Have you ever considered shipping clothes directly to their vacation hotel before? A number of hotels (larger chains, business-oriented and family run properties alike) allow visitors to send mail/packages ahead. On check in day, this method works great – all that needs to be clearly marked is hotel name, date of arrival and your name; some may charge an additional fee but this service can save considerable hassle as well as luggage weight!

Tripadvisor Plus members can take their experience one step further by taking advantage of Rent the Runway’s Closet Concierge service, which allows them to rent designer clothing at discounted rates and have it sent directly to their hotels, so they don’t have to worry about what to pack. Simply use the hotel’s address during checkout and let them know it will arrive – after your stay simply swap out shipping labels with your own and return at an RTR drop-off location – it’s simple!
