Possibly the Worst Peekaboo Bathroom Yet

Last we checked, it seemed that nobody really enjoyed the whole "peekaboo" bathroom trend. This new seethrough-restroom thing that hotel designers seem to be into nowadays appears to appeal to very few of the folks who actually need to use these seethrough-restrooms, and having our jiggly bits displayed to our hotel room-mates — and, good lord, our private business exposed — does not particularly scream sex and sensuality. If there are places to forgo function for style, we think everyone is in agreement that the commode and body-cleaning area is not the place to do so.

But this one may be one of the worst we've seen: check out this snapshot of the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore, dropped into the HotelChatter Flickr Pool by lyh1. Doesn't this sort of remind you of what would happen if an aquarium, a bathroom and one of those picture frames you used to make at summer camp (back when Hawaiian prints were super trendy, by the way) all got together and had a baby?

The photog had a bit to say about the room itself as well:

This is an airport hotel connected to Terminal 3 of Changi Airport Singapore. Billed as a 5-star luxury hotel, this is more like a 4 star to me. Room amenities are complete like a tub, rain shower, LCD TV etc but on closer inspection, I feel a lot of the furniture and fittings in the room are not exactly of high standard.

Guh. But back to the bathroom: this is probably one of the most at once offensive and harmless-looking peekaboos we've seen — and the flowers aren't even strategically placed. In all fairness, though, the photog does mention that there are privacy blinds if needed. Rates here start at around $135 USD.

    If Its All About The Rooms

    then I would agree it looks terrible but if you look at the overall design of the building (with the flower motif reflected on the exterior of the building) those 'hawaii'prints (I would think them as orchids) make sense. In fact its one of those peek-a-boo bathrooms which make sense and actually fit together.
    And of course, I have been in the room, so I would like to say my comments actually qualify, since none of you guys/gals have actually been there and are mouthing off based on a picture? And of course, I am a Singaporean and there are a whole lot worse hotels in the world, 5 star or not. At the end of the day, star ratings really mean nothing if you don't get any rest and that bed in the room really works.
