Conrad Hotels Create an Extensive Pillow Menu

More and more hotels seem to be entranced with the idea of the pillow menu as a way to attract customers. Conrad Hotels takes it to a new extreme level with extensive pillow menus that include more than 75 varieties of pillows to choose from across the globe. Some pillows are related to the destination such as the Shogun Pillow in the Conrad Bangkok or the Porcelain Pillow in the Conrad Centennial Singapore. Some pillows are for certain complaints such as the Anti-Stress Pillow or the Cold and Flu Pillow at the Conrad Chicago which is infused with four essential oils, eucalyptus, tea tree, bergamot and sandalwood. The 'Water Pillow' at the Conrad Miami has a thermal water pouch and super-soft hypoallergenic fibre filling for a better-quality sleep experience. The list goes on and on but it seems to me that if you are that particular about your pillow you are best off bringing your favorite from home.
