Hotels have always played an important role in bringing our indulgences to life. Even if you have no travel plans, you can always swing by a swanky hotel in your city and fulfill a fantasy, even for just a few hours.
Right now, visiting a hotel with family and friends might not be the best idea, especially since we are diligently doing our part to flatten the Covid-19 curve by staying at home. However, some of the top hotel brands are rolling out easy-to-achieve hotel experiences that you can recreate at home, helping tide us over before we can do the real thing once again. From simple spa treatments to a lavish brunch feast, here are our top three recommendations from some of the world’s leading hotels.

Home Facial à la The Peninsula Beverly Hills
With your tummies filled, remember to also nourish your skin. To keep facial skin refreshed, try making and applying this restorative mask once or twice a week. Its ingredients contain antioxidant properties, which enhance skin elasticity, balance sensitivity, and reduce signs of aging and fatigue.
1. First, set the mood by lighting your favourite candle, selecting some mellow music, and choosing a spot where you can lounge and relax while the mask is working.
2. Next, make the mask by mashing one peeled, organic avocado and one peeled organic apricot. Blend the two together until the consistency is smooth and creamy; then apply the mixture to your face, avoiding the eye area.
3. Finally, settle into your lounging space, close your eyes, and relax for 30 minutes. Then rinse the mask off with cool water to find softer, fresher skin.
