And often forgotten are the little things like sunglasses and extra bags.
However, Kimpton Hotel & Restaurants, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, has teamed up with Anthropologie to offer free loans to guests who want to look stylish or who simply left something at home by accident.
The service allows guests to borrow a series of branded accessories during their stay.
This includes woven or beaded bags, as well as acrylic clutches perfect for a night out.
Also on the menu are aviator and retro sunglasses, as well as a stylish gold choker.
If you borrowed a bag, a pair of sunglasses and the necklace, you would save over £200 if you had bought them.
Guests simply need to speak to the front desk about the program to receive the menu of items.
The hotels in the UK offering the loans are the Kimpton Fitzroy in London, as well as the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, the Kimpton Blythswood Square in Glasgow and the Kimpton Charlotte Square in Edinburgh.
If you’re heading to Europe, there are also several hotels to choose from.
