Design showcase: Top five public restrooms
For our latest TOPHOTELDESIGN exclusive, we take a closer look at five hotels around the world that have made a big splash with their reimagining of public restrooms.
On arrival, guests expect to be impressed by the lobby, the restaurant, the suites… but what about the public restroom?
Transforming an ordinary area into an extraordinary experience
Frequently overlooked, the public restroom holds an endless potential to be a showstopper. We believe that taking risks with a clear and powerful concept is essential for the creation of something remarkable and unique.
This week’s TOPHOTELDESIGN selection shows how breathtaking these spaces can be when great interior design steps in.
From a mesmerising infinite light show and a fully golden spectacle to an unexpected yet genius reuse of freestanding bathtubs, these compositions will indubitably exceed your expectations.
