After spotting a similar setup in Cambodia's One Hotel and hearing lots of recent opinions on the prevalence of bathtubs in bedrooms, we're labeling the combination bed/bath a full-blown trend — particularly in the world of boutique hotels.
Designed by Berlin-based GRAFT Architects, these combination bedrooms/bathrooms are supported by a curvilinear platform. Bathroom counters are composed of slate and wood, and the beds themselves are a simple mattress with spare white sheets and pillows.
While it's certainly an elegant and space-saving design, the tub/sink/bed clearly isn't designed for people who prefer to keep functional zones more clearly delineated. What do you think? Is this a brilliant solution for small spaces or an uncomfortably close pairing?

Gross. No
Visually attractive but totally impractical. What happens to your mattress when you inevitably splash water out of the tub and it runs right down that slope to pool in the bed inset? And even assuming you can avoid that disaster, where are we assuming the steam ends up? Maybe it's because I live in a humid climate, but all I can think of when I look at this is clammy sheets all the time. No thanks.
That is so creepy. It's just a more modern version of a Poconos "Bridal Suite" with a whirlpool tub in the bedroom. Ewh and ewh. Who thinks this is sexy or even relaxing? Makes me think of chamber pots and steel tubs in a nineteenth century bedroom. Separation please! AND, it is not like they are lacking in space. There is a living space.
It is certainly a creative use of space, no matter how much I want to hurl at the thought of shaving my legs in view of my boyfriend (trying to) watch TV.
This actually creeps me out to the point that I can't look at the thing. The entire rest of the house can be one room but a separate bathroom, PLEASE!
yuck! I would never stay at this hotel.
Even thinking about water that close to my bed is giving me the shivers - inevitably either getting in or out a little water gets splashed and my bed is NOT a place I would want it to go.
This isn't how I personally would do it, but I can't wait to have a bath in my future bedroom. This particular approach, for me, takes all of the romantic luxury out of it... and isn't that the point of a soaker bath in the bedroom?
Great design, it pushes the ideas of hotel design and lifestyle when we travel.
While I actually LIKE the idea of one of those elegant clawfoot tubs in the bedroom area, it doesn't seem practical if you ever intend to share your bathing space with guests or children.
...and yes, this particular setup just looks like a recipe for wet blankets.
These rooms remind me of an old commercial for one of those travel websites - the one where Ma & Pa check into the uber-hip boutique hotel and have all sorts of minor calamities due to the obscure function of certain features, such as when Ma thinks she's turning on the lights and drenches Pa in the shower...
It simply doesn't appear very comfortable nor really all that functional - I mean how are you supposed to rinse off all the suds after a bubble bath? As far as the bed itself - That just looks like a recipe for knocked knees and stubbed toes.
No, Thanks - I'd rather stay at the Hilton.
Bepsf, I think you are supposed to get in the bathtub fairly clean and in Germany are Ölbad (bath with essential oils) very popular.
After an Ölbad you are supposed to just pat yourself dry and get in bed and lie there for a while (or fall asleep).
Still, I wouldn't want to sleep on a mattress that had spilling from my bath and even less from previous occupants....
That's....just....stupid.
