As much as we love visiting loved ones and seeing the world, we don’t really appreciate the whole sitting forever on a plane and living out of a suitcase thing. Especially with the holiday season coming up, we’re bracing ourselves for hotel rooms and mediocre continental breakfasts. One saving grace? We live for the perks.
From the useful (hospitality suites, around-the-clock shuttles, concierge service) to the fanciful (loaner goldfish, human bed warmers, tattoo artists in residence), many hotels offer lots of extra benefits and services that you have to know to ask for. We’ll walk you through some of the best ones—useful and quirky alike—to show you the secret perks you can tap into if only you know to ask.
