Hotel Bathrooms

Showers in cupboards, noisy extractor fans, dodgy plumbing. I really have a thing about hotel bathrooms. I like two things in a bathroom. Multiple light sources, ideally of different colour temperatures (bit of a snob that way), and ideally a window to the outside world. It is very rare to get the second thing. Bathrooms by there very nature tend to be close to the core of the building where all the services are.

I have stayed in hotels with both, indeed I had a great hotel in the UK once where you could lie in the bath and look out the window to the beach below. Might have freaked a few tourist out though…

The multiple light source thing is a redundancy issue as I always seem to get the room where all the light bulbs are about to blow. I also like to be able to see to shave. Is it too much to ask ?? Note to the hotel designers out there. Lights above the sink, and general room lighting please.

If there must be an extractor fan can it not sound like an airliner taking off? Also please don’t make the fan start auto-magically when it detects a certain amount of moisture in the air. That always scares the poo out of me.
