Get What You Pay For

By: Phoenix Arrien

Australian luxury hotels are increasingly offering sleep menus. No, this is not being fed through the ears while you sleep, it is offers of services and amenities to help sleep come about easier.

Sleep menus often include:

• Massages

• Yoga

• Aromatherapy, such as baths or candles

• Scented (usually lavender) eye pillows

• Nightcaps

• Soothing music

• Herbal teas

• Some items that hotels offer we don’t usually think about until we need them including sewing kits - to repair that tear or resew the button back on the garment;

• Shoe polish and shine - if the shoes are looking a bit scruffy there are often shoe shine kits or even the concierge will shine them for you;

• Discounts for restaurant or shops in the local area

• Cellphone charger - forgot yours? Often hotels have the most common types

• Secretarial services - photocopying, typing, personal assistance and deliveries are often available
