Ever Received a Memorable Souvenir from a Hotel?
So recently I found out that Conrads have these little plush bears and ducks that are custom to each hotel, and some people have some quite extensive collections of these plushies
Wondering if any other hotels do the same with little souvenirs you can bring back? I'm thinking something other than hotel key cards (that some people like to pilfer) or little snacks that are offered as welcome gifts.

Hi,
Some hotels used to have slippers with the hotel name embroidered on them ( ie Conrad Dubai) but post covid some are going just to plain slippers
The guest pens in guest rooms sometimes are personalised

There are the paper prayer rugs you get in some hotels in Moslem countries. I have several of those. I don't know why I am hanging onto them, but there they are......

I got a hotel branded stein from the Aloft by the Munich train station when I stayed during Oktoberfest a few years back. That's probably the most memorable gift I've received from a hotel.

I'm pretty sure I could have gotten some meth and companionship at the Holiday Inn by the Atlanta airport, but they would have been add-on charges and I wouldn't have earned bonus IHG points on the spend.
The Conrad plushies are the main hotel souvenir I've kept over the years.

I was around 10 and don't even remember where we were but when I went to unlock the door to the room the key snapped off in the lock (thankfully after the door unlocked). Since they were going to have to change the lock the maintenance guy let me keep the busted key after he removed it.
