Why should the hotel bathroom be designed to be transparent? Is it to spice things up?

For many business travelers, the bathrooms in some express hotels are actually transparent. Even couples feel embarrassed to bathe naked under the gaze of another person. So why should the hotel bathroom be designed to be transparent?

1. First of all, the problem itself is problematic. Not all hotel bathrooms are transparent. Most of the phenomena you mentioned are express hotels and low-star hotels, which are not large in scale. The reason why it is made transparent is mainly because the toilets are all on the edge of the corridor and there is no natural light. Transparent glass can effectively increase the brightness, and guests will not be too wronged when using the bathroom. The main consideration of transparency is light and bright rooms.

2. High-star hotels with a relatively large area are generally more than 40 square meters, which are many independent bathroom spaces without transparent walls. Even if the partition wall with the bedroom is glass, curtains will be put down, and more advanced lighting glass and switches will be transparent or opaque. High-end guests will have higher requirements for privacy and lighting interference, and the transparency of express hotels will appear "low-level" at this time.

3. Some luxury hotels also like to put the bathtub in the middle of the guest room, which is more design-oriented, but they will definitely set up movable partition doors that can be pushed and pulled. Of course, "porn" hotels don't have to reinvent the wheel. The more advanced the hotel, the higher the requirement for bathroom space. Many of them rely on windows and soak in the bathtub to see the scenery. There is no need to use glass walls to increase brightness.

So to sum up, budget hotels and low-star hotels like to use glass walls to increase the lighting and pleasure of the bathroom. Even if high-star hotels use glass walls, they will have the means to protect their privacy, and the more luxurious and advanced the rooms, the less they need to use the method of "making the bathroom transparent".

Culturally speaking, westerners think it is unthinkable for two people of the same sex to live in the same room unless they are gay. So westerners either share a room with heterosexual couples or with homosexuals. For them, the transparent bathroom is more exciting and interesting. Many hotels in China are so obsequious, but they don't notice that it is normal for two people of the same sex to live in a standard room in China culture, which causes the embarrassment above.
