Paramount House Hotel ‘Lobby Boy’ Vending Machine

Making its debut in the lobby this year, the Paramount Hose Hotel Vending machine – affectionately nicknamed ‘Lobby Boy’ – is now a permanent fixture. But don’t come looking for a packet of chips.

Lobby Boy is the latest way of ensuring that the guests of Paramount House Hotel have everything they need to feel right at home.

Wrapped in an original artwork by the hotel’s long time collaborator, Sonny Day, it displays a carefully curated array of thoughtfully selected items. Just like the rooms themselves, nothing is here by accident. The people behind Paramount House Hotel have each contributed items they themselves would want to find in a hotel. Whether that’s because it’s a very particular travel item that they have found useful on one of their trips, or because it’s a completely impractical item (like vinyl EPs), because they love them, and also, why not?

While Lobby Boy articulates the hotel’s unique style, he also provides answers for some of the most common guest requests – face masks, mints, socks? Some of the worthwhile mentions include: a series of original hand painted timber artworks by Marty Baptist and a bespoke kit for lovers (designed to help take your night from good to great). There’s a dry shampoo to help you on your journeys, revitalising eye drops, as well as packs of Supreme socks and boxers – with new and unique items being added regularly.

he Lovers’ Kit is a particular passion project for the hotel (no pun intended). We all know that people are having sex in hotels. We’ve done it. You’ve done it. A recent study by Expedia found that 65% of travellers are having sex in hotels while on vacation.

At Paramount House Hotel we believe that a night away can really be enhanced by a few key additions that keep it safe and sexy. But, when looking around for something for guests to enjoy, there was nothing that aroused our interest.

So the PHH Lovers’ Kit is our own curated collection of items that are inclusive and enjoyable for every lover. The kit includes a bespoke set of sex dice, that when rolled together result in an action and a location. One dice determines what you are going to do, while the other names a specific part of our hotel rooms to give a sense of place – but we have kept them dynamic so that they can also be taken away and enjoyed in any room. Condoms feature an original banana artwork by Sonny Day and some special items from sexual wellness company, Unbound, add a layer of intensity and playfulness – like their Jelly lube, bodysafe silicone ‘Cuffies’ and stretchy smooth silicone cock-ring, nicknamed ‘Bandit’.

All these items come in a neatly designed PHH Lovers’ Kit box, with the phrase in collaboration with one of Australia’s most beloved cult meme sites, Brown Cardigan, that reads: ‘Did you fall from heaven? Because, have sex with me”.

Curated with just the right amount of intrigue, play, and pleasure to elevate an intimate evening. The PHH Lovers’ Kit is a collection worth offering to guests, or anyone passing through the Lobby. Lover’s Kit RRP $40
