# Lavish Lavatories The Upper House Luxurious Bathrooms Impress on Many Levels By Jacob Courtade | Published 2009-10-29 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-upper-house-luxurious-bathrooms References: [trendhunter](http://www.trendhunter.com/jacob) & [upperhouse](http://www.upperhouse.com) The Upper House, Hong Kong’s newest boutique luxury hotel, impresses on many levels: high quality finishings, a free “maxi-bar,” and sweeping views. But in a city where 300 square foot rooms are expected, 300 square foot bathrooms are not. And they are standard at the Upper House. Views from both the [standalone bathtub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soaking-tub) and shower are just as spectacular as from the bedroom. The [rain shower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfall-shower) (picture 9) is divine--one wonders how it was ever possible to shower without it. My other favorite touches? A TV in the mirror facing the bathtub. [Bath salts and oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-bath-collection), and a padded backrest in the bathtub. Finally, the thoughtful amenity kit by the sink rather than scattered toiletries. This bathroom is a winner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Bathrooms:** Boutique hotels are incorporating luxury bathrooms with high-quality finishings and unique features. - **Spectacular Views:** Bathrooms with views that rival the bedroom are becoming more popular in luxury hotels. - **Technology Integration:** Hotels are integrating technology into bathrooms to enhance guest experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Luxury hotels are investing in creating unique and lavish bathroom experiences to attract high-end guests. - **Home Improvement:** Luxury bathroom trends are influencing the design and features of high-end residential bathrooms. - **Consumer Electronics:** The integration of technology into bathroom fixtures provides a new market to companies specializing in smart home technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cutting-Edge Bathroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathroom-design1.md) - [Elevated Hotel Spa Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kat-florence-hotel.md) - [Ultra-Stylish Bathroom Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-accessories.md) - [Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-shangri-la.md) - [Boutique Wellness Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ayrshire-house.md) - [Ultra Luxury Hotel Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocco-forte-house.md) - [Luxe Sustainable Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hari-hong-kong.md) - [Wellness Retreat Bathroom Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-collection-1.md) - [Stylishly Luxurious Bath Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-bath-collection.md)
