Why do so many hotels make transparent bathrooms?

Many hotels - including the most luxurious - are made of glass walls, which can see both inside and outside. Why so?

If you are a frequent traveler, you may have experienced the feeling of . weird, mixed with some annoyance to the bathrooms of some hotels. They were a transparent room, sitting inside looking out, standing outside looking at it.

In fact, many hotels have such exotic bathroom designs, including 4-5 star rooms to budget guesthouses. There are even places where people don't even have glasses.

The bathroom is transparent, ie sitting in looking out, standing outside looking at it.

But why is there such a strange design? Many people believe that this design is exclusive to couples. That's true, but the reason is not completely like that.

1. Save space

There were people who brought this question to the world-famous Q&A forum Quora. And one of the reasons given is to make the room look more spacious.

In fact, whether luxurious or not, hotels always want to maximize the efficiency of using the entire area of ​​the building. So, they seek to cut down on the room area as much as possible, but still have to ensure a comfortable feeling for customers.

Building a bathroom with glass walls helps create a more spacious and "lost" feeling.

So building a bathroom with glass walls is a bad choice. Glass walls obviously take up less space than traditional brick walls, so it definitely saves space.

Moreover, the use of glass walls also creates a clean and spacious feel for the room, based on the visual effects it brings.

2. An effective form of energy saving

glass is also a way to take advantage of sunlight. In the daytime, light shining on the glass can reflect, making the room brighter without the need for electric light bulbs.

Customers do not use lights, ie the hotel has saved a considerable amount of money each year.

3. To ensure safety (?!)

Sounds a bit wrong right? A place that should be extremely private, now "open" but safe?

Transparent bathroom, you will realize there is instability in the room.

But actually this reason is also very reasonable. According to Trey Echo - a former employee of the Dutch tourism group PA Dutch, many guests rent hotels as businessmen, and they often go alone. Meanwhile, the sound of water in the shower can be very noisy, drowning out all sounds that are outside the room at the same time.

So what if unfortunately someone walked into the room with bad intentions? Don't ask about the key issue, because once you have a bad intention, anything can happen.

Of course, if you want privacy, there are curtains.

With a transparent bathroom, you will realize there is instability in the room, giving you more time in a survival situation.
