

Joie de Vivre

Joie de Vivre provides complimentary bath and beauty products from Lather, an aromatherapeutic, cruelty-free skincare line made from natural ingredients, in guest rooms at most locations. But you'll find a very special amenity at the hotel brand's Carmel Valley Ranch location: a one-of-a-kind soap crafted with fresh-pressed lavender harvested from the more than 7,500 lavender plants that grow on the property.

Where to Buy: Buy Lather products online from the company's website.

Onefinestay

Onefinestay lodgings in New York and Los Angeles are some of only a handful of properties to offer complimentary Kiehl's beauty and skincare products. Onefinestay isn't exactly a hotel. Branded the "unhotel," these digs are individually owned, yet managed by the same company. Rooms are appointed with amenities similar to what you would find in a standard hotel: fresh towels, clean linens, and toiletries. And since those toiletries are Kiehl's brand—the popular New York City-based skincare line that features natural, high-quality ingredients—Onefinestay earns a spot on this list.

Where to Buy: Buy Kiehl's online or visit your local Kiehl's store.

Fairmont

American perfumer Le Labo stocks guest bathrooms at all Fairmont properties with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and soap in the line's unique Rose 31 scent, which was created exclusively for the hotel chain. Le Labo artisans handcraft one-of-a-kind fragrances in the company's New York City lab, using high-quality raw and organic ingredients. Bottles are recyclable, and Le Labo's formulas are 100 percent biodegradable and are not tested on animals.

Where to Buy: Le Labo products are sold at independent boutiques around the world. See a list of suppliers on the Le Labo website. You can also find Le Labo products at Barneys New York. Products with the Fairmont-exclusive Rose 31 fragrance are available for sale at Fairmont Stores in the U.S. and Canada.

The Standard

Stay dapper and clean-shaven at The Standard properties, which sell custom grooming kits by Harry's. The kit contains the brand's red Truman razor with an ergonomic handle and nourishing shaving cream made from essential oils. You can buy the kit for $15 from your room's minibar. But don't fret—there are quality free products, too. Complimentary beauty and skincare offerings at The Standard include an exclusive line of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, and bar soap by Kiss My Face.

Where to Buy: See the store locater on the Kiss My Face website.

Morgans Hotel Group

Travelers will find lavish Malin+Goetz products at some luxury hotels, such as the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago or The Betsy Hotel in South Beach. But Morgans Hotel Group, which operates roughly a dozen properties in the U.S. and Europe, is the only hospitality company that offers Malin+Goetz in all of its hotels. Crafted in the U.S. from natural botanicals (locally sourced whenever possible), Malin+Goetz skincare is free from parabens, synthetic perfumes, and dyes and is not tested on animals.

Where to Buy: Get your Malin+Goetz fix directly on the company's website.

Hilton Hotels & Resorts

In 2011, Hilton Hotels & Resorts introduced amenities from the Peter Thomas Roth skincare line. In the bathrooms of Hilton guest rooms at more than 500 properties in 78 countries, guests will find Peter Thomas Roth's vitamin-packed Mega-Rich collection of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and body wash, as well as the brand's Moisture Infusion Facial Bar and Massage Body Bar.

Where to Buy: Purchase Peter Thomas Roth skincare products from Sephora, or buy them directly from the hotel on the Hilton to Home website.

Hyatt

Hyatt upgraded its bath products across all of the company's brands last year in response to guest feedback. According to a representative from the hotel, Hyatt conducted the "largest guest-listening exercise in the history of the brand" and adjusted its offerings accordingly. Now, Hyatt guest rooms are stocked with complimentary products from KenetMD Skincare (at Hyatt Place, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt, and Hyatt House), Le Labo (at Park Hyatt), June Jacobs Spa Collection (at Grand Hyatt) and Aromapothecary (at Grand Hyatt).

Where to Buy: Visit the Hyatt at Home online store for products from KenetMD and June Jacobs. Le Labo is available at upscale department stores such as Barneys.

Shopping on price alone. Comparing insurance policies can be confusing, but resist the urge to simply choose the policy with the lowest premium. Consider the company's reputation and the coverage you'd get for that premium. "As a general rule with health insurance, the higher the premium, the lower the amount you pay when you go to the doctor," Quincy says. Private health insurance plans must provide coverage examples showing what your estimated out-of-pocket costs would be for, say, having a baby or managing Type 2 diabetes. Some examples might not apply to you, but they can help you compare plans and see how much you might pay in coinsurance and copays. "Make sure you're shopping apples to apples and getting quotes based on the same coverage that you have," says Lori Conarton, a spokeswoman for the Insurance Institute of Michigan. Your property and casualty insurance may not cover things like food spoilage in the event of a power outage or stolen electronics worth more than $1,000, so you may want to purchase extra endorsements to cover those possibilities, she adds. >>>> LINK SOURCE http://marina2zimmer.skyrock.com/3205822323-5-Insurance-Buying-Mistakes-to-Avoid.html >>>>FOR MORE INFORMATION http://westhillconsulting.info/about.html http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/
