There’s no place like home — unless you’re in a hotel room so beautifully furnished you wish your home could be just like it. And it can! A phenomenon that began more than a decade ago when the Westin Heavenly Bed became available for purchase by its fans has expanded to include all manner of hotel room furnishings. From mattresses and box springs to high-thread-count sheets and fluffy pillows, you can have it all. Some hotel brands are even offering showerheads for sale, and Marriott is considering putting headboards, side tables, lamps and artwork on the block.

Do you have a favorite hotel product or furnishing you’d love to have in your home? Candyce H. Stapen’s article “Hotel to Home” offers the lowdown on some of the hospitality industry’s most popular items, including information about how and where to buy them.

And be sure to check out the winners of the inaugural Trazee Awards. Created by the team behind Global Traveler, trazeetravel.com launched in September 2014, bringing “Everything travel, from A to Z” to the uber-millennial generation of travelers aged 18 to 35.

We also cover nightlife in Shanghai, business in Mexico City, the neighborhoods of Napa and golf in Myrtle Beach, with stops along the way in Pamplona, Munich, Melbourne, Thessaloniki and, of course, Orlando, site of the Global Business Traveler Association’s 2015 annual conference.
