The bathroom door scandal: why hotels are putting toilets in glass boxes
Solid doors are being replaced with sliding ones, or even transparent cubicles. For furious guests, this is a cost-cutting measure too far
TL;DR
- Hotels are replacing traditional bathroom doors with sliding barn doors, curtains, and other replacements.
- Some hotels are moving sinks and showers into bedrooms and enclosing toilets in glass or cubby-like spaces.
- The trend is partly driven by cost-saving measures, as doors require maintenance.
- Guests express concerns about privacy and the impact on relationships.
- Websites like 'Bring Back Doors' track hotels based on their bathroom door privacy.
