With tight restrictions on carry-on liquid amounts, hotels have been stepping up their amenities game by working with top brands across the world to produce bespoke products.

The Mark

1/2

The Mark hotel on the Upper East Side balances between New York sophistication and, thanks to eminent French designer Jacques Grange, Parisian theatrics. Their spacious bathrooms, enclosed in the finest Italian marble with striped black and white accents, feature deep soaking tubs and separate showers begging for luxurious bath products. The Mark delivers with their bespoke selection of beauty products by La Bottega dell’Albergo, created exclusively for the hotel and housed in bottles featuring cutesy caricatures by French illustrator Jean Phillipe Delhomme featuring topless ladies and men reading the paper in the bathtub.

What You’ll Want To Take Home: The whimsical bottles are a beautiful keepsake even if you’ve managed to use up all the delicious products inside them.

The Quin

1/2

The Quin stands at the gateway to NYC culture, steps away from Central Park, the Lincoln Center and the glitz and glamour of Fifth Avenue which translates into a stylish lifestyle hotel whose best points are in the details. A mix of marble and glass in the bathrooms keeps things ‘Fresh’ — so fresh in fact that the hotel stocks Fresh® bath amenities in all the rooms. Made from natural and decadent ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, pomegranate and rosewater, theses beauty products will enhance your daily ritual. Prepare to hydrate, strengthen, balance and smell delicious.

What You’ll Want To Take Home: The Fresh Pomegranate Conditioner adds lustrous shine to your locks — you won’t be able to stop touching your hair all day.

The Park Hyatt

The Park Hyatt brings the iconic and highly covetable Le Labo to the bathrooms of their New York outpost. The New York fragrance line Le Labo is known for their unique scents — this is not the perfume you remember your grandmother wearing. The Park Hyatt carries their Tubereuse 40 line, a slightly woody floral in a shower gel, shampoo and separate conditioner (rejoice! Who actually still uses a shampoo/conditioner combo anymore?). Love the scent? You might get through the bathroom amenities in one long indulgent shower but head to the Spa Nalai on the 25th floor of the Park Hyatt and indulge in full-sized amenities in their stand-alone Le Labo store.

What You’ll Want To Take Home: With notes of bergamot, tangerine, and orange flower, we’re willing to bet you’ll take the elevator up to the 25th floor and buy bigger versions of these products.

The Maritime

1/2

Straight from New York’s oldest apothecary comes C.O. Bigelow products, proudly carried at the Maritime hotel in Chelsea. Enter into the penny-tiled sea foam green bathroom and you’ll be delighted to find Lavender-Peppermint C.O.Bigelow products. The invigorating formula was once a hotel-carried exclusive until customers demanded the line be available to them all the time — high praise for a hotel toiletry indeed! The Maritime also stocks the Italian toothpaste brand Marvis in their cute ship-inspired rooms. The rain forest shower will ensure that your bathroom becomes an oasis of beautiful smells!

What You’ll Want To Take Home: The C.O. Bigelow Lavender-Peppermint shampoo is a particularly good way to wake up your senses in the shower if you’re the sort of person who sleeps through half their morning. It’s like an in-shower coffee!

With notes of lavender in the hand soap and lime and coriander in the shower gel (helping you stay fresh during those hot, sweaty NYC summer nights), the C.O Bigelow products are complemented with a custom lotion from American Medicinal Arts tailor-made for the Out.

What You’ll Want To Take Home: The hand lotion is crafted to soften and nourish travel-tired bodies with grapefruit, vetiver and black pepper working so stimulate skin cells and leaving you glowing. The lotion feels incredible on NYC-walking tired feet.
