Room Service, Upgraded
Room service used to mean chips and a film. Now it’s a Biodance Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask, a sleep spray that actually works, and a clutch of insider-approved launches waiting on your pillow when you check in.
Last week, LOOKFANTASTIC partnered exclusively with Hyde London City, Ennismore's bohemian-chic hotel just steps from the Old Bailey, to launch the Self-Care Room Service: three expertly considered in-room beauty edits, each priced at £60, designed to meet you exactly where you are on your trip.
This is the LOOKFANTASTIC experience, checked in.
The Expertise Behind the Edits
We've been doing this for a long time and we know which products earn their place in your bag and which ones belong on your bathroom shelf.
So, when our team of experts built these room service edits for Hyde guests, we didn't pull together a random assortment of arbitrary products. Instead, we thought about the moments travellers actually face - from the forgotten serum, the jet-lagged skin, the 3am restlessness and the desire to arrive back home actually feeling and looking refreshed.
Each edit is travel-sized for convenience but make no mistake: these are not minis. They’ve been selected so you don’t have to worry about them taking up extra space in your luggage.
The 3 Edits: What's Inside and Why They Work
The 'I Forgot Everything' Edit
The SOS kit - because forgetting your routine doesn't mean your skin should suffer for it.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is the one cleanser that has never needed replacing. The collagen-rich formula melts away makeup, SPF and city grime while leaving skin feeling cared for, not stripped. Meanwhile, the rich, velvety texture leaves your complexion glowing and nourished. If you've never tried it, this is the best possible introduction.
Erborian Skin Therapy Multi-Perfecting Night Oil-Serum (10ml) is Korean beauty at its finest! Erborian's Seoul-meets-Paris formulation is evidenced by this oil-serum hybrid. The product layers weightlessly, works overnight to restore radiance and suppleness and is ideal for travel, when skin tends to react to recycled air and disrupted routines.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream (28ml) is the moisturiser that sits in the permanent rotation of skincare experts for a reason - with an ingredients list containing Antarctic glacial glycoprotein and squalane, and a formula trusted since 1989, for long journeys and AC, this is the one.
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Travel Dry Shampoo because great hair and a long-haul flight don't have to be mutually exclusive.
The 'I Need to Reset' Edit
Not every trip is a holiday, sometimes the body needs help slowing down before it can properly rest.
This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray (75ml) if you've heard of it, you already know. If you haven't, the formula uses a clinically studied blend of chamomile, vetivert, and lavender to create the kind of sensory combination that signals to your nervous system that it's safe to switch off. Spray it on your pillow, breathe, and let it work.
Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask is K-beauty's answer to intensive hydration. A translucent, self-dissolving collagen mask that adheres to every contour of the face and delivers moisture where skin needs it most. By morning, the difference is a visibly plumper, smoother and more settled complexion.
DIRTEA Reishi Powder, The Calm Mushroom - functional mushroom wellness has moved well beyond trend status. Reishi, the adaptogen used in eastern medicine for centuries is now central to a serious conversation about stress, cortisol, and sustained calm. DIRTEA's powder blends easily into warm water or milk; the ritual of making it is part of the effect.
This Works Choose Calm Kit features a trio of daily essentials designed to work together: a body oil, pillow spray, and a calming balm. Consistent sensory rituals are one of the most evidence-backed ways to improve sleep quality and this kit gives you a complete one in your palm.
The 'Insider' Edit
The edit that changes. This one is put together by the LOOKFANTASTIC Insiders, our community of beauty experts, editors, and enthusiasts who test, review, and rate products before anyone else does. The current edit includes:
Moroccanoil Treatment Mist (25ml) - the argan oil-infused, instantly absorbing hair treatment in a convenient mist form.
Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator (15ml) is the standard against which many moisturisers are measured. With hyaluronic acid and activated aloe water in a gel-cream texture that works across almost every skin type, the formula continuously draws moisture to the surface long after application.
Ole Henriksen Peach Glaze Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment (12ml) - lip care has had a serious upgrade. This peptide-enriched formula plumps, conditions, and catches the light in a single swipe.
Valentino Born In Roma Donna Eau de Parfum (10ml) is a fragrance that opens with notes of jasmine rice and settles into vanilla and wood, making it complex, modern and worth wearing on a night out in the city. The 10ml is the ideal travel companion, enough for a full stay.
The insider edit refreshes as new launches arrive, so every stay brings something different.
How to Use Your Edit
For anyone building a routine with unfamiliar products, here's the logic behind the order, because order matters in skincare.
Cleanse - treat - moisturise. Always.
If you're using the I Need to Reset Edit, cleanse first, apply the Biodance mask and let it dissolve fully. Follow with This Works pillow spray (spray the pillow before you get into bed). The reishi can be taken before bed or first thing in the morning.
If you're using the I Forgot Everything Edit, the balm cleanses, the Erborian oil-serum treats overnight, and the moisturiser locks in that hydration. That's a complete 3-step routine. No complexity required.
Hyde London City sits in a Grade II-listed building a stone's throw from the Old Bailey. The 111 rooms carry the bohemian-chic energy the brand is known for. Expect considered interiors, a free-spirited atmosphere and a sense that the people staying here have taste.
LOOKFANTASTIC's role in that space isn't to fill it with product. It's to add something useful, something that fits. The edits are available across all 111 rooms or as part of a dedicated bookable package, meaning they can be planned as a treat or discovered as a welcome surprise.
As Keely Gough, Managing Director of LOOKFANTASTIC, put it: "beauty has the power to elevate everyday moments. Through our Self-Care Room Service edits, we're making it easier than ever for travellers to feel their best whether they need a reset or simply the essentials they've left behind."
That's the brief we always set ourselves.
