The toiletries in a five-star hotel are so fragrant they're almost sinful.
Especially when you first open a bottle of 5 star luxury hair care in the bathroom or apply a little bit of L body lotion, two words automatically pop up in your mind: Take! Go!
Thus, "how to perfectly take away hotel toiletries" has become an unspoken rule among guests.
Today, let's uncover the entire process of this "Indiana Jones" quest and tell you about the ending where you can "own without stealing."
Trick1 : pillow bottle pressure method (classic and unbeatable)
Before leaving, guests stuffed bottles of Diptyque hair care, Bvlgari skin care, and Crabtree and Evelyn body lotion under their pillows—with only half the bottle caps sticking out.
Hotel cleaning lady: When I Caught a Guest Sneaking Off With Byredo Shampoo…
This morning, a guest tried to slip Byredo body and hair care from the bathroom into their bag—almost caught red-handed.
I chuckled and said, “Careful! Next time, bring back the whole set—we’ve got Bvlgari and Le Labo waiting for you!”

Trick 2: the bottle plugging method (higher technical content)
Some people bring their own toiletry bag, rinse the Le Labo bottle, and stuff it inside, keeping it hidden from everyone.
But here's the problem:
You're taking a "trial bottle" with you, which isn't enough for three uses.

Trick 3: clean bundling method (high risk, not recommended)
Some seasoned guests wrap toiletries in hotel towels, disguise them in clothing, and pass them off as “personal items.”
Housekeeping usually just sighs: “Another luxury toiletries lover.”
Why Is Everyone So Obsessed with Hotel Toiletries?
Because luxury hotels carefully select only the world’s most prestigious luxury skin care brands and luxury hair care brands—these aren’t your average supermarket picks.
