As some hotels tear down the walls between bed and wash areas, a broader range of properties are playing up their pricey bathroom products -- and selling the gear for guests to use in the privacy of their own homes. Here's a sampling:

ITEM/PRICE/HOTEL COMMENTS
Aromatherapeutic bubble bath, price n/a
Fairmont Hotels and Resorts
fairmont.com Fairmont will sell room amenities for the first time, starting in its hotel stores in May. New bath lines are by Britain's Miller Harris -- in citron for urban hotels and "Fleur du Matin" to "encourage relaxation" at resort properties. "The stuff we had in the bathroom before was so cheap that no one would have wanted to buy it," says a spokeswoman.
Bulgari boxed set, $100
Ritz Carlton
ritzcarltonshops.com Complimentary in all rooms this year, set includes soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and a "bath tea" sachet, all scented with White Tea fragrance. But the signature Bulgari perfume is available only in sample bottles in the hotel's suites -- or for $55 to $75 on the site. Other offerings include "Rain Forest" shower head, bathrobes in four knits.
Double-sided vanity mirror, $125
W Hotels
whotelsthestore.com The W has sold this magnifying mirror, with touch-activated brightness controls, since 2004, adding to a lineup that included a Footprint Scale with molded chrome "prints" ($68). But $135 spa robes are still the hotel's top sellers.

Pink Rubber Duck, $15
Beverly Hills Hotel
beverlyhillshotel.com The hotel says rubber duckies it started selling a few years ago aren't just for kids, but the new $90 children's velour bathrobes are. Hotel also sells "faucet pals" ($20) -- puppets that fit over handles and faucets to prevent young bathers from getting banged up in the tub.
Scented bathroom candles, $25
Sofitel
soboutique.com Sofitel's online boutique began selling bath products by French perfumer Roger & Gallet just over a year ago. Also on offer: body milk ($15) and eau de cologne ($33).

Shower Seat
A shower seat may be just what you need to improve your time in the shower. Shower seats make bath time much easier and safer than it would otherwise be. You no longer have to worry about slipping and falling when you are sitting on a shower seat. Choose from adjustable shower seats and ones with handles and any other type that you might need.

Towel Warmer
It can be hard to convince yourself to leave the warm comfort of your morning shower, especially in the winter, but a towel warmer certainly helps. There is no hardship in leaving the warmth of your shower when you know that you’ve got a warm towel waiting for you on the other side.

Clothes Hamper
Our clothes hampers will certainly not hamper your style – in fact, they might just improve it! There’s no reason to leave your dirty clothes on the floor when you’ve got a great clothes hamper. A clothes hamper also helps you get those dirty clothes to the laundry machine with ease.

Curved Shower Rod
Aren’t you just sick of your shower curtain clinging to your wet body as you shower? Do you have a smaller bathtub that just makes you feel claustrophobic? If so, a curved shower rod may be the perfect thing for you. The rod curves out from the bathtub to give you more elbow room, and it makes it feel like you’ve increased the size of your bathtub.
