The Morgans Hotel Group owns the Delano in Florida, the Hudson in New York, and the Mondrian in Los Angeles, among others. And in the rooms of these chic hotels, you can find products from Malin + Goetz, a boutique beauty brand that formulates its products to help maintain a natural pH balance in your skin and hair.
In your hotel bathroom you'll find the brand's Peppermint Shampoo (perfect for those groggy mornings), Cilantro Conditioner, and Rum Soap. All the products smell amazing and use locally sourced ingredients.

W Hotels
As you would expect, the hotel chain that's incorporated Bliss Spas into its locations also features the iconic brand's products in its rooms. Stay at a W and you can snag Bliss Lemon+Sage Supershine Shampoo, Conditioning Rinse, Soapy Suds Shower Gel, Soap, and Body Butter. You also get the Fabulous Foaming Face Wash. Basically, staying at the W means you smell amazingly lemony from head-to-toe. Not a bad thing.

Renaissance Hotels
Who doesn't love Aveda and that distinct herby scent? Stay at a Renaissance Hotel and you can score their Rosemary Mint Shampoo and Conditioner, Energizing Body Cleanser, and All Sensitive Moisturizer. It's like taking a trip to the salon in your hotel bathroom (well, minus the stylist to give you blow out).

Hilton Hotels & Resorts
Hilton made a big move in 2011 by teaming up with the brand Peter Thomas Roth to put together a collection of products for their rooms. Most of the products come from the Mega-Rich line, including Mega-Rich Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Lotion, and Body Wash (a 2012 Total Beauty Award winner). There's also a Moisture Infusion Facial Bar and Massaging Bath Bar, perfect for a relaxing soak after sightseeing.

Canyon Ranch Hotels
Canyon Ranch is already an obvious choice for the beauty-obsessed, since most locations focus on luxury spa treatments. Now there's another reason to book: The LATHER Bamboo Cr�me line (including hair wash, conditioning rinse, body wash, and cr�me moisturizer) is in the rooms at all locations. The products have bamboo extract and other moisturizing ingredients like jojoba, avocado, and aloe vera -- and they smell like a spa in a bottle.
Reasons a so-called normal person chooses a hotel: It's close to the event she's attending, the beds are comfy, it has a kick-ass pool.
Reasons a beauty junkie chooses a hotel: The in-room blow dryer actually works, it's got a salon and spa on the premises, the bathroom amenities are worthy of stashing in her suitcase.
Sure, you could say one would have to be nuts to go out of her way for a nice bottle of shampoo. But is it so crazy? Think about it. If your hotel has stellar toiletries, you don't have to pack your own. Plus, if you've got room to stash some leftover bottles, you can use them for your next trip, your guest bathroom, or in your own shower as a fun reminder of your vacation. It's sounding more sane every second, right?
Right. So, to help all of you beauty-focused travelers out there, we created this travel guide to the hotels with the best bathroom amenities. Now all you need to do is make sure you save some room in your suitcase for all of those mini bottles you're going to want to lug home.
