Eric,
Don't feel bad or alone. My wife and I have a rubber duckie themed bathroom. About 200 duckies, shower curtain, bathmat, towels, etc.
Also, the "current" duck for the LV Westin is a blue duck with racing stripe and number 8 on each side. Got two of 'em two weeks ago. And yes, I also have the spa and gambling duck from there

- small yellow duck, with hilton.de on the sides - believe I got this at Hilton Dresden
- larger yellow duck, stamped Conrad Singapore on its breast
- ok, i'ts not a duck - it's a white swan with a silver crown, stamped Conrad Tokyo on its breast
- Conrad Bangkok gives very cute plastic elephants as bath toys. I have a blue elephant with yellow daises and a white polka dotted one.
- Caledonian Edinburgh - green loch ness monster as bath toy

I have about 10 of them from Las Vegas. Two of the mudpack "girls" and the rest are the ducks with the dice.
and since nobody else has admited to this, yes, I keep my ducks all in a row at home.

Ah, but this isn't true. I've got 3 different Hilton ducks:
- small yellow duck, with hilton.de on the sides - believe I got this at Hilton Dresden
- larger yellow duck, stamped Conrad Singapore on its breast
- ok, i'ts not a duck - it's a white swan with a silver crown, stamped Conrad Tokyo on its breast

I want a duck! Time to switch my business to Westin

Similar situation here. I'm a SPG Plat and I never knew certain Westins give out rubber ducks. Forget the Heavenly Bed and Bath, looks like I have another good reason to stick with Starwood then!

Do I need to send a "missing duckies inquiry" to SPG customer service?

Here's the scoop, my friend checked into the Columbus Westin last night and I told her to look for her duck. She said there was no duck in her room or bathroom so she went to the front desk and asked for one. She was promptly given a duck!! So it looks like we may have to start asking

I feel ashamed to post this, for various reasons:
The only SPG hotel I know giving away rubber ducks is the Kämp in Helsinki. They are dark green and I already have four. Please do not tell them, one I actually stole from the housekeeping cart.
I had to say it. Thank you all, for listening.
William, please don't tell the Kämp, it's my favorite hotel in Europe.E.

Eric, you are not alone. The Kamp is def. an awesome hotel.
I honestly think I'd fly to HEL & stay at the Kamp again just for the look on the security dude's face at HEL when he found it in my carry-on. Priceless.
If you EVER go there again and would be willing to extract another, please PM me....I think the one in my bathroom is wanting company.
