<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/peekaboo_bath.jpg" class="top"> It is time once again to <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Guess%20the%20Hotel">Guess the Hotel</a>. Where did we wake up? Well, here's a clue. See the magic eye-like photo we posted above? That is actually a view into the newest type of peekaboo bathrooms which are on display at this very hotel. Not sure what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram">magic eye</a> photos are? Then you must not have lived through the 90s. Instead of the "full sight" open bathrooms which briefly dominated the hotel scene for earlier this decade, this hotel decided to attempt Peekaboo Bathrooms 2.0. What is the difference? There is a one way mirror in the bathroom where the person outside the bathroom can look in while the person inside

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/vuhotel_towels.jpg" class="top"> Yes, we spent the night at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Ink48/local/1019">Ink48</a> and our in-depth review will be coming on Monday but we just had to show you this snapshot of the towels inside the bathrooms at the hotel. What do they say? VU. As in <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/4/7/94223/24860/hotels/Will_The_VU_Hotel_Not_Be_Called_The_VU_Hotel_">The Vu Hotel</a>, the hotel's original name. We've inquired about this embroidery mishap and we're waiting to hear back. But we have to say, we really loved the VU name and it was very apropro. The windows in the rooms (which look pretty much identical to what you see on the website) really do offer up some great Manhattan views. Ink48 is a cute name and is also a shout-out to the building's history

Bangkok: Centara Bangkok's Circular Soaking Tub Would Round Out Our Week

MsRebecca — 2009-09-18T14:16:51-05:00

We don't know about you, but we feel like it's been a long week. And one of our favorite ways to unwind at week's end? A soak in the tub. One of the first things we do when entering a hotel room is to duck into the bathroom to check the shower/bath situation. Tubs—or rain showers and extra jets in shower-only setups—usually elicit whoops of glee. So when we saw this photo of the tub from a guest room at the Centara Grand Bangkok we swooned. We may have seen bigger tubs in our hotel travels, but this one is just so damn cute in its roundness. (All that space around it is pretty appealing, too.)

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/34094/oda.jpg" class="top"> To prevent the 10-foot-6-inch-wide rooms at the Bowery's new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com">Lower East Side Hotel</a> from looking cramped, the Office for Design & Architecture, the folks behind the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/24/152413/748/hotels/Renderings_of_SoHo_s_Grand_Street_Hotel_Have_Surfaced">Grand Street Hotel</a>, got rid of the bathrooms. Instead of having a private place to do your business, the hotel puts the glass flash-all-your-bits shower in the middle of the room and the toilet sits in the corner for all to see. The architects' mission was accomplished, since the shower, which looks like a Voss water bottleyou know, those tall fancy glass bottles of water that clubs sell for, like, $10is the main focus. Here's what the architects said about the design: <blockquote>"With the skin of the bathroom removed,

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/guessflourishes.jpg" class="top"> Sigh, we tried to make this <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/guess%20the%20hotel">Guess The Hotel</a> harder for you but short of photographing the rug, there simply wasn't any way. Nevertheless, we will carry on with the pretense and play the game. Dedicated readers of HotelChatter know the drill but in case you're new, here's how it works. We put up a snapshot of a hotel somewhere in this great wide world and drop a few hints about the place. Then you <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/8/10/18104/6429/hotels/Guess_The_Hotel_s_Bathroom_Wallpaper_Flourish#comment-block">put in your guesses in comments below</a>. And away we go. · These are new accommodations in Las Vegas. · There are floor to ceiling windows in the room, six pillows on the bed and a $7.00 resort fee.
