Definitely a place to lose yourself in the artwork! We enjoyed a suite with fantastic murals that included glow in the dark paint (not in the bedroom). Street noise was not an issue and our location was great! Easy access to China Town (gate was just up the block), Union Square, and fantastic restaurants. Staff was helpful, room was clean, and price was great. Truly a work of art…[Tripadvisor]
Our swanky bathroom at the hotel in Prague
Although Prague’s origins as a town can be traced back to around 870 AD with the foundation of Prague Castle, modern Prague is an oasis of contemporary culture and cool architecture. Swish boutique hotels also flourish in the Czech Republic’s capital city such as the property featured above.
We love avant-garde bathroom designs here at HotelThrone.com, although this image also makes our eyes water!

This hotel in Anaheim uses some interesting branded wall sconces to light up their bathrooms. We assume that this white gloved hand is inspiring a sense of five-star service delivery at this hotel property. At the same time, this four-fingered hand looks somehow strangely familiar…
We’ll figure it out soon enough; it’s a small world after all.

Boutique hotels around the world are embracing transparent partitions between the bedroom and the bath. Perhaps this design innovation is meant to inspire a feeling of intimacy, or maybe to offset an uber-small sized guestroom with the illusion of space.
Either way, “Catinlap”, featured below gives us a live demonstration at the Cliff Lodge at Snowbird Mountain in Utah. Thanks to Catinlap for helping us decide for ourselves whether this new bathroom styling is as cool as we thought.
The bathrooms in the Cliff Lodge at Snowbird have a European–strike that–Yourapeein’ feature: a window that looks directly into the room. I guess you can shower and watch the cars pull up to the resort. Here Catinlap demonstrates by fake pissing what the horror would be like to be in the room with someone who doesn’t shut the curtains.

This men’s room mockery at the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino is a variation on a hilarious theme that we have featured before. It never gets tired for us here at HotelThrone.com!

Hotels don’t often use high-end bathroom fixtures with brand names like Kohler. For one thing, residential-style fixtures aren’t necessarily made to take the amount of use that commercial hotel fixtures receive on a daily basis.
It isn’t that guests use the faucets differently from at home, but rather that housekeeping also uses them daily when servicing the guestroom.
The other factor is, of course, price. Brands like Kohler aren’t known to be the cheapest in the catalogue.
When you stay in a hotel in Kohler, Wisconsin however - you can be sure that you’ll be using top shelf bathroom fixtures. After all, head offices for the Kohler company really are in Kohler, Wisconsin.
Check out this golden hotel faucet set from the luxury American Club Hotel, along with a very nice porcelain floral fixture at Kohler’s Design Center.
We spent Thanksgiving at this resort in Kohler, Wisconsin…yes Kohler. Each room has really NICE fixtures.
The Kohler Design Center is the place to go to see the most spectacular bathrooms you’ve ever seen. It’s actually a tourist attraction in Kohler.

No matter how contemporary upscale hotel designs become, we can always count on a few standards to be in place - like traditional bathroom signage.
We love images of hotel bathroom signage “people” here at HotelThrone.com. Two people, him and her, perfectly complementary against a deep red velour backdrop. Never touching, but always together. It almost brings a tear to our eyes. But not quite.

It only took four days for me to forget my ring for the first time. Left it on the bathroom counter while we went out to explore the hotel.
Housekeeping room attendants are used to finding items like these on hotel bathroom vanities in hotels around the world.
A word to the wise…should you ever forget your valuables in your hotel guestroom, make sure to pick up a phone and call houskeeping right away. Remember, hotels will never call you at home to tell you they have found something valuable that you might have left behind. It’s not that hotels are dishonest, it’s simply a legal matter.
Hotels do not need any more lawsuits from angry guests suing because the hotel called their “home number” to tell someone their “partner” left some underwear in their Toronto Hotel, when the partner was supposed to be in Spusm on business.
Bali is famous for many forms of art, including painting, sculpture, woodcarving, and performing arts.
At the Tepi Sawah Villas and Spa, the resort manages to turn bathroom amenities into a work of art.

San Francisco’s Hotel California changed its name from the “Savoy” hotel in October, 2006. We think. Well, the hotel website is at TheSavoyHotel.com but the name of the hotel is actually the Hotel California. We’re confused.
And some guests are confused too:
hotel is small and was advertised on expedia as “the savoy”. not very happy at that as it took ages to find. it had a name change a couple of weeks prior to us going and they had not told us.
And watch out for housekeeping:
The jacuzzi tub in the bathroom would have been a nice touch, if (#1) it had worked… and (#2) if it had been clean. There was hair both in the tub and a huge glob of green slimy hair in the drain, which had obviously been there a long time. When housekeeping was called to please clean the tub, they arrived and (since I had already cleaned the gob of hair out of the drain), they concentrated on cleaning the trash can that I’d thrown the hair into…[TripAdvisor]

Remember Jack Torrence and Delbert Grady in the Overlook Hotel in the movie “The Shining”? The movie was filmed at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado.
Although I love this scene, I feel like it’s completely out of place with the rest of the movie locations. This bathroom is ultra mod, whereas everything else has a pretty classic feel to it.

Emily hooked us up with friends, The Stills, so we had hotel luxury at Fuji Rock Festival 2004!

A meditative and serene bathroom throne at the Due Mori Hotel in Marostica, Italy.
This hotel is one of the cleanest you’ll ever stay in regardless of the number of stars and the staff is always congenial and helpful. We speak virtually no Italian, some of the staff speak fluent English and all speak hotel English…[more]

The band hanging out back at the hotel bathroom after playing at Club W71 in Weikersheim, Germany.
Anni Rossi, Tara Barnes, Emily Beezhold & Carla Bozulich on tour in Europe to promote Carla’s new album “Evangelista”.
For a hotel to be rated a Five-Star property, it takes a lot more than just incredible service.
Beds and bedding need to be of a certain discerning quality. There must be a particular array of available hotel services and amenities…and the public area bathrooms definitely need to have stall walls that come right down to the floor.
And now you know why!
