Catriona Rowntree has revealed the surprising hotel hacks she swears by after hosting the travel documentary show Getaway for 27 years.
The Nine star, 53, revealed several little known tips for smart hotel hopping during an interview with Escape, which resurfaced on Saturday.
After almost three decades of travelling across the world and staying in thousands of hotels, Catriona said there were 11 hacks she always followed.
When asked which hotel tips she swears by, the mother-of-one said: ‘Never drink the water. Turn off the air-con immediately to avoid catching a cold.
‘On a cruise, book a salon treatment the moment you board and get all the location goss from the beautician.
‘Never take candles or hair straighteners/tongs on a cruise ship. Travel in the shoulder season, never the high.’

She continued: ‘Use a local travel concierge if you’d like a more authentic experience. Never touch the mini bar they’re always overpriced.
‘Take a little sample of your favourite coffee/tea. Photograph where you parked your car at the airport, as I guarantee you’ll return pooped and forget where you left it.
‘If you like boiled eggs, take an egg cup from home, no one ever seems to supply them. Always be nice to whoever is checking you in.’
Catriona added that using ‘a genuine smile and kindness’ with check-in staff at hotels ‘is always rewarded’.
It comes after the TV presenter proved the depth of her love for the popular Stan neo-western series Yellowstone by dressing up as a fan-favourite character.
The long-time Getaway presenter shared a sweet picture to Instagram as she her husband James Pettit dressing up as ranchers Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.
The youthful-looking presenter was all smiles as she donned an eye-popping pink sundress, similar to those worn by the character played by English star Kelly Reilly.
Her long blonde locks were elegantly styled in a manner similar to how Kelly wears hers on the hit series, set on the largest ranch in Montana.

James looked dapper in an unbuttoned black jacket, blue jeans, aviator sunglasses and a cowboy hat in his best impression of the ranch hand played by Cole Hauser.
The happy couple beamed as they cosplayed the two iconic characters from the popular American TV series.
Catriona captioned the photo: ‘Well buddy, what did you think of the @yellowstone finale? Thoughts?
‘Is this the last time I’ll be pulling out this homage pic (from our combined birthday party) to our beloved Beth ‘n’ Rip Dutton?
‘Or do you think a spin-off might actually happen? Either way, my fresh farmer and I kinda loved the last episode. You?’
