Bathrooms worth boasting about

Good morning! Can you believe July 4th has come and gone? Where is the summer going? I need it to slow down and start moving in slow motion! Anyone else feel this way?  With life's often frantic pace, indulging in a bubble bath is a huge huge luxury. I love a beautiful bathroom and love the idea of closing the door to the chaos and taking some time to relax, take a deep breath and truly decompress. Whether its a gorgeous master bath in someones home or in a luxurious pampering hotel....show me the way to a gorgeous bathroom where I can luxuriate in all its splendor and I am one happy camper! 

When traveling..... along wtih a sumptuous and luxurious hotel goes a beautiful room and an equally luxurious bathroom. So today is all about incredible bathrooms whether in the home or in a gorgeous hotel suite...a beautiful bathroom is something to take notice of. Just how spectacular are these amazing bathrooms!! These show you how exotic you can go, and if you are lucky enough to have a bathroom "with a view" then that is most definitely the crowning touch. Could you possibly pick a fave? Allow me to set the tone, soft music (will let you pick your genre) is playing, someone has drawn a perfectly hot bath filled with softly scented bubbles, a glass of bubbly awaits you along with a book you can't wait to dive into and the icing on the cake, you are guaranteed NO interruptions for a solid hour, just total down time, bliss and peace!  NOW you get to choose your favorite........so which is it?


Love this elegant all white bathroom really like the luxury of having full length drapes in bathroom too, Bear Hill interiors
Love the full paneled drapes and concrete tub....quite decadent!
Love the old fashioned plumbing, very elegant
Wow......talk about luxury! The Raffles hotel in Tianjin, China
Rozanne Jackson designed this elegant oasis......
How about this gorgeous powder puff of a bathroom? A vision in pink! Brian J McCarthy
Blanket Bay, New Zealand....with a view like that it would be hard to get out!
Love having a patterned floor to add interest to an all white bathroom
Love this European influenced bath, how great is the armoire here! Charles Faudree
Check out that wall of glass overlooking Macau, The Wynn in Macau, China
This is just spectacular in every way from the decor to the view! Singita Grumeti Reserves, Tanzania
A floating marble oasis high in the sky, Mardarin Oriental, Tokyo, Japan
Spectacular panoramic view at the Andara Resort in Thailand
Love how the antiqued mirror is inset into the panels on the wall, so luxurious! Clive Christian
A regal looking bathroom, Timothy Corrigan
Wow this is really something! Miraval bathroom in Arizona
Love the vintage feel to this elegant master bath, Sherill Canet
The One and Only Reethi in the Maldives.....fabulous and luxurious simplicity
Gorgeous timeless elegance, Barry Dixon
Wow! The sunken tub that feels like its one with nature at the Singita Sweni Lodge, South Africa
Is this amazing! The Elsa's Kopji Private home in Kenya.....just unreal!
I like the way the cool blues work with the soft gray marble, Arch Digest
Barry Dixon works his magic again in this splendid bathroom!
A modern beauty, Southern Ocean Lodge in Australia
Dark calming room with a view, Silavadee Resort, Thailand
This takes "outdoor living" to new heights! The Tongabezi in Zambia....oh the things you will see!

Whew! So much bathroom beauty........do you have a favorite? While I favor clean, classic creamy bathrooms with marble, I am definitely loving some of these more exotic bathrooms, particularly those that are partially outdoors, whats more luxurious and exotic than bathing under a canopy of trees in a jungle? Would love to know what you think! Enjoy your day........

    Hello Tina:
    After looking at these wonderful, and totally luxurious, bathrooms we are almost resolved to spend our lives moving from one hotel to another in order to experience them all, or similar. These are the things of which dreams are made!

    Good morning, Tina!

    I feel the same way... need to slow down a bit. I felt this lately and I'm trying to listen to my body. I even took a nap yesterday. I think I didn't take a nap since I was a kid! It felt good, I must say! :-)


    By the way, I'm soooo excited! We'll find out if we're expecting a boy or a girl today! I just can't wait!!! :-)

    I love this post, Tina. So many bathrooms I haven't seen yet. So nice to see beautiful things! Thank you!

    I also want to thank you for entering the giveaway we're giving on my blog. I wish you good luck, my friend! :-)

    Have a great day!

    I would love to own that bathroom with the patterned floor but I would most like to stay in the hotel in New Zealand with that fabulous view of the mountains! Beautiful bathrooms.

    I'm doing a give away on my blog, a Flokati rug from my Showhouse room!

    Come and visit! Carla@DesignintheWoods

    I never would have thought a concrete tub would work in a space that wasn't modern, but the one framed by those elegant lilac panels proves me wrong! Love any of the ones with a view...I'd never want to get out of the tub!

    I loove this post- I have a love for bathrooms! When my parents built our current home, they built a bathroom for an 8 year old, and I wish I had more drawer space. They are building me a big beautiful bathroom in their new home but I'll probably only live there for a limited time-so unfair!!

    Amazing! I am now ready to go on vacation just for the bathrooms in these places - how crazy does that sound??!!! that's how incredible these images are. ;) I loved the first one the best - the addition of a killer view and rose petals in the water and chocolate dipped strawberries got me! :)

    If I had to choose it would be the last one, in Zambia!!! Totally my style and look that I love!!!! The warm tones, to me, make it feel so cozy and inviting. I am not fond of the "cool" ones. All beautiful, though! XO, Pinky

    I love the first one and that view in the New Zealand bathroom is heavenly!! We have a tiny tub in the guest room and a giant shower in the master (my husband put it in before we were married). I would love nothing more than a giant bathtub!

    That was tough BUT,Miraval bathroom in Arizona!
    for me outside, yet private. Love views, love to feel alone as I bathe. Seems AZ is just right for me & my book:)

    Tina they all were quite breathtaking. Each with something unique but if I must chose one, it'd be the modern bathroom in Australia. To have a view, is one of the finest accessories.

    Hoping your 4th was spectacular and here's to a quiet, relaxing weekend ahead.

    It's so difficult to choose a favourite as they are all so stunning! I really love all the African ones (I'm a little bias and a total sucker for a view) but the one that really stands out for me is Silavadee Resort, Thailand! Dream bathroom!
