Our pick of the most beautiful hotel bathrooms around the world, perfect for design inspiration and just plain daydreaming

There's something about a good hotel bathroom we just can't resist. Massive bathtubs to sink into at the end of a long day, his and hers sinks, acres of space to spread out your cosmetics, and fluffy towels and robes draped over heated rails. These considered details are what we always long to emulate in our bathrooms at home, so we've selected some of the most beautiful hotel bathrooms around the world for inspiration, from opulent spaces with gold accents to pared back suites complete with traditional fireplaces.

The Newt, Somerset

With its singular interiors and extensive gardens and orchards, Somerset's The Newt reflects the vision of its owners, the South African founders of Cape Dutch hotel and farm Babylonstoren. Many of the original features of the Georgian house have been retained in the en-suite bathrooms, including this chimneypiece with Delft tiles. Read more about The Newt's interior design here.

Victoriana Suites, The Fife Arms, Braemar

This magnificent suite at the Fife Arms in Braemar is bursting with colour and pattern, as well as a huge freestanding rolltop bath. The blue of the suite's doorframe continues on the ceiling of the bathroom, creating consistency and flow between the two rooms. See more of the Russell-Sage-designed interiors here.

 

For a similar copper rolltop bath, try this one from Waterworks.

 

 

Beaverbrook Hotel, Leatherhead

This delightful bathroom at the Beaverbrook hotel in Surrey overlooks the expansive grounds of the property. We love the arrangement of botanical plates above the mantlepiece. The modern, white marble used for the bath contrasts perfectly with the traditional windows and green fireplace. Create your own wall arrangement of antique plates with this beautiful selection from TAT London.

 

 

Il Palazzo Experimental, Venice

At the Experimental Group’s newest hotel, Il Palazzo Experimental, the Parisian team behind the group have saved the former headquarters of the old Venetian shipping company Adriatica by transforming it into a thriving 32-room hotel, restaurant and cocktail bar, with the help of interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon. Bathroom mirrors made from Breccia Capraia Verde marble offset the lagoon green of the walls. See the rest of the hotel's interiors here.

Ballyfin, Ireland

The spectacular bath here is in fact a repurposed Roman sarcophagus. To create a similar look, invest in a marble bath from Hurlingham – the ‘Tivoli’, from £7,495, is a good option. A plaster plaque hangs above, continuing the Roman theme. See the rest of Ballyfin's marvellous interiors here.

La Cotte Farm, South Africa

La Cotte is a Cape Dutch farmstead with French roots, where the 17th-century manor has been transformed into a country-house hotel with vibrant interiors – a dream come true for South African architects Dominic Touwen and Rohan Young. All the bathrooms have freestanding baths and marble floors.

The Siam Hotel, Bangkok

This opulent bathroom in the pool villa in the heart of Bangkok is decorated with traditional Thai furniture and soft lighting, creating a relaxed atmosphere for guests.
