Lobby Boy is the latest way of ensuring that the guests of Paramount House Hotel have everything they need to feel right at home. Wrapped in an original artwork by the hotel’s long time collaborator, Sonny Day, it displays a carefully curated array of thoughtfully selected items.
Just like the rooms themselves, nothing is here by accident. The people behind Paramount House Hotel have each contributed items they themselves would want to find in a hotel. Whether that’s because it’s a very particular travel item that they have found useful on one of their trips, or because it’s a completely impractical item (like vinyl EPs), because they love them, and also, why not?
While Lobby Boy articulates the hotel’s unique style, he also provides answers for some of the most common guest requests – face masks, mints, socks?
Some of the worthwhile mentions include: a series of original hand-painted timber artworks by Marty Baptist and a bespoke kit for lovers (designed to help take your night from good to great). There’s a dry shampoo to help you on your journeys, revitalising eye drops, as well as packs of Supreme socks and boxers – with new and unique items being added regularly.
Lover’s Kit
When looking around for something for guests to enjoy, there was nothing that aroused our interest. So the PHH Lovers’ Kit is our own curated collection of items that are inclusive and enjoyable for every lover.
The kit includes a bespoke set of sex dice, that when rolled together result in action and a location. One dice determines what you are going to do, while the other names a specific part of our hotel rooms to give a sense of place – but we have kept them dynamic so that they can also be taken away and enjoyed in any room.
Condoms feature an original banana artwork by Sonny Day and some special items from sexual wellness company, Unbound, add a layer of intensity and playfulness – like their Jelly lube, body-safe silicone ‘Cuffies’ and stretchy smooth silicone cock-ring, nicknamed ‘Bandit’.
The Vending Machine also contains:
– Aesop Marakesh Intense Parfum
