Hotel Home

by Guy Brighton

Hotelhome_2 Want to take a break from home-life but still have to go to work each morning? Why not make your home like a hotel? Well join the growing trend and simply pick your style (business, trendy or Louis XIV) and order in room service from your nearest takeout place and feel like you’re away whilst you’re at home.

The first hotel bed to start appearing in homes en masse was Westin’s Heavenly Bed, introduced by the Starwood chain five years ago. Starwood’s trendier W chain, meanwhile, goes even further — you can outfit your entire house to a W, down to the leaf-shaped coasters used in hotel bars and bathroom scales with footprints melted into them. Iceland’s hip 101 Hotel sells nearly everything in the rooms: minor modern masterpieces of Icelandic design and culture.

The only problem is how do you stop the missus checking the itemized cable bill and where do you hide those kids?
