Everything you need to create a 5-star stay.

Why should hotel beds get all the glory? It’s eminently doable to turn a spare bedroom into a bonafide guest suite that mimics a well-appointed retreat—complete with a heavenly bed tailor-made for sweet dreams.

All you need to do is add a few inspired amenities like a comfy mattress, sumptuous sheets, and a bedside water carafe. These thoughtful accouterments don’t just set a stylish scene; they’ll make guests instantly relax upon arrival.

The only risk involved: Your company may overstay their welcome.

Sleeping anywhere other than your own bed could be grounds for a restless night. But a Tuft & Needle Mint mattress all but guarantees your visitors a blissful sleep. The mattress’s special foam molds to their every move and contains a cooling ceramic gel that wicks away heat so guests stay cool, calm, and comfy. Plus, the removable mattress cover is machine washable, so you can keep it fresh for every guest you welcome.

Equally as important as the mattress, sheets can make or break a sound slumber. Crafted from 100 percent European flax, this linen sheet set is breathable and versatile, keeping sleepers warm in winter and cool in summer. The sheets soften throughout their lifespan, so they’ll only get cozier over time.

Trust: Few things will be more appreciated by guests than having an assortment of sundries on hand when the munchies strike. Create a Presidential Suite vibe by leaving an artfully arranged selection of local nibbles in a woven bin. Not only does this touch demonstrate an epic level of TLC, it also keeps guests from rummaging through your cabinets for a midnight snack.

The last thing you need is for your guests to forgo a peaceful snoozefest in favor of a sleep-deprived sneezefest. A Down Alternative Pillow thwarts any potential allergy issues. This one has a hypoallergenic polyester insert that mimics the fluffy feel of down with its lightweight, airy fill.

Offering a curated selection of libations means guests can fix a nightcap (or two) in the comfort of their own room. Showcase liquor and glassware on an elegant bar tray like this luxe Lucite iteration for a spirited presentation.

Little extras go a long way towards making overnighters feel special. Showcase your exquisite taste and meticulous attention to detail by offering luxurious bath and body amenities. This shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and body lotion set comes in a subtle black tea scent.

A bedside surface like the Everywhere End Table is a must to house necessities such as a phone or book within arm’s reach. The solid wood construction mean it’s sturdy enough to hold just about anything, and the classic design jibes with every room.

Night thirst is a thing for most people. Instead of making your visitors tiptoe around the house after hours, offer a bedside water carafe. A friendly face when they’re feeling parched, this Nude Glass version is cheekily sophisticated and comes with a carafe and glass in one to single handedly elevate their hydration game.

Nothing encourages the warm and cozies quite like a crackling fire. This candle is the next best thing. The subtle smokey, woodsy aroma calls to mind a roaring hearth, without the need to build a fire.

We've all been there: You check into a hotel only to find two sad hangers and no place to put your coat. To avoid that scenario, install a panel of wall hooks for instant clothing storage and crease-free peace of mind. For extra credit, hang a spare bathrobe, raincoat, or cardigan for guests to use as needed.
