When you’re living out of a suitcase, few things feel more luxurious than fresh laundry on demand. Whether you’re in the middle of a multi-stop itinerary or just can’t bring yourself to rinse out one more swimsuit in the sink, these high-end hotels and residences go beyond turndown service with the ultimate long-haul perk: in-room washers and dryers. From NYC penthouses to beachfront suites in Mexico, here’s where to unpack, unwind… and maybe even do a load of darks.

Homes at Aman New York

Set inside the iconic Crown Building — once home to MoMA — Aman New York is an ultra-serene sanctuary in Midtown Manhattan. Like all Aman hotels, it is discreet, refined and endlessly spacious, with suites that channel Japanese and Southeast Asian minimalism. Expect soaring ceilings, hushed rooms and a 25,000-square-foot spa spread across three floors — complete with fire-warmed poolside chaises and private spa houses. There are two restaurants (Italian and Japanese), a members-only club and a subterranean jazz bar, but the crown jewel is the seventh-floor garden terrace: a rare, leafy escape in Midtown. And for longer stays, Aman’s One-, Two- and Three-Bedroom Homes sit on the upper floors with panoramic views, private elevator access, fully equipped kitchens and in-unit washers and dryers, offering a polished home base for those staying a little longer in the city.

  • Our Perks include £75 hotel credit, daily breakfast, an upgrade and extended check-in/out whenever possible.


Suites and Residences at SLS Baha Mar, Bahamas

Sun, scene and serious style — SLS Baha Mar brings the brand’s signature glam to the shores of Nassau. One of three hotels in the sprawling Baha Mar complex, this one’s all about the grown-up good times: DJ-led pool parties, all-day rosé and cabanas with bottle service at the exclusive Privilege Pool. Inside, the vibe is bright and playful — high ceilings, oversized art, fresh flowers and all-white everything (walls, curtains, linens, even the furniture). The spacious suites and residences are ideal for group getaways, with slick kitchenettes or full kitchens, and the holy grail of hotel room perks: dishwashers and in-room washers and dryers. There are 12 dining spots onsite, but guests can also charge meals from any of Baha Mar’s 80+ restaurants and bars to their room (don’t skip the sushi at Katsuya).

  • Our Accor Preferred partner perks include £75 hotel credit, daily breakfast, an upgrade and extended check-in/out whenever possible.


Residences at Montage Los Cabos

Set on one of Cabo’s few swimmable beaches, Montage brings a quiet kind of glamour to the Baja coastline — all soft sandy curves, sea breezes and unobstructed ocean views. The design is  polished and luxe but relaxed, with open-air lounges, copper accents and that indoor-outdoor flow that makes everything feel just a little dreamier. The Residences are a standout for groups and families, with fully equipped kitchens including washer/dryer setups, plus expansive terraces made for sunset cocktails. There’s also a massive spa (the largest in Baja), a Fred Couples–designed golf course and a sleek signature restaurant, Mezcal, that serves creative takes on Mexican classics.

  • Our Perks include £75 hotel credit, £30 daily breakfast credit per person, an upgrade and extended check-in/out whenever possible.


Suites at Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun

An all-white sanctuary on a pristine stretch of Playa Mujeres,Cancun, Garza Blanca is what you imagine when you picture a luxe beach escape — and one that’s super kid-friendly too. There’s an oceanfront infinity pool with a swim-up bar, a rooftop adults-only pool with knockout views, a hammock pool for peak lounging and even a see-through glass-wall pool made for underwater selfies. The one- and two-bedroom suites are built for families who like to spread out, with full kitchens, dining areas, washer/dryers and two bathrooms (bye, bathroom battles). You could move in and never need a thing. There’s a wellness zone, spa and gym for grown-up resets, plus a thoughtful lineup of kids’ activities that keeps everyone happy.

  • Our Preferred Hotel & Resorts Platinum perks include £75 hotel credit, a welcome amenity, an upgrade and extended check-in/out whenever possible.


Residences at Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection, Telluride

Telluride may still carry that under-the-radar cool, but the Madeline is full-blown five-star. Perched 10,000 feet up in Mountain Village, this chic ski-in/ski-out spot is steps from lifts, the gondola and some seriously cinematic peaks. The Residences are a standout — spacious one- to four-bedroom renovated ski homes with chef’s kitchens, fireplaces, soaking tubs and yes, washer/dryers (because wet gear waits for no one). Design leans mountain chic: cozy throws, cowhide pillows and black metal accents that frame the epic scenery. Timber Room brings the après energy with cocktails and small plates, while Black Iron dishes out steaks on oversized wooden boards.

  • Our Perks include £75 hotel credit, £30 daily breakfast credit per person, an upgrade and extended check-in/out whenever possible.


Suites at Vdara Hotel & Spa, Las Vegas

If you want Vegas without the chaos, Vdara’s your place. This sleek, smoke-free, casino-free resort is tucked just off the Strip, offering all the access with none of the overload. All rooms are suites, but the one- and two-bedroom suites are especially roomy and feel more like city apartments — think full kitchen, dining table, living room and yes, a washer and dryer for the win. There’s a two-story spa if you’re feeling indulgent, robot butlers (Jett and Fetch!) on call and if you score a high floor, partial views of the Bellagio fountains. Bonus: the buzz of Aria is just next door when you’re ready to plug back in.

  • Our Marriott LUMINOUS partner perks include £75 food and beverage credit, an upgrade and extended check-in/out whenever possible.
