RBH Hotels, one of the UK’s leading independent hotel management company is giving previous guests the chance to come clean and return items they’ve ‘borrowed’ from hotel rooms over the years.
The ‘souvenir amnesty’ will take place throughout the summer, with light fingered patrons being encouraged to hand in their ill-gotten gains.
For every ‘souvenir’ returned to participating hotels, RBH, which manages over 70 branded and private hotels across the UK, will donate £1 to a worthwhile cause. These include Make-A-Wish UK and NSPCC.
According to RBH Hotels the top five most commonly pinched items are towels, pens, mugs, teaspoons and remote controls.
The hotel group estimates that thousands of towels along with tens of thousands of teaspoons and pens are taken each year.
More esoteric items stolen from hotels include light bulbs, beer taps, DJ lighting, potted plants, a bejewelled Christmas Reindeer statue and a life sized display mannequin.
Guests who have items to return can drop them off at reception during August at the following hotels:
QHotels Forest Pines Hotel & Golf Resort, near Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire
QHotels Ashford International Hotel, Ashford, Kent
QHotels The Queens Hotel in the centre of Leeds
QHotels Tankersley Manor between Barnsley and Sheffield in South Yorkshire
