Recapture that holiday feeling with our edit of the best hotel merchandise from the world’s most luxurious destinations
Whether you’re dreaming of your next trip abroad or simply don’t want the escape to end, this five-star edit of hotel-inspired homeware has you covered. Make like you’re sunning yourself on the water’s edge at Lake Como with a stripy parasol or swaddle yourself in a super-plush Ace Hotel dressing gown. And, if you still can’t shake the wanderlust, there’s always The Connaught’s hand-decorated cocktail glasses (designed to evoke the hotel’s legendary martini trolley) to soothe your soul.
‘Sun’ dinner plate, Le Sireneuse Positano
Situated along the dazzling Amalfi Coast, Le Sireneuse Positano is an Italian hotel that exudes summer charm.

Approx £60, emporiosirenuse.com
‘Athens’ robe, Ace Hotel
If you’re not one for the traditional white robe (a magnet for all kinds of spillages) then this dressing gown is for you. Woven by the Turkish Towel Co, it allows your spa experience to extend long after you have left the hotel. Approx £168, acehotel.com
‘Pasta’ inflatable, Jumbo
Who hasn’t dreamed of floating in a large vat of Italian pasta? Well, you’re in luck, because the Jumbo has partnered with The Standard on a series of noodle-shaped inflatables. Think macaroni, shells, farfalle, rigatoni, lasagna, tortellini and ravioli. From approx £55, shopthestandard.com
‘Serape’ pillowcase set, Hotel San José
These vibrantly striped pillows can be found in the Courtyard King Suites of Hotel San José, a favourite among celebs including Lily Allen and Kelly Wearstler. Designed to evoke a ‘treehouse style life of leisure’, the hotel and its furnishings are quirky and comfy in equal measure. Approx £65 for two, sanjosehotelstore.com
‘Liquid soap’, Hôtel Costes
Extra long (and extra hot) showers are an indulgence most of us can only afford to take when on holiday. Sneak a piece of that spa-like feel into your bathroom with Costes’ energising body wash, which will leave you smelling like juniper and coriander seeds with hints of incense. Approx £30, hotelcostes.com

Bold, bright and a little bit bonkers, this ceramic penguin by 21c encapsulates that fun-loving feel you get when on holiday. Each penguin is a mini replica of the full-size plastic sculptures by Cracking Art Group, which can be found inside all of 21c Museum’s hotels. Approx £30, shopat21c.com
