Hotels with amazing extras
  • This stylish hotel chain offers its guests literally anything they want (as long as it's legal!) with its Whatever/Whenever service. You can request basics like a pair of running shoes at 2am or something more extravagent, like a one-of-a-kind wedding cake to arrive by helicopter, and they'll deliver! From the moment you book your stay to after you've checked out you can include a unique moment into your stay with this super-cool service. Past Whatever/Whenevers that have been granted include a German business guest having a member of staff work with him for hours to translate a presentation and a guest who was unable to find somewhere in Mexico City to watch an important basketball match have W call a cable company and set up a private in-room broadcast for him!

  • VIP guests booked into suites at this Spanish hotel will have an Aura Manager get to know them before they've even arrived so they can have a personalised experience. Their job is to know what your needs are before you request them. A cross between a DJ, stylist, concierge and personal confidant, the Aura Manager will personally contact you when you book your stay to find out your needs or surprise you if that's what you'd prefer. They can also select music for you to enjoy on an iPod, arrange visits to private designer sales and recommend the hottest hangouts around the city. If you're not booked into a suite, you'll still feel the presence of an Aura Manager as they change the lighting and music of the hotel to match the mood of the time of day and activity in the hotel.
