Hotel guests want their stay to be comfortable, relaxing and luxurious. And those staying at finer establishments expect something special. Hotel planners and operators are focussing more and more on bathroom design, as this has proven to be an effective way to set one property apart from the next. Especially shower toilets, like TOTO WASHLET from the leading Japanese producer of bathroom fixtures and furnishings, provides an entirely new experience for people travelling for business or relaxation.

Many hotel guests discover the benefits of WASHLET for the first time – and appreciate this product in the context of the growing variety of healthness and selfness programmes.

According to studio lux Berlin founder and principals Jörn Siebke, TOTO WASHLET has the potential to delight guests and elevate a hotel’s reputation. The experienced interior designer recently installed WASHLET throughout Munich’s exclusive Marriott City West, a unique and differentiating feature for the hotel. 

Pragmatic and inspiring 

He observes, though, that the market is currently dominated by renovations and major transformations. But more pragmatic solutions are required for everyday planning decisions. How can we add value with bathroom upgrades? How can we attract attention? Can we achieve this with the smallest possible investment? He concludes: “A product is designed to solve problems and give the guest a unique experience.”

WASHLET can play an important role here. It’s possible to install it in just a day as this process doesn’t require any structural work. There are a variety of models available in different price segments, and the most important comfort features are included as standard in each one – including intimate cleansing with clean, warm water, front cleansing, a convenient remote control and heated seat with adjustable temperature. This gives people who use WASHLET an extraordinary feeling of cleanliness and freshness. It also has a positive environmental impact by minimising the need for toilet paper.

There are other benefits that make WASHLET interesting for the hotel business. This product is especially easy to clean thanks to technologies including the rimless ceramic bowl and specially developed Tornado Flush, as well as the highly dirt-resistant ceramic CeFiONtect glaze and self-cleaning wand. The manual or automatic descaling feature also helps keep WASHLET working perfectly for a very long time.

The hotel of the future

When examining the question “What does the hotel of the future look like?”, Fraunhofer IAO listed “solutions for innovative bathroom and wellness areas” among the feasible concepts. TOTO WASHLET provides an exceptional hygiene and comfort experience with its many innovative features. For many people seeking relaxation, this one product delivers many of the things people want for their
personal well-being – and can make all the difference for hotel operators and guests.
