Hotels reveal the most BIZARRE and PRICEY items that guests leave behind
Hotel guests around the world leave all kinds of stuff in their rooms, from a lizard to a watch worth $6 million.
Some of the more unusual items have been catalogued by Hotels.com as part of their annual ‘Innsights’ report.
The usual suspects in the ‘forgotten items’ category are things you might expect to find, such as dirty laundry, phone chargers, makeup and toiletries. But it’s the more unusual items that catch the eye.
Among them are a number of very valuable personal belongings, such as Rolex watches and a Birkin bag, the value of which can range from $12,000 to as much as $200,000.

A Rolex watch, stacks of cash and a luxury Birkin bag were all left behind by guests. A pet lizard, a chick, a car tire and construction pipes were also reportedly left behind.
Other amazing items left behind by guests include a lizard and a chick, both of which were found and returned to their owners.
While it’s common to leave a phone charger behind, one guest left behind two leg casts and a whopping 10 percent of hotels reported that guests had forgotten their dentures.
Among the most unexplained items left behind are a rice cooker, a tire, a blender, and even some construction pipes, all of which were forgotten by guests at more than 400 hotels worldwide.
Among the more unusual items left in the room are the keys to a luxury car, along with the vehicle’s ownership papers.
Hotel staff often find stacks of cash in the hotel safe, but other valuables have also been found, including a tooth and even an engagement ring.

“By asking hotels to reveal the secrets behind their most memorable stays, we discovered that these inn sights truly inspired the services guests can receive today,” Fish said.
‘From guitar concierges to animal healers, hotels are catering to the unique needs of travelers, and it could become the norm.’
In addition to the lost and found box, the report also detailed some unusual requests from guests for room service.
Among other things, they asked for four pounds of bananas, a bathtub filled with Evian water for a spoiled young guest, some burnt toast and a hot dog with caviar.
