Traveling this great country, I am consistently amazed by the significant design flaws that confront me in this nation’s hotels.
Most of them are in the bathrooms.
So, imagine my surprise as I prepare to step into the shower at the sensational Wyndham Gettysburg. Like a lot of recently developed hotels, the designers have eschewed shower curtains and sliding glass doors for a single pane of floor-to-ceiling glass to keep water from splashing all over the floor.
Plus, it’s a pretty cool look.
But, just so utterly wrong from a functionality aspect because there is no possible way to turn the shower on without stepping into the line of (cold water) fire. It’s clear that the designers of these hip new bathrooms have never actually showered in their creations...or they’d quit designing them that way.
Except at the Wyndahm Gettysburg, where the designer was actually thinking about the end user...and designed this glass differently (click photo to enlarge).
Bravo. Well played. I so want to shake your hand.
And, because that’s not all that’s cool about the Wyndham Gettysburg, I look forward to my next visit.
