I think that the Grand Hotel Baglioni in BLQ had Aqua di Parma (it was almost 10 years ago, so memory is sketchy).
bigguyinpasadena - check the Kiehl's website for travel sizes and "assortment" samplers - here's one example:

Also, check Neiman Marcus (they may stock some sets for Xmas)

Too cheap to get the really good stuff ... yet
I'm too cheap to get the really good stuff ... yet. Most of my stays are on Priceline.
A stay earlier this year was at the Rancho Bernardo Inn (Rancho Bernardo, CA) and they served up the much mentioned Aveda toiletries.
Although I like the Hyatt standard amenities, the Aveda are very nice and worth mentioning, at least as far as I'm concerned.
Maybe I'll pop for the 5* hotel (on Priceline) in Carefree, AZ at some point ... then we'll see what new toiletries I have to nominate .
Cheers.

Actually Kiehls is NOT that exclusive. I personally like Molton Brown better ( I think MB is actually more expensive as well!)
Well I am using the Tea Tree Kiehls Shampoo at the moment and the Blue Face Wash Gel. and the Molton Brown Vitamin C Shower Gel!!!
Also I don't like the Aveda products. They are not that good in quality and the smell is funny (IMO - the roesmary!)

Maybe Kiehl's isnt't very exclusive in the USA but in Germany it is.
I know there are more expensive products on the market but I love the products from Kiehl's, for me the number two after siseido.

Are you sure that is MB?? Maybe it is some special request from the hotel as I've NEVER heard of a Cucumber Shower Gel from MB!
I love the Vitamin Shower or the Ginseng Shower GEl. The marine series is also pretty good.

Got back last night from Villa Feltrinelli on Lake Garda and Acqua de parma there - including candles, room sprays and stuff too - very nice. Also was at the Splendido in Portofino last month and they provide an enormous bowl of toilettries - a mixture of Bulgari (Green Tea) and MB - basket included things like face wash which makes a nice change. However, best of all IMO is Le Touessrock in Mauritius - where it's just MB - but a huge range of different varieties - a choice of about 3 or 4 different shower gels each for the male and the female - so 6 or 8 in total, in pretty big bottles. I rally loved being able to choose what scent i felt like every time I showed or bathed.....

I remember falling in love with Trevie's products while at a Ritz Carlton property somewhere in the US. I believe the Ritz Carlton sells their products on their website.
