Six Beautiful Hotel Shops (And The Souvenirs To Buy In Them)

Six Beautiful Hotel Shops (And The Souvenirs To Buy In Them)

We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful hotel shops and the souvenirs you’ve got to buy in them – you’ll want to bring a large bag…



Once
an uninspired lobby fixture, the hotel shop is now as
prized a destination as the buildings that house them. These are
six of the best stores burning holes in our pockets, along with our
edit of the souvenirs that you should be buying now.


Il Pellicano

Italy

Curated by hotelier Marie-Louise Sciò, the boutique at Il
Pellicano is not your standard hotel shop. Pick up bespoke
Birkenstocks, branded totes and baseball caps designed by APC Paris
as momentos of this seaside retreat adored by photographer Slim Aarons.


Babylonstoren

South Africa

Gardening enthusiasts and olive oil connoisseurs should make the
pilgrimage to Franschhoek for a stay at Babylonstoren. Before
departing, head to the farm shop to load up on cookbooks, linens
and charcuterie to continue living out a bucolic existence back
home.

Le Sirenuse

Italy

Emporio Sirenuse is as prodigious as its name suggests. A trove
of kaftans and cushions, this unisex store (located across the road
from Le Sirenuse hotel) should be entered at your wallet’s peril.
Scan its range of homeware and lifestyle items – and keep an eye
out for collaborations with artists and designers including
Luke Edward Hall and Allegra Hicks.


Ace Hotel

Global

From Palm Springs to Pittsburgh, the Ace Hotel brand undoubtedly
kicked off the trend of the “it” hotel shop. Load your trolley with
luggage labels and accessories bags (like the tote that stores the
hotel’s hairdryer) or try on an Ace Hotel and Swim Club t-shirt for
size. A duffel bag courtesy of Atelier Ace is another solid
sartorial choice.


Le Pigalle

France

At Le Pigalle, you’ll want to take more than a bit of SoPi
(South Pigalle) home with you. If you’re limited by your luggage,
merch emblazoned with the Le Pigalle logo and love-heart shaped
lollipop icon is a good starting point – that or a vintage-style
ashtray with its insignia-stamped centre. Remember to pick up a
packet of complimentary matches on departure too.


Soho House

Global

Nab an iconic striped pool towel (or three) before check out so
you can relive those overcrowded rooftop pool memories for weeks to
come. Soho Home offers furniture, tableware, textiles and
accessories inspired by – or used in – the Houses worldwide, as
well as vintage pieces and limited edition art. Top of our list:
Cowshed shower gel and those teddy-bear soft robes.
