Inspiration

Better grab that “Do Not Disturb” sign now.

Kasia Gatkowska

There are many things that can help a hotel rise above the pack, whether it’s an amazing in-house restaurant, a staggeringly beautiful lobby (or lobby bar), or an architecturally stunning pool. But we focus on one area in particular when it comes to measuring a property’s luxury factor: the bathroom.

Once relegated to rooms you only ventured into when absolutely necessary, luxury hotel bathrooms (the good ones, at least) now serve as the ultimate status symbol—a chance for a property to really show off its design chops and amenity-laden sensibilities. Rain shower heads and double sinks? So 20 years ago. The bathrooms we’re talking about boast suspended tubs, en suite saunas, private art collections, and views that could break any Instagram algorithm.

From oceanfront villas in Brazil to high-rise stunners in Tokyo, here are our picks for the best luxury hotel bathrooms around the world.
