(Photo by Oleg-Breslavtsev\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having a dedicated bathroom for each hotel room wasn&#8217;t actually a common practice until the late 1800s. Even then, they were considered a luxury amenity.<\/p>\n<p>Before hotel guests had access to their own bathrooms, they could expect to find shared facilities and a basin of water to wash up in. However, the idea of a private bathroom started catching on, and by the 1920s, many hotels were offering en suite bathrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Like the move to create private bathrooms decades ago, the current shift toward bathtub-free spaces is coming from guest preferences. According to Sirna, guests are increasingly interested in more space, more sustainable hotel options and, maybe more than anything, cleanliness, when they travel.<\/p>\n<div

growing reason behind the trend. And as we&#8217;ve learned more than ever during the pandemic, cleanliness is key.<\/p>\n<p>In a quick survey of TPG readers in the TPG Facebook group, we found more than half of those who responded preferred showers to tubs \u2014 often strongly. For most readers, concern about the tub\u2019s cleanliness was the main reason for their preference. Many didn&#8217;t mince their words about their reasoning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bathtubs used by anyone else but my own family [are] just gross,\u201d Denise Jordan from Philadelphia mentioned within the TPG Lounge.<\/p>\n<p>But resort bathtubs should not the one lavatory function that TPG readers had been hesitant to make use of due to cleanliness. Hotel showers had been additionally flagged as an space of concern, a lot in order that a number of folks said that they go for bathe footwear in accommodations due to it.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, evidently TPG readers, and maybe resort visitors usually, are involved that the extent of cleanliness in accommodations may not match what they themselves are comfy with, notably given the sheer quantity of cleansing undertaken by resort employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe staff has 100% more work than any human can be expected to do,\u201d mentioned Drew Powers of Illinois within the TPG Lounge. \u201cThere is no way most of that room gets cleaned to the level it really needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With many accommodations nonetheless so wanting housekeeping and different employees, shower-only bogs might probably reduce down on cleansing instances. A transfer that each saves the resort cash and helps be sure that housekeeping employees has extra time to correctly sanitize rooms.<\/p>\n<p>But we have reported earlier than, <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/hotel-ceo-updates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resort housekeeping remains to be very hit and miss<\/a>, with many accommodations nonetheless skipping each day cleanings \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/future-of-luxury-hotel-stays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">even at some luxurious accommodations<\/a>.

But research differ on the query of which bathing possibility makes use of extra water (lengthy, sizzling showers may very well use extra water than the typical bathtub).<\/p>\n<p>Either manner, in line with Sirna, vacationers wish to scale back their carbon footprints \u2014 and accommodations can play on that by eradicating costly tubs and changing them with showers, some small and fundamental whereas others are extra luxurious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/how-to-be-a-sustainable-traveler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8 sustainable journey suggestions from skilled inexperienced vacationers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a outcome, there have been some attention-grabbing improvements with regards to resort showers, together with low-flow showerheads that scale back water waste, and the usage of pure supplies like stone, to evoke the outside.
