Customers should be treated like kings and queens. They should be pampered, treated to large doses of good humor, and given a creative quality of life upgrades that make all the difference. This is the philosophy some of the nicest hotels have. And it's obvious how much they try to have the best customer services.
Some hotels go the extra mile to make their customers' stay that much more pleasant. From bed forts and 'spouse disposal units' to hilarious menus and tiny takeaway bags for tiny soap, these are the creative ideas that make you want to visit again and again. Bored Panda created this awesome list of clever ideas and unique touches that some of the best hotels have introduced. These will bring a smile to your face, give you a hearty chuckle, and make you go 'wow, how didn't I think of that?'
