I’ve written broadly about my hotel pet peeves, as we all have our own preferences when staying at hotels. Regardless of whether we’re talking about luxury or limited service hotels, I appreciate a functional and well designed bathroom. There are certain hotel bathroom design choices that drive me bonkers, and leave me scratching my head.
Along those lines, there was recently a national story about how hotel bathroom design keeps getting worse. I’d like to talk about that a bit, and then share the hotel bathroom design choices that frustrate me the most.
In this post:
For example, take SAX Paris, Hilton LXR. The below bathroom looks stylish, right? Double sinks in a room the size of a broom closet is nice, but the issue is then that there’s virtually no counter space. So it’s a situation where I almost wish the sinks were smaller (or there were one sink), so that there would be more room to actually place things. And don’t even get me started on how the sinks sprayed, and how they were oddly difficult to use.

Bottom line
There are many things that contribute to a good hotel stay, including functional and thoughtfully designed bathrooms.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
