Elevating the Experience

Styling, Extras & Touches

To make your girls’ weekend feel curated and luxurious, incorporate these finishing touches:

• Dress the aesthetic: coordinate soft neutrals, florals, pastels, or monochrome themes
• Ambient extras: portable speaker with soft music, scented candles or diffusers in your suite, fresh flowers
• Welcome gifts: tea tins, silk sleep masks, monogrammed hand towels
• Photo corners: choose a corner in the suite or lobby with good light, a floral arch, or vintage props
• Hire help (if staying somewhere private): a server, florist, or stylist for one brunch or tea session
• Book spa or beauty treatments ahead: facials, mani/pedi, hair styling to feel polished
• Menu notes & dietary care: ask the hotel or tea lounge to label vegan/gluten-free — small details go a long way

Booking & Practical Tips

• Reserve high tea and brunch slots well in advance (weeks or months ahead)
• When possible, pick hotels that already offer tea/brunch so you don’t have to build everything from scratch
• For private homes or villas, get local vendors in place early (caterer, server, florist)
• Coordinate with the hotel about décor permissions (e.g. can you bring your own florals, linens?)
• Travel-friendly décor: foldable chargers, lightweight vases, linen napkins, collapsible cake stands
• Share a group packing list (outfits, shoes, accessories, props) in advance
