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.

  • VIK Chile bathroom
    VIK Chile

    VIK Chile

    The VIK Chile (formerly Viña Vik) is all about the views, surrounded by the colorful vineyards of Chile’s Millahue Valley, located about two hours south of Santiago. You can’t escape those vistas even if you tried, as evidenced by the window-lined Vik Suite bathroom and its hammock-shaped tub. Designed by London’s Splinterworks Studio, the bathtub even boasts a foam-insulated core, meaning your soaking session will stay hotter for longer—all the better to enjoy those views.

  • Raffles

    Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris

    French architect Philippe Starck helmed the entire design of Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris, and his industrial-chic touch can be felt in nearly every space. His aesthetic is perhaps best seen in the luxury hotel bathrooms, which are entirely covered in mirrors and available in all rooms ranging from standard studios to the over-the-top Royal Monceau Suite (pictured). The effect is a little trippy, but incredibly chic.

  • Aman Tokyo

    Aman Tokyo

    Proof that luxury doesn’t have come with a ton of bells and whistles, the Aman Tokyo is sleek minimalism at its best. Just check out the bathrooms in the Aman Suites (the hotel’s largest room options), where all-slate surfaces don’t dare compete with the panoramic views of Tokyo’s skyline. Spend about 30 minutes in the stone furo soaking tub and feel your stress melt away. (Hint: The hotel’s incredible pool is a great second stop on your relaxation tour.)

  • Conservatorium Hotel

    Conservatorium Hotel, Amsterdam

    Housed in a former 19th-century bank, the Conservatorium Hotel boasts one of the coolest designs in Amsterdam—and that’s saying something. The I Love Amsterdam suite is a particular stand-out, with an upper-level bathroom complete with the building’s original wood beams. The lofted room (complete with a cavernous bathtub) affords enviable views of the Rijksmuseum, so try not to doze off while you soak.

    El Fenn, Morocco

    Sprawling across a dozen riads in Marrakech, El Fenn’s 31 rooms and suites burst forth with color—and no two are the same (though they all feature deep soaking tubs). Choose among color palettes ranging from rosy pink to jade green to inky black, accented with contemporary paintings and sculptures that will make you feel like you’re spending the night in a very fancy, very comfortable art museum.

  • Lion Sands Game Reserve

    Lion Sands Game Reserve, South Africa

    Spanning both the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Kruger National Park, Lion Sands Game Reserve comprises four lodges and two villas, any one of which is worth checking out. Guests at any lodge have the option of adding on a night at one of the reserve’s premium treehouses—and that’s where the magic really begins. The Kingston Treehouse is particularly luxurious, with an open-air bedroom (just imagine the stargazing!) and a glassed-in bathroom with a rain shower and double vanity.

  • 1 Hotels

    1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, New York City

    The 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is all about letting the outdoors in, whether it’s through floor-to-ceiling windows or decor centered around greenery. The former is especially apparent in the 2,000-square-foot Riverhouse Suite, where views abound from every nook and cranny—including the granite bathtub overlooking the East River and Manhattan skyline. Consider the triple-filtered rain shower and organic bath products as an added bonus.

  • Ponta dos Ganchos

    Ponta dos Ganchos, Brazil

    On a private peninsula about 35 miles from the southern city of Florianópolis, Ponta dos Ganchos exemplifies casual elegance in the best sense. Its 25 bungalows all have incredible views of the turquoise sea, but none quite match the sexiness (and size) of the Especial Esmeralda suite. Its huge bathroom is practically its own private spa, with a Jacuzzi tub, sun loungers, en suite sauna, and attached deck with an infinity pool.

  • Nay Palad Hideaway

    Nay Palad Hideaway, Philippines

    There are rain showers, and then there are the rain showers in Nay Palad Hideaway’s four deluxe villas. Each bathroom in this Siargao Island property features a shower head situated smack dab in the middle of the ceiling, with water cascading down on a bamboo mat surrounded by gravel. (If you like your showers to come with walls, this isn’t the place for you.) Organic bath products and a complimentary aromatherapy burner round out the whole zen experience.

  • Durston Saylor

    Rosewood London

    The Rosewood London, housed in a stately Edwardian edifice near Covent Garden, elegantly splits the difference between the quirky and the stuffy. The vibe throughout the entire hotel is unrestrained yet luxurious—all marble and mahogany and neutral color palettes. Bathrooms definitely fall more on the “marble” end of the spectrum, especially if you splurge for the Manor House (Rosewood’s version of a presidential suite), where all-black walls, a soaking tub, and a walk-in rain shower perfectly sum up the sheer elegance of a stay here.

  • Four Seasons

    Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla

    Sitting on 35 acres between the beaches of Barnes Bay and Meads Bay, the Kelly Wearstler-designed suites at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla are earthy and effortless—think bleached blonde wood floors, tables carved from petrified wood, and large windows with clean lines. If you can, splurge on one of the four-bedroom Beachfront Villas, where the two upper-level bedrooms come with spa-like, luxury hotel bathrooms featuring spacious private terraces with outdoor showers.

  • Shangri-La

    Shangri-La Hotel, Paris

    Situated in the former private apartments of Prince Roland Bonaparte (who constructed the building as his private home), this Shangri-La Hotel, Paris bathroom was decorated in the late 18th-century Directoire style, completely finished in marble with crystal fixtures and accents. The end result is definitely fit for royalty.

    Shou Sugi Ban House, Water Mill, New York

    Ever since it opened in 2019, Shou Sugi Ban House has given us ample reason to visit the Hamptons again and again. The incredibly chic wellness retreat is zen personified, with Buddha statues greeting you at the front gate, steaming bowls of congee for breakfast, and 13 standalone villas with Japanese bath products and wooden soak tubs. Each bathroom is the kind of place you could easily spend a few lazy afternoon hours in.
