Good hotels are about convenience, quality & comfort and when you do these easy things around your home you'll be just a little closer to feeling like you're indulging in 5 star luxury.

1. GET RID OF CLUTTER & LIMIT OPTIONS:

Hotels have a place for everything you need and nothing more.  No old magazines, no half-finished projects, no hand-me-down ballerina collections.  They don't have a dozen options for shampoo or a thousand frames on the dresser.

2. A CLEAN DESK

Have a place to sit down to write a letter or pay bills without distraction.  Keep a single pad of paper and a pen nearby.  Keep the desk surface clean and unobstructed.  Preferably with a view out the window.

3. IRON YOUR SHEETS

Super crisp sheets will make you feel like you're staying in a posh hotel.  Also invest in good quality linens, you want to feel like you are staying at the Ritz and not the budget motel.  This is my hotel bed formula: Ironed sheets, four standard (or king) extra-fluffy pillows, two or three extra-fluffy euro pillows, and a duvet.

4. HIRE A HOUSEKEEPER

Not having to worry about cleaning is the ultimate perk of staying in a hotel. A housekeeper will keep the towels off the floor and your duvet fluffed.  You could even ask them to leave a chocolate on your pillow when they leave.

5. A BATHROBE

A large fluffy white terry-cloth or waffle-weave one.

BONUS: KEEP MINI LIQUOR BOTTLES STOCKED
