Transcript of Make Your Hotel Room Feel Like Home
There is a reason that we as humanbeings enjoy the comforts of home–thesights, sounds, smells and everything
else between relax us.
We’ve got special pillows, comfortersand a particular arrangement to our
furniture that makes our room and ourhome unique, special and, of course,
homey.
By using all five senses, you can makeyour hotel room feel like home.
SIGHTIf you’ll be away from home for aweek or more, consider bringingalong a small as a photo of your
loved ones
If this doesn’t apply to you, considerbringing a small decoration fromyour room to the hotel, somethinglike a wall tapestry can make your
hotel room feel like home.
SOUNDBring your iPod dock or bluetoothspeakers, neither of which take up
considerable room in luggage. At theend of the day when it comes time tounwind, just plug your music in andplay. Listen to the same tracks you’reaccustomed to listening to around the
house–including playing the samemusic you regularly do during theevening to help lull you to sleep.
SMELLThey say that sound is one of the
senses that is most closely linked tomemory. The smell of your house
could immediately elicit memories of,well, your house. If there are candles
you typically keep lit around thehouse or air fresheners you use, bring
them! Simply having a lit candle inyour hotel room could make you feel
more at home than just aboutanything else.
TOUCH If you’ve got the space for your
favorite pillow, by all means bring it.When it’s switched up, our sleep
schedule can suffer.If you don’t have room for the pillow,try bringing just the pillow case. Afterrepeated washings, hotel pillow cases
aren’t always the softest thingsaround, so your silk one from home
might be a good substitute.
