Hotel bathroom equipment - check how to assemble

Planning the equipment of hotel bathrooms is an integral part of designing the entire building. It is one of the aspects that determine the functionality, number of stars awarded, and above all - the comfort of guests.

It is worth remembering that hotel guests pay close attention to the equipment and standard of bathrooms. This directly translates into opinions about the entire facility. Therefore, every effort should be made to ensure that the bathrooms, both in rooms and in public areas of the facility, are of a truly high standard. This is one of those investments that should definitely not be skimped on. A modern interior combined with high-quality hotel accessories is one of the elements that have a significant impact on the prestige of a given place.

Hotel bathroom

It is worth noting that there are significant differences between the equipment of bathrooms in hotel rooms and those in public spaces (in lobbies, near restaurants, at the pool or spa). However, all of them must meet the necessary safety conditions and practical usage criteria.

"According to regulations, bathrooms in hotels must be present in every room in three, four, and five-star facilities, as well as in one and two-star hotels built after 2004. Regardless of the category, hotel bathrooms must provide 24-hour access to cold and hot water."

Importantly, the Regulation of the Ministry of Economy and Labor from August 19, 2004 precisely defines what should be included in the equipment of hotel bathrooms. This applies to both those located in the living area, public (e.g. near a restaurant or reception), and toilets for people with disabilities.

How to choose accessories for a hotel bathroom?

When choosing accessories for a hotel bathroom, one should primarily consider the standard offered by the facility. It is obvious that the equipment of a five-star hotel will consist of higher quality items than in the case of a hostel or guesthouse.

In any case, it is worth ensuring that the HoReCa equipment fits the character of the facility and the bathroom decor. To do this, it is worth investing in sets of accessories prepared by the manufacturer. This will avoid the need to match different equipment that may simply not fit together. For example, if a hotel is furnished in a loft style, the bathroom may feature stainless steel fixtures in black or silver. However, they will not fit in with interiors in a glamorous or rustic style - in this case, it would be worth investing in classic ceramics.

In addition, bathroom accessories should allow for water and energy savings. Additionally, in public bathrooms, it is worth installing touchless devices (such as soap or paper towel dispensers). All equipment, even in lower standard hotels, should be made of durable materials that will look good even after years of use and frequent cleaning.

Hotel bathroom accessories

Bathroom accessories for hotels should be selected in such a way that they not only meet the requirements set by regulations. They should also make the stay of guests in the hotel more enjoyable and easier, as well as allow for savings and facilitate the work of staff.

In the case of bathrooms in public spaces, it should be taken into account that the equipment in them must also be suitable for people with disabilities; it should also allow children of different ages to use them. Additionally, where possible, touchless equipment such as soap dispensers or toilet paper dispensers should be installed. A good solution is also to use concealed systems, in which all dispensers are hidden.

It is also worth remembering that bathroom accessories for hotels in public toilets should be more durable and even more practical compared to those in bathrooms near rooms. This is due to the fact that these rooms are exposed to much higher traffic.

Bathrooms in public places should be separate rooms for women and men. They must contain the following elements:

• Compact toilets (preferably more than one),
• Mirror,
• Countertop or wall-mounted sinks with faucets,
• Touchless batteries for photocells
• Liquid soap dispensers
• Hand dryers with HEPA filter or paper towel dispenser
• Trash can with lid, preferably made of fire-resistant material, attached to the wall

In addition to the above mentioned accessories, hotels should also provide stations or dispensers for hand sanitizer in all common areas, including the reception and spa, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bathroom amenities in hotel rooms should include mirrors (large and small LED), hair dryers, trash cans, and appropriate hooks and handrails.

Hotel bathroom mirrors

The bathroom mirror in a hotel room should have an adjustable height. This will make it easier for people of different heights, as well as children, to use it. Additionally, it should be equipped with upper or side lighting, allowing for basic grooming tasks.

It is also worth equipping the bathroom with small, double-sided mirrors, which make it easier to style hair or apply precise makeup. Among the models available in our assortment, there are mirrors with a folding handle that do not take up too much space - their arm is extended only when it is really needed.

