Anthropologie’s Suite Dreams Collection Will Make Your Spare Room Feel Like a 5-Star Guest Retreat – Complete With Whimsical, French-Inspired Flair
Playful, pattern-rich, and finished with just the right amount of sophistication, Anthropologie's guest decor range is what the French would call 'très chic'
Contrary to popular belief, summer hosting isn't limited to the porch and the patio. If you're like me, and you're constantly telling friends and family to ‘just stay the weekend’, then hosting becomes a whole-house affair – and it requires more than laying fresh sheets on the bed in your guest bedroom.
Lucky for us, Anthropologie has just released an entire collection centered around at-home hosting. Cleverly named 'Suite Dreams', this range is brimming with hosting essentials that'll make your visitors feel like they've just checked into a 5-star resort.
Blending the French B&B aesthetic with Anthropologie’s signature whimsical flair, the collection gives classic hosting necessities a chic yet playful twist. Think soap canisters and trinket dishes painted with winged jaguars, checker-printed serving trays that look whimsical yet resort-worthy, and even decorative luggage racks that bring at-home hospitality to a new, design-led level.
Room service, anyone? Give your guests the full hotel experience by bringing them coffee in bed with Anthropologie's Jodelle Bar Tray, the Bistro Tile French Press, and the Nephthys Foster Hotel Dog Mug.
My favorite features of the collection are undoubtedly the trinkets that, though small, do so much to make guest spaces look and feel thoughtfully designed. From the room key-shaped bottle opener to the hotel-inspired door hangers, these little touches go a long way in elevating guest bedrooms. But if the space needs more than that, fret not. This collection also boasts so much more, including assortment of bedsheets (like the highly-rated Maeve Organic Cotton Percale Sheet Set) and even bedroom furniture (the Tasha Lacquer Armoire is such a chic pick).
So, if hosting is your love language and you're eager to make your guests feel like they've entered a boutique hotel when they stay the weekend at your house, then Anthropologie's Suite Dreams Collection is what you need to shop. Find my top picks from the collection below.

Complete your guest bed set up with this decorative pillow. It's bound to add texture to the scene with its uniquely beaded motif. And for a fun surprise, flip it over to reveal its playfully checkered backside.
No furnishing or decor feature will make your guest bedroom feel more hotel-inspired than a luggage rack. This one features a vibrant cotton cover that can support your belongings, but for a more traditional model, opt for the Rippled Wood Luggage Rack, instead.
This trinket tray will give your guests a place to drop their jewelry, wallet, or other small belongings as they enter their room. With its flying jaguar and checker printed design, this tray is a fun and whimsical addition to the room's design scheme.
The boutique hotel aesthetic doesn't have to be limited to your guest bedroom. In fact, this collection features decor picks that take chic resort style to other areas of the home – including this dessert plate. Get a few to use to serve sweets in your kitchen on a special occasion.
I'm a big fan of using cloth napkins in place of paper napkins. This set of four – with their whimsical, hotel-inspired motifs – can easily help you channel hotel vibes in your home. Leave them on the bedside table in your guest bedroom to encourage guests to use them.
This matching mug and saucer set is such a chic touch to keep in a guest suite. And even if you don't reserve it for visitors, its boutique hotel-inspired look will make you feel like you're on vacation – even if it's actually a weekday morning and your drinking coffee before work.
Your guests will really feel like they're staying in a hotel when they see this detail. Like the 'do not disturb' signs on hotel doors, this door hanger can gracefully hang on the exterior of your guest's bedroom door. It's a thoughtful touch that'll make your spare bedroom feel much more like a guest suite.
Rather than setting aside an old bath towel for your guest, treat them to something fresh, new, and reserved just for them. This bath towel is such a chic choice with its ochre-tone and scallop border. Plus, its cotton material makes it extra soft.
When your guests arrive, surprise them with something special – like a bottle of champagne or white wine. This sleek silver ice bucket is the perfect place to stash it. And after they leave, use it in your kitchen to hold your own bottles.
With Anthropologie's Suite Dreams Collection, your guest suite is sure to feel like it belongs in a 5-star retreat – so much so that your visitors may never want to leave the room.
But if there's one thing that'll make them eager to venture elsewhere, it's an outdoor party – and we have the perfect outdoor hosting checklist that'll help you plan for the occasion.
