Home Suite Home

Last weekend I ended up in the hotel room of a visiting friend and I thought how nice it'd be if my bedroom was like that. Besides the fact that someone else would be making the bed, it didn't feel like a hotel room - it felt like home, just a better version.

It didn't hurt the cause that my friend is well off - it wasn't a Holiday Inn - but the line between hotels and homes has been blurring for a while. We now don't only check in for holidays and nookie on the side, but have dinner, drinks and good times at hotels in our home town. And increasingly imitate their interiors at home.

To five-star your home, you'd think that Hostelco, the hotel fair starting tomorrow, would be a great place to get some inspiration, but it seems like it'll mostly be call buttons and serving trays on show. Don't despair, though. Many hotels - including W that will open in Bofill's sail in Barceloneta - now sell their goods online.

Stock up on fluffy robes, pillows and toiletries, of course, but also bath scales, furniture and even shower heads. The bed, however, you'll have to make yourself.
