Let start from the top and work our way down...
ROOM SERVICE
Not just one menu, but TWO. Heaven. I could be staying on the best restaurant strip in the world and I will still order Room Service. Its the laziest thing in the world and I love it.SMALL BOTTLES OF HAPPINESS
Yes, I will quite often steal them. I'm only human. And if they are really good I'll steal them everyday and eventually leave with a bag full. My hair is never shinier or bouncier than when I am staying at a hotel.
BIG FLUFFY PILLOWS
You know I love to look at them but as soon as I go to bed I throw all of them on the floor except for one. For the love of god who really needs 5 pillows on their bed? I DO - when I am in a hotel room.
MINI-BAR
No explanation required. Its always so much better than your pantry at home. Please note the half eaten organic gluten free salt & vinegar chips.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Normally not in my Top 5 but after travelling from Sydney to Melbourne yesterday there was nothing more important. And as we don't have air-conditioning at home this is a real treat. I hover between 19 and 23 degrees, depending on the system.
BIG MIRRORS
Again, this one is about making up for what we don't have at home. Back in Redfern we don't have a mirror that can show you below your navel. So big mirrors like this means you can practice your catwalk modelling and Britney dance routines.
A ROBE AND SLIPPERS
So Hugh Heffner! If I only I could smoke a cigar while I lounge around in them. It doesn't even need to be the end of a long day for me to slip into something a little more comfortable... such as these.
BIG WHITE TOWELS
MMmmmmmm....... We can't keep anything white at home so how the hell do hotel cleaning services do it? And what fabric softener do they use? All good hotels have soft white towels. It can make or break a room.
And this one is The Olsen on Chapel St in Melbs, my new favourite.
