Hotel Room Design Sparks Debate: Are Open Bathrooms Compromising Guest Privacy?

A recent social media video has sparked discussion among travelers regarding modern hotel room design, particularly the trend of open-plan bathrooms. The video, uploaded by user 'georgie_lw', showcases a hotel room where the toilet and shower area are separated from the main sleeping space by a translucent glass partition, rather than a fully enclosed room. The author's overlaid text expresses a common sentiment: "I can't be the only one that doesn't understand why hotels have started designing rooms like this? Where is the privacy to go to the toilet? Why has this become normalised? Can we go back to separate rooms for bathrooms please." The video has garnered significant attention, accumulating over 566,400 views and 35,000 likes, suggesting that the privacy concerns raised resonate with a broad audience. This trend in hotel architecture aims to create a more spacious and contemporary feel, but it often comes at the expense of privacy, prompting guests to voice their discomfort.
