If you’re like me, you don’t need many excuses to stay in a hotel. I love them, and their little shampoo bottles and freshly made beds. So it was with little persuasion I checked into Vibe hotel in Sydney’s Rushcutter’s Bay to sample the delights of the Vibe Hotel and Napoleon Perdis Glamourous Nights package.
What do I get?
– overnight accommodation in any one of seven Vibe hotels in Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast or Darwin
– full buffet breakfast for two (who doesn’t love a hotel breakfast?)
– late check-out of noon (very handy, should you have overdone it the night before)
– a Napoleon Perdis pack including Cruise Blush, Liquid Veil Tint and a Wanderlust Must Lip Palette
– 2 for 1 cocktail voucher for the hotel bar
– A $60 Napoleon Perdis in-store makeover voucher
Total value = $240
Now, should you need a little help in brainstorming reasons as to why you should cash in on such a package, I can help you out. I’m a terrific enabler. My thinking is you use the hotel as your base camp in whatever city you’re in and plan a night around it. Take Mum to the theatre or out to dinner for mother’s day and order that extra bottle of wine, safe in the knowledge all you have to do is trot down the street to your hotel room and welcoming beds. Kick off a birthday celebration/hen’s night/reason-less night of indulgence with your friends in your hotel room bathroom with your new Napoleon products, move to the bar to collect the 2-for-1 cocktail then hit the town knowing that tomorrow, you don’t have to be down in the foyer till midday – unless you want the full buffet breakfast, which I’m assuming you might just.
