The City’s Craziest Hotel Amenities

Hotel amenities. You may recognize them as pillow mints, cotton slippers and really tiny bottles of tequila. But that’s nothing. There’s a whole other level of amenity out there. And we’ve found you the five best/most over the top. They’re below. However, a room key is not.

W SOUTH BEACH

The Best Concierge in All of Miami

The Service: Each room phone at the W South Beach is equipped with a magic button. Push it to access a 24-hour concierge/genie. Your wish, his command. Yes, that includes setting up a 3am crawfish boil, private Everglades floatplane reservations and a million wishes.

BENTLEY HOTEL

Cocktails Delivered to Your Lounger

The Service: The first thing you think about at the beach: margaritas. The second: man, this sand is really hot. Luckily, the butlers at the Bentley will traverse both the wilds of Ocean Drive and the sandy dunes of a public beach to reach your chaise. And top off your caipirinha.

EPIC HOTEL

Pampering Man’s Best Friend

The Service: Yoga. Massages. Snuggling in 9,000-thread-count sheets. Yup, it’s good to be a dog. The Epic offers a slew of amenities for man’s best friend (including a puppy spa). The little guy goes nuts for deep-tissue belly rubs.

ST. REGIS BAL HARBOUR RESORT

Getting Chauffeured in a Bentley

The Service: Stay at the St. Regis, and they’ll set you up with a driver and a personal Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Imagine a taxi, but with 12 cylinders, 552 horsepower, leather seats and no pine-tree-air-freshener smell.

SOHO BEACH HOUSE

A Martini in the Shower

The Service: Time is money. And cocktails. The Soho knows this and dispatches a team of bartenders with cocktail carts throughout the hotel from 6 to 9pm. They’ll kindly offer to mix drinks in your room while you get ready for the night ahead. All good things begin with rum.
