It is the busiest travel time of the year, with 54.6 million people expected to hit the road and travel 50 miles or more to visit family for Thanksgiving. Super 8 by Wyndham—one of the world's largest economy hotel brands—has created a limited-edition candle collection that smells — collectively — like a road trip.
So, what exactly, does that smell like? Think beef jerky, open air rushing through the window and fresh bedding, to name just a few scents that the lodging chain selected for its Scents of the Open Road Collection. Available for $19.74 (paying homage to the year when the first Super 8 opened its doors), the collection of 4oz candles is housed in a black box with Super 8 branding.
The full collection includes:
Snack Time – Smokey, savory beef jerky, the perfect road trip snack.
Pit Stop – Glorious gasoline, the fuel that keeps the journey going.
Roam Free – A windows down, spirit of the open road kind-of feeling.
Brain Freeze – Thirst-quenching cherry slushie, a truly sweet cup-holder treat.
Lite Bite – Because every great morning starts with a little something to get you started.
Morning Jolt – Fresh ground coffee, for those get-up-and-go kind of days.
Tucked In – Crisp, clean linen, essential for a super night's sleep.
Fresh Feels – Fresh and reinvigorating, like a hot shower after a long day's drive.
Each candle is hand-poured in the US with a soy wax blend that burns clean, bright and consistently, according to the company. A limited number of candle sets will include a voucher for 30,000 Wyndham Rewards points, enough for up to four nights at a Super 8 by Wyndham.
Super 8 has more than 1,200 hotels across the US.
"For nearly 50 years, Super 8 has served as a beloved roadside companion to some of the most passionate road warriors out there," said Mike Mueller, president, Super 8 by Wyndham and brand operations. "When you travel you get a real sense of a place by taking in the smells around you so when we started to think about how to approach this candle collection, we tapped into our roots to create scents based on what we believe our guests truly love and long for. The spirit of the open road is not just an expression, it's a feeling—one we've bottled up for guests to bring home and relive this holiday season."