We offer both non-illuminated, basic models of mirrors, as well as those equipped with additional LED lighting. The solid construction and high quality materials used in their production guarantee durability for many years.

Hotel bathroom hangers

Hotel towel hangers can be made of stainless steel or chrome, as well as plastic. The advantage of those made of metal is their resistance to moisture and high durability. This allows them to serve for many years without any damage. On the other hand, hangers made of plastic are lightweight; this allows for hanging many towels on them without excessively burdening the wall mounting.

Another noteworthy solution are hangers with movable arms, as well as models with two mountings. The latter can also be used as openings for the bathtub - of course, if the method of their mounting allows for it.

Hangers in hotel bathrooms must be chosen primarily in terms of the number of towels that can be dried on them at one time. In multi-person rooms, hangers with arms will be a good choice. Not only do they allow for hanging multiple towels at once, but they also facilitate their distribution in such a way as to speed up their drying.

Hotel hair dryers

A hotel hair dryer is one of those devices that is a confirmation of the quality of services provided in the facility. They should be found in both small and large, high-class hotels. It is already a standard element of bathroom equipment - not only in the room, but also in the public bathroom, located in a place where various forms of recreation or treatments involve the possibility of getting hair wet.

The best and most convenient solution are wall-mounted hotel hair dryers. They provide a lot of maneuverability and make drying hair quick and easy. They should be made of aesthetic, durable, and strong materials, such as ABS plastic.

The selection of hotel hair dryers is very wide, making it easy to match them to the style of the hotel and the location where they will be placed.

Hotel hand dryers

The advantage of hotel hand dryers is their maintenance-free operation. They eliminate the need for replenishing paper towels. This makes them a convenient solution for bathrooms in public areas of the hotel.

We offer a wide selection of hand dryers that work well in hotel rooms as well as in areas where they will be used more frequently. Among them are models made of stainless steel and those finished with ABS plastic.

It is important to choose the most hygienic option. In the case of hand dryers, these are devices that operate touchlessly and are equipped with HEPA filters that can capture up to 99.95% of bacteria from the air.

Hotel towel dispensers

Towel dispenser is another - besides dryers - element of toilet equipment. In our offer you can find plastic models as well as those made of stainless steel, equipped with wall mounting brackets. Towel containers are durable and resistant to damage. Many models are equipped with windows that make it easier to control the level of the insert.

Our devices are dedicated to users who prefer this ergonomic method of drying hands. Many people prefer to use paper towels rather than dryers mainly because of time saving. Additionally, using disposable products is recommended during the COVID-19 pandemic due to reduced risk of virus transmission.

Hotel soap dispensers

Proper hand hygiene is one of the particularly important issues, not only during the pandemic. Therefore, it is very important to use appropriate soap dispensers.

In the case of hotels, the best solution is dispensers operating in closed systems. Unlike open models, where soap is poured from a bulk container, they are refilled with new, hermetically sealed inserts with a fresh pump and bottle. This prevents microorganisms from entering inside.

Hotel soap dispenser should provide the highest standards of hygiene. Open system devices do not guarantee this - foreign bodies, insects and various contaminants can get inside.

How does the bathroom equipment differ in a five-star and three-star hotel?

The allocation of hotel stars to facilities in Poland is based on meeting specific conditions. This means that specific elements can be distinguished that differentiate the standard of a three-star hotel from a five-star hotel. This also applies to bathroom equipment in a hotel.

In the case of a three-star facility, hotel bathroom equipment must include a bathtub or shower cabin, sink, mirror, soap and towels, and a trash can. Additionally, guests are offered small sets of cosmetics, hotel towels, and hotel accessories. Towels, like bedding, are changed every three days or upon request from guests.

The bathroom equipment in a 5-star hotel also includes a hairdryer and premium hotel cosmetics and accessories. The room and bathroom are cleaned daily, and the bedding and towels are also changed daily.

How to assemble hotel bathroom equipment?

It must meet not only formal requirements. The presence of elements that will make the hotel even better suited to the diverse needs of guests and provide them with comfort and a sense of security is of great importance. It is worth using the offer directly from the manufacturer. This guarantees effective service, equipment replacement, and comprehensive advice.
