Key Takeaways:

  • A hotel room will fail, no matter how intriguing the design, if the elements do not function correctly.
  • Be careful when designing a bathroom, to respect a client’s privacy.
  • Many room designs fail because they do not keep up with the twenty first century.

“If you’ve stayed in a resort with a design flaw, you might be wondering whether there’s any way to avoid doing so again. It turns out there is.”
