This December marks the close of a year where even those with Frequent Flyer miles in the hundreds and thousands have not been traveling. Everyone has, for the most part, stayed put. But while London’s swanky Connaught hotel (with the best bar in the world) may be out of reach, their Martini glasses are just an online order away. Il Pellicano’s Slim Aarons-famous pool, meanwhile, can be recreated at a pool near you with their striped beach towel. And though you may be unable to venture to Aspen for New Year’s Eve, where the St. Regis’s imposing red brick building gets dusted with snow, you can sport their collaboration with Stubbs and Wootton. One of the styles, designed by Zach Weiss, features a spray of bubbly Champagne. Your feet may be firmly planted at home but your spirits will be transported to the epic end of the year countdown you deserve.
These, and more of the best gifts from hotels around the world, below.
Man about town Zach Weiss was asked by St. Regis to design a line of Stubbs and Wootton footwear for men and women. The slippers feature a variety of embroidered decals that will lend your ensemble an I’m-permanently-on-holiday vibe, even if that couldn’t be farther from the truth. To wear the club sandwiches, Bloody Mary, and credit card shoes is to ask, “Did somebody say weekend?”
Travelers to Nantucket know the White Elephant is an island institution. The same will likely be said of their new outpost in Palm Beach, which just opened last week. The hotel’s namesake mascot famously makes appearances throughout the hotels—bring him home with this delightful decorative pillow.
Quatrefoil-shaped windows can be found at Dallas’s Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. And so it was the perfect motif for bespoke bootmakers Miron Crosby to sprinkle on a boot, made especially for the hotel.
The magic of Le Sirenuse is hard to recreate, but the hotel owner, Carla Sersale, had Positano’s pink-purple sunset in mind when she designed this line of Murano glassware for the hotel’s shop, Emporio Sirenuse.
