Hyatt will remove small bottles from hotel bathrooms by 2021

When we were in Japan in May there were no small bottles of shampoo, etc. in any of the hotels we stayed in. Just huge containers of something cheap - but then we don't stay in Hyatts. Budget hotels are more our style.

My wife and I have stayed in budget hotels throughout Japan roughly 70 times this year. There are no small bottles. The large push-bottle type containers of shampoo, rinse and face/body soap in the majority of cases were manufactured by Pola, an upper market brand.

Of course the water bottles is a no brainer, but they could switch to small waxed paper packages for the bathrooms. People aren’t gonna like this when they charge premium prices for their rooms.

There's no reason to place such toiletries in every room in hotels. If upscale places don't want to install the large, wall-mounted options (which is easily done with luxury brands as well), they could offer the customer a toiletries package at check-in for a low fee.

I don't know about other people, but I always carry my own preferred brands in the 100ml size allowed by airlines. Those easily last 2 to 3 weeks which covers most travel itineraries.

If guests have forgotten toiletries, Japan which has a combini within a short distance and sometimes within the hotel complex itself; therefore this perk isn't strictly necessary. Recognizing that it is not environmentally friendly and working to change the disposable culture which has been allowed for decades is a good thing.
