Kimpton Hotels' "Forget it? We got it!" program provides travel essentials to guests such as cosmetics, hair products, laptop and phone chargers, and more. It was launched in 2004 and aimed towards female guests, but it was such a success that they are expanding to male travelers as well.
Little touches like helping with lost items make a hotel stand out against competition because when travelers are happy they're more likely to come back. And if they can charge their phone because the hotel offers free chargers, they might even tweet about what great customer service they received!
