| I once stayed at a very boutiquey, avant-garde hotel with a platonic friend. We had booked a twin room with separate beds, but what I did not expect was that the shower cubicle, with clear glass on all three sides, would be placed between the beds. |

| Such an odd decision. No privacy or isolation for the shower, but yes for the two twin beds. Sleep apart but shower together. |

| Not the Platonic ideal of a hotel room |

| There's a hotel in Edinburgh with boutique pretensions I stayed in that had smoked glass (only) around the toilet. That was a pretty annoying arrangement for me and my wife. Luckily they had regular loos in reception. |

| That's how platonic friendships usually end. |

| The world makes full circle. A 4-toilet (2 facing the other 2 for lively conversation) bathroom per floor, no walls whatsoever between the toilets, "open layout" so to speak, in our dormitory in high school (regional school for advanced science studies) in USSR in 80-ies come to mind. Looks like we were living the boutiquey avant-garde way of the future :) |

| ▲ | madaxe_again 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Sounds like the various RAF bases I did stints at as a cadet - the ablutions were just a great big room full of loos, showers, and bathtubs, all with dark brown water, and absolutely zero privacy of any variety. The exposed loos were a novelty for me, at school we at least had shoulder height partitions - but we had communal showers and baths so it wasn’t a huge leap. I also spent a year or so living in a studio where the loo was in the kitchen area - we at least installed a curtain. | | |
| ▲ | normie3000 an hour ago | parent [-] | | Kitchen-loo must be illegal these days - I think rentals need to have 2 doors between the two. Did it seem reasonable at the time?! | | |
| ▲ | Ekaros 8 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | I just recently(september) saw a sale advertisement for loo/bathroom-kitchen... With only small not full height partition next to seat... | |
| ▲ | kergonath 38 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | I would suspect that this is highly jurisdiction-dependent. Around here (random EU country), it would instantly make all studio flats unrentable, so I don’t think that’s the case. Most of them have a bathroom door, though. |

| Was it a "love hotel" because...that doesn't sound like a regular hotel? |
| |
| ▲ | hotep99 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | That bathroom layout has become extremely common in normal hotels in parts of Asia and the Middle East. | | |
| ▲ | Rastonbury 14 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Where is Asia? I travel there often for work and have never come across such a layout | |
| ▲ | Al-Khwarizmi 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | But what's the logic? I have never seen it but it doesn't sound good even aesthetically (which is usually the justification for all kinds of violations of common sense). So what are they thinking? | | |
