Eight Enchanting Hotel Bathrooms That Elicit the Desire for Permanent Residency
POV: You've just arrived at a hotel and picked up your room key. You insert the card into the door lock and step inside, making it your temporary sanctuary. What's the first thing you do?
Maybe you draw back the curtains to take in the view. Or if relaxation is what you seek after a long day of travel, perhaps you plop down on the bed to feel its softness. You might head straight to the mini bar to check out what's available. These are all worth exploring, but first, I'll guide you through the bathroom.
It's true that we spend more time in a hotel room's living area than its bathroom. But there's a certain luxury in a spacious shower, jacuzzi, and plush robe. A cramped bathroom with a small shower and rough towels can make even the best hotels feel less than satisfying.
For those seeking a soothing spa-like experience--or planning a bathroom renovation soon--we're taking you on a virtual tour of some of the most stunning bathrooms inside hotels around the world.
01of 09## Pier Sixty-Six
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Tropical modern elegance was the goal when Pier Sixty-Six renovated its Presidential Suite's two-bedroom, two-bathroom this fall. And they hit the mark. To pay homage to the property's 1960s roots, the bathrooms feature custom tiles, green stone accents, rich wood detailing, and mid-century modern style. Although you can't see them in this image, guests can also enjoy deep free-standing bathtubs and rain showers with frosted glass doors.
02of 09## The Court
Seaside, Florida
With a serene space to wash away any travel stress just steps from a white sandy beach, each of the eight guest rooms at The Court boutique hotel features an impressive bathroom. The remarkable, glass-doored shower with a built-in teak bench and tandem showerheads located on opposite ends of the walk-in closet-sized shower is a standout feature. Would you prefer to rinse off under a rainfall showerhead via a shower wand...or both? Afterward, visitors can slip on their robes and apply SPF at the large marble vanity.
03of 09## The Global Ambassador
Phoenix, Arizona
While layered with color and texture, The Global Ambassador’s bathrooms have more than meets the eye. Rich marble counters, French botanical wall coverings, and luxe curtains are just the tip of the iceberg. Discover thoughtful details that make guests feel like royalty, from the high-tech Dyson hair dryer and Byredo Bal d'Afrique bath products to the incredibly soft and absorbent Kassatex towels and Frette robes.
04of 09## The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner
McLean, Virginia
Book a night in the Presidential Suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner in Northern Virginia, and beyond the fireplace, full kitchen, bedroom, and dining space, you'll find an uber-spacious bathroom. The neutral palate, massive marble features, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors expand the space, making every last drop of water from the shower a delight.
05of 09## Bernardus Lodge and Spa
Carmel Valley, California
At Bernardus Lodge & Spa in the rolling emerald hills of Carmel Valley, the designers aimed to bring a taste of the property's lush 28 acres into each of the 73 guest-room baths. A statement-making feature (like a copper soaking tub and geometric green tiles) and the indoor-outdoor design achieve just that--with flair.
06of 09## Cedar Lakes Estate
Port Jervis, NY
Rustic charm meets modern comforts inside the inviting wood and stone bathrooms at Cedar Lakes Estate. Deep soaking tubs, walk-in showers, and plush robes are appealing, but the real show-stopper is the warmth. The gas fireplace and heated floors create a cozy atmosphere you won't want to leave.
07of 09## Southern Ocean Lodge
Kangaroo Island, Australia
The breathtaking views from the Kangaroo Island cliff tops over the Southern Ocean are even more magical when admired from inside Southern Ocean Lodge’s Baillie Pavilion'. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer uninterrupted views of the ocean and coastal wilderness. A freestanding bathtub and oversized rain shower, mirrors that reflect Mother Nature's magic (and you, while you're getting ready), and natural wood touches create an energizing atmosphere.
08of 09## Conservatorium Hotel
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Each of the 129 guest rooms at Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam's Museum District features a luxurious bathroom. The large walk-in showers, deep soaking tubs, and marble floors are just the beginning. The ample lighting and large mirrors make for an ideal space for getting dressed and ready for a night out. Even the toiletries are a treat, with products from the renowned Amsterdam-based company 'Amsterdam Skin Company.'
While each of the 129 rooms at the renowned Conservatorium Hotel offer a unique experience, the one to splurge on, if funds permit, is the I Adore Amsterdam Suite. Alternatively, if a trip overseas isn't possible, you can swipe design ideas from this room. The suite is adorned with wooden beams and travertine stone, which adds elegance to the two lavish bathrooms. The oversized rainfall showers are a delight, but for the epitome of relaxation, slip into the recessed, built-in bathtub.
Refuge on Camelback Mountain, Gurney's Resort and Spa
Scottsdale, Arizona
With Camelback Mountain in view, there's no better spot at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, Gurney's Resort & Spa than in the Spa Suite's open-air soaking tub. Once the sun sets and Camelback Mountain disappears from sight, guests can gaze at the stars from the bath or its adjacent outdoor shower. For those preferring an indoor soak, large windows allow ample desert serenity, and within, there's a bath and shower equipped with Salt & Stone amenities, along with a plethora of soft towels and robes.
