Sweet Spots


I recently confessed that I don’t pack shampoo when I go on vacation, which as a beauty editor seems like a sin. But the Four Seasons’ customized amenities program—which tailors the pint-sized products you find in their immaculate bathrooms to a few of their select properties—is exactly why I don’t risk spillage when I travel. The luxury chain is using these bespoke lotions and potions to evoke a sense of the locale (with packaging and scents designed to reflect the city you’re in) and enhance the overall experience of your stay. Currently, you’ll find these collections if you’re lucky enough to land at a Four Seasons in Toronto (shown above), Maui, Florence, or the Hotel Pudong in Shanghai. Up next is a collaboration between Etro and the Tokyo Marunouchi property set to launch in November. In addition to swiping the smaller and complimentary containers from your room, you can take home a full-sized reminder of your trip after you check out, as many locations are selling the specially made products in the hotel gift shop. Such a better souvenir than an I Heart Tokyo T-shirt.
