Bathtub, Shower, Or Both At The Same Time? What's Your Ideal Hotel Bathroom Setup?

August 14, 2012 at 9:34 AM | by | Comment (1)

Last week, we asked you about hotel check-in rituals, and received quite an assortment of responses. Today, we're focusing on hotel bathing rituals: what are yours?

Having visited a number of hotels, we've seen our fair share of hotel bathrooms. And we've bathed in them plenty, too. But one thing that always confronts us upon checking into a new hotel is whether we indulge in a full-on bath, or just stick to the regular ol' shower.

Sharing a cramped NYC apartment as we do (save that story for another day), baths aren't a luxury we normally enjoy. But then again, we prefer the quick, in-and-out efficiency of showers anyway, and don't usually feel like straying too far from our routine.

But what about you? Is a hotel room automatically synonymous with hour-long, classical music-serenaded, rose-petaled sessions in the tub? Or does it depend on the hotel?

We want to hear your thoughts! Drop a comment below, and share (but don't overshare) your hotel bathroom routine!

Really depends on the room type.

Rooms that are only equipped with showers are down right tacky and I am most likely not to return for another dorm room like experience. Cleanliness and functionality are next on my list. A slow drain means you are stepping in sewer water. One of the best tower type properties baths I have used was at the Park Hyatt San Francisco. The bath was slightly over-sized with a 6-10" offset from the tiled wall with a great shower-head. I've stayed in tower type properties with both showers and separate baths and looking at the room as a whole I would have appreciated more living space. As for resort style properties, where the rooms tend to be larger, I appreciate having both a shower and a separate bath as my days activities may change from athletic to casual multiple times.
