Hotel Lobby Candle reviews and discussion

I love Hotel Lobby Candle. The scents, however, are inconsistent. This is a brand where I find myself more loyal to a scent than the overarching promise that I'll love every single product from the brand. In each order I place, I find that I love one, and could honestly take or leave one candle... so a 50% success rate. My "love"s: London (the diffuser-- not the candle! Weirdly, the candle smells totally different), Holiday, Fifth Avenue, Linen (smells absolutely nothing like linen) My "just okay"s: London (the candle-- the diffuser is fab), Spa (smells like PineSol) These are a great gift-- the box and packaging is super luxe. I do feel they're very very pricey for what you get, so I only buy on sale.

I’ve purchased a number of candles from this brand and the fragrances are really hit or miss for me - I really like Miami and Aspen, and have repurchased both. One is definitely a summer fragrance and one is definitely a winter fragrance. Signature and Napa both smell like older woman perfumes. Blue Skies was like any candle you would buy from Target. New York and Paris Nuit are too smoky and overpowering to make sense in my little house - those truly should be hotel lobby fragrances only. There are more consistent, cooler brands, especially at this price point.

I love the color and concept for this candle. It reminds me of spring and tennis! The quality of packaging was amazing and would make a great gift. The fragrance was pretty good but did have a little bit of a fake grass smell to my husband. We burned it last night and it did smell fresh and didn’t give me a headache like some candles in the past have. I would continue to purchase other fragrances from this company

The quality and packaging of Hotel Lobby candles are fantastic!. However, the Racquet Club scent just wasn’t for me. To my nose, it leans heavily into an allspice note that wasn't quite what I was expecting in a "crisp, verdant, and green" description. That said, the burn quality and throw are excellent, and I’m definitely excited to try another scent from the brand soon.

This is a *gift* to yourself or an easy gift for someone else. I love the packaging and the insert that comes with it. The candles are all quite strong, even having them out unlit gave off a scent. I am still working through, but am impressed so far.

New favorite housewarming/hostess gift. The packaging is luxe, scent is unique and tasteful. I’ve been trying this brand for awhile, and have to say, they do not disappoint. This will be my go-to gift to give for the foreseeable future.

GORGEOUS packaging and scents. I went crazy for my first order and got seven candles because I couldn't decide and there isn't a single one I don't like. I expected to like the signature one more but New York and Napa were easy favorites followed by Paris Nuit and Aspen for the holidays in particular. I'll probably save them as gifts because I'm not sure I can waste the packaging and keycard on myself, and gosh are they kind of tiny. I'll be a bit honest I was shocked when I opened the package and saw how small they are. They are absolutely lux though but I haven't lit one yet BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO NICE AND TINY AND EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO LIGHT. I need to give one to my mom so she can tell me how lovely it is. I probably would not purchase again for how how much money I just dropped on candles of all things, but I also don't regret it. Make of that what you want (painting nails emoji).

These candles smell sooo good! Even just out of the box, before even lighting it, my room is immediately fragrant. Packaging is luxurious and secure- wax melts evenly and little loss even after several hours.

I followed all the instructions for burning the candle for the first time, but it burned very unevenly which is frustrating for an expensive candle. The smell was very powerful, but I didn't love this particular scent. I also bought the New York candle, and that scent seems better. Unfortunately, I probably will not buy again.

The design is elegant and the scents create a calm vibe in my space. I wish the throw was a little stronger and the burn lasted longer but I still enjoy the overall experience. They're great and cute gift, but kinda pricey

I recently ordered the New York Gift Set from Hotel Lobby Candle, and it completely exceeded my expectations. From the unboxing to the burn, everything about this set feels luxurious and intentionally crafted. Packaging & First Impressions: The gift set presentation is absolutely stunning — elevated, minimal, and ready to display. Each mini candle in the set has its own personality, but they all tie back to the polished, cozy elegance the brand is known for. It felt like unwrapping a curated experience. Scent Profiles & Burn: Every candle in the New York set captures a different mood, from warm and grounded to fresh and upscale. The scent throw is impressive for the size—each one fills the room without overpowering it. The burn is clean, and the mini sizes still last longer than I expected. Would I Repurchase?: Yes—especially for gifts or when I want to test new scents before committing to a full size. This set made my home feel like a boutique hotel suite in the city. It's a perfect treat-yourself moment or a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves luxe home details. Hotel Lobby Candle nailed it with this one—sophisticated, beautifully designed, and truly transportive.

These are pricey candles but they do smell great when you have your nose directly to them. And the jars are chic and aesthetically pleasing. They give good ideas on how to reuse the jars once your candle has fully melted. The holiday scents are wonderful but very classic - not sure I would invest in those at this price point. I own the Pairs Nuit and haven't come across the scent combo elsewhere yet.

I love their clean packaging. Candles look very high end and smell really good. They last for a long time so I do not have to keep buying it every week
