Are Hotels Ditching the Bathtub?

When is the last time you took a bath in a hotel room? Not a shower, but a real down-in-the-tub bath? I appreciate a good soak as much as anybody, but with the busy schedules we all have, showers just make more sense. And when you're traveling, something most people don't have is all kinds of time to waste in the bathroom. The statistics agree, saying that for whatever reason, only 2% of people ever use the tub in hotels.

Now resorts are another story altogether, but I totally get why many hotels (the Hilton is one in particular) are looking at doing away with the bathtub altogether. What do you think, should high-end hotels continue to offer them just in case, or is it reasonable that they do away with them?

Waterworks .25 Bathtub

by Matthew Collins (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Spas, Water

It may seem odd to covet a bathtub, but I think am doing just that. The Waterworks .25 bathtub is a gorgeous, asymmetrical tub that gives the bather loads of style and more than enough room for their posterior. Finished in a matte white, the .25 is a modern masterwork that is 63 inches long and 24 inches deep, perfect for a long weekend soaking. So, if you are remodeling your bathroom and looking for your zen tub, look no further that your nearest Waterworks. The .25 bathtub retails for $8,500

Spa Lights

Bathroom candles are fun, but lights are even niftier. These battery-operated spa lights stick to the bottom of the tub or can float on the surface. Either way, the warm yellow light creates a glow one would normally only get at a high-end spa or hotel. Sold at I Want One of Those, a pack of two lights costs about $13. But of course, it's probably best to get a few packs.
