ENJOY YOUR STAY
Hotel Lobby Candle was inspired by the idea that it's entirely possible to bring the luxury hotel experience into your home in the form of a candle.
Our candles are handmade in the USA with an all natural 100% soy wax and hand-painted glass vessels designed just for you. Full-sized candles are 9.75 oz and have a 65-hour burn time.

Our Story
In 2020, COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill.
One of life’s pleasures we missed the most was the magic of a long-awaited vacation (and we were pretty sure we weren’t alone).
So we had an idea: If we couldn’t leave our homes, could we bring the five-star hotel experience to us?
Each candle is inspired by scent memories from some of our favorite places...
The electric energy of Miami.
The mystery and romance of Paris.
The balmy, be-happy vibes of the Caribbean.
And we’re just getting started.
Meet Our Founder
I’m Lindsay, founder of Hotel Lobby Candle. I spent a decade writing and editing for magazines like Town & Country, Vogue, and Elle Decor (to date, I’ve traveled to 62 countries).
Today, I apply that same reporter’s approach to my lifestyle blog & Instagram account, where I share carefully-vetted product recommendations, beauty tips and travel advice to a community of nearly 200,000 people.
I live between New York City and Miami with my husband (who is also my business partner) and our mini long-haired Dachshund. Nothing brings me more joy than ordering a martini in a hotel lobby bar...and turn-down service is my love language.
I wanted to create a candle that transported people without ever having to leave home. It needed to be beautiful, smell incredible and, most importantly, be of the highest quality.
I hope you love them!
We use an all-natural soy wax (made with US-grown soybeans) and lead-free cotton wicks. Our candles are also free of phthalates, parabens, and sulfates, and synthetic dyes.
ASK US ANYTHING
01
What are your candles made out of?
We use an all natural soy wax, made from US grown soybeans.
Soy burns cooler and longer than paraffin, and as a renewable resource, it is superior for the environment. We believe that uncolored soy is not only safer to burn, but is also more beautiful in its natural color.
Our wicks are lead-free and are made of braided cotton.
Please note that our candles are made from all natural ingredients. Slight changes in color and small imperfections in the wax are perfectly normal, and will not affect the performance of your candle. We recommend burning your candles within one year for best performance.
02
Are your fragrances natural?
Our fragrances are a combination of essential oils and fragrance oils. All of our fragrances are phthalate-free and adhere to RIFM and IFRA standards for safety and purity.
03
What is the fragrance load?
Each candle boasts a 10% fragrance load.
04
How do I burn my candle evenly?
05
Can I repurpose my candle?
Hell yea you can!
We actually designed our candles so that you'd be excited to repurpose them. Read our guide to removing the wax from your candle glass, and then check out these awesome suggestions for clever ways to reuse it.
