      Sometimes, it’s the little things that count most when it comes to a luxurious stay. Many hotels boast top-tier amenities, service, dining and more, but it’s the ones that provide the extra details that can stand out the most. From handpicked and local fruit to packed lunches for the plane ride home, we’ve gathered just a sampling of the small touches that do big things for a guest experience.

      The Lanesborough, a St. Regis Hotel

      Business travelers in London will immediately feel right at home at this Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star hotel. Especially when they receive personalized business cards upon arrival.

      Twin Farms

      Travelers looking to unwind at this palatial Five-Star Southern Vermont getaway will be treated to a fun mini Stave jigsaw puzzle upon arrival and will leave with a complimentary ceramic dish.

      The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

      It’s only fitting a Five-Star hotel provides a five-star sleep — complimentary Central Harmony oil (lemongrass fragrance) for guests staying in L450 rooms and suites can be used as perfume, be put in a dish near your bed as an air freshener or be used as a bath essence.

      The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa

      This Four-Star Santa Barbara-area resort fully embraces its sunny roots by giving guests a basket of handpicked tangerines grown only in Ojai, California, upon arrival.

      The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples

      If you’re planning to tee off at this Four-Star Florida resort, you’ll no doubt appreciate the customized luggage tag that can be used to mark your prized collection of clubs.

      The Peninsula Beverly Hills

      Rest your head at this Five-Star Los Angeles icon in personalized style with monogrammed pillowcases. And yes — you’re allowed to bring that little piece of luxury home with you.

      The Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club

      Reconnect with your pen pal (or just make your friends jealous) by sending a missive using the personalized stationery this Five-Star getaway offers its guests.

      Blackberry Farm

      Although you might not want to leave, this Four-Star Knoxville escape sends guests on their way with a delicious packed lunch (with items such as homemade chips, pasta salad, an oatmeal cookie and more) for the plane ride home.
