8 affordable candles on Amazon that make your home smell like a luxury hotel lobby

On days when my laundry piles up and you couldn’t pay me to cook dinner, I really wish I lived in a hotel. You know, like Eloise or the Sprouse twins. Just think about it: A restaurant right downstairs, a magically made bed every day and the sheer drama of saying you live in a hotel.

Because the odds of that happening are around zero, I usually satisfy my desire for luxury by sprucing up my space. Basically, after lots of intense and very serious research, I’ve concluded that the best way for your home to feel expensive is if it smells expensive. Yes, I am essentially saying that candles can fix all of your problems.

If you’re craving a beach getaway, purchase a candle that smells like the ocean air and make yourself a margarita. If you want that general calming hotel smell, there are options there too. Plus, there’s no need to pay luxury prices. Amazon (our tried and true) can hook you up with life-changing candles for very real-life prices.

I will never tell you not to book that hotel room, friend. While you’re planning, though, peruse some of these magnificent candles and let the getaway vibes come to you.
