Everyone’s Doing It…

According to a recent study by Hilton, 73% of American travelers admit to taking hotel toiletries, and many have found creative reasons to use them after their stay, such as washing make-up brushes or polishing their shoes.
 
Once Americans have the goods, they are used for a number of different reasons, according to Hilton.

For example,  54% of business travelers have used hotel toiletries to clean their shoes before a meeting or event, while 39% millennials have used them to remove stains. More than half (55%) of men admit to taking the body lotion home.

Nearly 1 in 5 American travelers re-purpose the hotel toiletries they’ve taken when hosting overnight guests in their home.
 
Millennials, according to the survey, are significantly more likely (31%) to take hotel toiletries from the housekeeping cart than those that are 55 and older (13%).

And beware this holiday season; 10% confessed that they have given away amenities as a present.
 
Hilton released the findings along with the news that it has refreshed its in-room toiletries across several of its hotel brands, globally, including Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton, Embassy Suites Hotels, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Hotels, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton.
