Do designers of hotel bathrooms world-wide ever try out such facilities? I very much doubt it.

In many such establishments the shower cubicles have nowhere to house soaps or shampoo bottles and certainly there are no safety grab handles to avoid the possibility of falling in such wet and slippery environments.

Secondly, toilet pedestals appear to be terribly low – possibly a cost-saving practice and, again, with no handles to help raise the user.

In current jargon, hotel customers would have a better experience if thought was given to their needs.
