That's because we are constantly getting complaints about how these too-revealing bathrooms are a pain in the um...ass. <p>Now, most of these cheeky bathrooms do provide some way of obtaining privacy when doing your business. The one we liked the best was the automated shade that drops down at the touch of a button at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-photos/full/168/A+Sneak+Peek+Inside+The+James+New+York#5">James New York</a>. But it did take a bit of time to drop down. What if we were in a hurry?

(Or at least we hope to stay in.) And y'all better be ready for some bathtime.<p>The Trump Panama rooms feature a very peekaboo bathroom with a freestanding deep-soaking oval bathtub. As you can see from the picture, the tub is in plain view. No need to turn on the TV for entertainment, just watch your lover splish and splash.

It's bad enough that the TSA can see your junk with their new full-body scans at airports across the U.S. but it turns out you may not get that much privacy relief when you make it to your final destination, thanks to peekaboo bathrooms in hotels.

And it's not just the show-off boutique or arty hotels in New York City that are forcing you to shower and pee in front of the whole room. Even hotels in China now have peekaboo baths!

We recently experienced a remembrance of things past while flipping through our photos of a recent trip to Montreal (did you catch the Proust joke in there?), and wanted to tell you about the hotel we stayed in during our visit, the new Hotel Chez Swann. Named after the main character in Marcel Proust’s magnum opus, In Search of Lost Time, this 23-room property is part boutique hotel, part art gallery.]]> EricRosen 2010-11-24T14:25:43-05:00 Cusco: Cusco's Fallen Angel has a Peekaboo Diorama Bathroom http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/8/30/1450/83432 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/18481/Fallen_Angel_bathroom.JPG" class="top"><p>While we were staying at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/7/12/22343/8620/hotels/High_Altitude_Means_High_End_at_Cusco_s_New_Casa_Cartagena"><b>Casa Cartagena</b></a> in <b><a href="http://www.jaunted.com/city/Cusco">Cusco</a></b> last month, we popped over to the nearby Plazoleta Nazarenas to scope out <b><a href="http://fallenangelincusco.com">Fallen Angel</a></b>, a restaurant-lounge-guest house frequented by the city&#146;s glitterati.<p> There, we fell under the spell of fancy finger foods and odd furnishings like a 10-foot sparkly angel sculpture, tables that are made from bathtubs converted into fish tanks with glass tabletops on them, and bathrooms that are categorized by &#147;Angel&#148; and &#147;Devil&#148; rather than by sex so that patrons can self-segregate depending on their mood that evening. <p> But the restaurant bathrooms have nothing on one of the restrooms we spotted upstairs in one of the four new, equally quirky guest EricRosen 2010-09-07T15:34:45-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
