A Warm Welcome With a Local Twist

Thoughtful moments + local connections

As Archer was planning the hotel experience for his guests, he knew that he wanted to include some sort of welcome treat in the room. The great debate was whether to offer something sweet or something salty. So he gathered his trusted team to taste-test (quite a treat in itself). The group quickly settled on salted caramels — bringing both tastes together in one neat package. Numerous tastings later, they found the perfect consistency.

The Sweet Life

This flavorful journey began in New York, where we partnered with The Sweet Life, a local confectioner. Since then and for each of our locales, we’ve found candy makers that create the best-of-the-best salted caramels in each region.

At every Archer Hotel, guests are greeted in-room with two bottles of sustainable FIJI Water and two mouth-watering salted caramels from our favorite local partners — enjoy with our compliments as a small thank-you for traveling to stay with us.

Fun Caramel Facts

  • Salted caramel was invented by French pastry chef Henri Le Roux in 1977. To make his caramel stand out from the crowd, he incorporated salted butter already made famous in Brittany. The rest is history.
  • Archer distributes approximately 300,000 caramels each year via welcome amenities at each hotel.
  • Jonesing for more? Each hotel sells bundles of its salted caramels to take home with you to share with family and friends (or keep for yourself — we won’t judge).
