London’s Savoy Hotel. How’s that for a Bathroom?

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

Fairmont’s Savoy Hotel in London is one of the world’s great hotels. Full of history, tradition and luxury - the Savoy represents the very best in British hospitality. And their WC is pretty sweet to boot.

“The hotel’s horrible, bum-destroying toilet paper”

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Jez and Brooke are typical hotel guests. Although they expect to get decent value for the price they pay, they don’t necessarily expect the very best quality in everything. They do, however, expect a reasonable effort to be made in minding the details, especially in the bathroom arena. And they’re not afraid to speak their minds if things aren’t right, either.

…at the Copthorne Tara Kensington in London I sent a message to the hotel manager and got replacement TP and a note, but really this is the most stunningly appalling TP for any respectable hotel to offer and they should just fricking upgrade it, the cheap bastards.

True Relaxation at the Hotel Du Vin, Brighton

Monday, October 30th, 2006

There is much discussion in the hotel industry about new hotel bathroom designs starting to phase out the traditional bathtub. Issues around water conservation and decreasing guestroom size seem to be dictating the removal of the classic soaker tub.

Not so at the 37 room Hotel Du Vin in Brighton, England. This boutique hotel has not only embraced the bathroom as a luxury amenity - but it has raised the bar even further by placing it right in the middle of the living area in select guestrooms.

That’s the way we like it here at HotelThrone.com!

A Moment at London’s Regent Palace Hotel

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Sometimes we sacrifice certain comforts for a good price, especially in a city like London where hotel room rates are known to be on the super high side. Of course, combine budget price with a sweet Piccadilly Circus location and you might be even more forgiving?

“…didn’t expect the Ritz, so I was expecting a low budget hotel and the location can’t be beat. However nice the lobby, restaurant and bar were, the upstairs was a different story. The doors to everyone’s rooms and bathrooms BANG, BANG,BANG all the time. The showers could do with a good scrubbing and mildew treatment. They should close down for a while and totally do a makeover. I’d love to stay here again, but…[more]“

Paramount Majestic Hotel Office

Majestic, originally uploaded by Trois Tetes (TT).

The Gents toilets at the Majestic Hotel are so spacious that there are potted plants and a settee. Very pleasant!!!

We love this image of the Gent’s office at the Paramount Majestic Hotel Harrogate in England. Not too many hotels would focus such attention on a public area floor shine…at least in THIS public area! We hope the shine is wax, not “missed opportunities”.
