Westin Rubber Ducks
This past weekend, I received my second Westin rubber ducky at the Westin San Diego. I also got one from the Westin in Las Vegas. May start a little collection.
Do all Westins have them? Do other SPG brands have them? Curious to hear which other hotels have given them out.

I have one from Vegas and one from Whistler. The Vegas one has dice.
Sort of fun to take home (I hope that was the idea)...

Wonder if this is the same rubber ducky you get in the bath tubs at the LH FCT?

The Westin Las Vegas also has (or at least HAD) a spa duck who has a mud treatment on her face and her hair up in a twist towel. No kidding! When I was there maybe two years ago, we got both one night!

Hmm... None from the Westin Boston Waterfront. I guess I will have to start booking more Westins to find these infamous rubber duckys!

I got the spa treatment duck, will have to return to Vegas to get the ones with dice and cards. The San Diego one has a surfboard.

my name is Eric and I am an rubber duck kleptomaniac
I feel ashamed to post this, for various reasons:
1/ They have rubber ducks at Hilton, but they're all the same (who said "like Hiltons"?)
2/ 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 favourite hotel in Europe.

Phew!
LOL. No worries...your rubber ducky fetish is safe from being revealed to the folks at Hotel Kämp as far as I am concerned.

This thread is going down the drain and it's entirely my fault, but hey, what's better to block a drain than a rubber ducky ?
Pleasant week end on all Earth,
