Why Premium Washrooms Matter for Prestige Venues: Advice from Industry-Leading Hoteliers

The most memorable escape to a truly world-class luxury hotel is often remembered by the guest for the attention to detail in factors like customer service, cleanliness and dining. Those same customers value the use of genuinely high-quality, design-led products in everything they see and – most of all – touch.

When details matter, peerlessly luxurious finishes, the brand behind a product, the quality of the craft behind a product and how the item sits in harmony with the prevailing design all matter too.

A stunning reception experience can be ruined by a badly-prepared guest room and a spectacular meal can be lessened by inattentive service. Similarly, a hotel guest visiting a luxury accommodation provider will expect to see the high standards they’ve enjoyed elsewhere in the hotel reflected throughout the experience.

This includes each washroom. Why? Because design or quality corners being cut in a washroom, including in the choice of accessible washroom products, will suggest that corners have been cut elsewhere too.

Similarly, a prestige hotel rarely accepts a ‘just good enough’ approach to any decision, including choices impacting its ethical policies.

A compliant accessible washroom may well be a minimum requirement under official requirements in a hotel’s jurisdiction, but for a cutting edge business standing apart as a design leader in how accessible washrooms are provided is a natural choice.

When a new or existing hotel has set its sights on being the premium venue of choice for discerning travellers in its catchment area, working with businesses who simply ‘supply’ products with no regard, or capability, to align with the hotel’s uncompromising approach to quality is simply not acceptable.

Instead, hoteliers will expect to work with passionate, dedicated professionals with experience in surpassing the needs of prestige clients.

Very often, a ‘buy once, buy well’ approach is highly recommended for top end hotel owners. Not just because timeless design lives up to its name or because exceptional quality in a product means enduring reliability, but also because innovative design features in the premium end of a market can include functionality features made to present extra value.

For example Fitzroy of London removable accessible washroom fixtures and fittings can be demounted should a specific guest prefer a non-accessible washroom or – crucially – if a building is being prepared for sale.
