Yes, but I was referring to the beginning of Aesop - a brand which grew perhaps 1000x since it was initially stocked at the PHT. As one of the first adopters of Aesop in Europe, people first using it at the PHT was a common theme for the brand when it first moved beyond Australia and Asia.
The story of a hotel having one toiletry brand in general is rather less exciting.
