Build Bath & Shower

When it comes to luxury hotels in Bath, UK, the Gainsborough Bath Spa hotel has something no other hotel can match: thermal water piped right into the pools in their Roman-inspired Spa Village. Add to that fine cuisine, sleek design and a location in the centre of Bath, and you’ve got a great way to vacation in Bath and connect with the culture. Here’s my experience. Connecting with spa culture It’s almost a shame there is so much to see in Bath, UK, because all I want to do is loll around in the water.  After all, isn’t travel all about connecting with a place, the history and the culture? If you ask me (and I’m aware you didn’t), connecting with steamy thermal water is the best kind of connection of all, especially in Bath, the only place in England with hot springs.

The accident rate doesn 't surprise Bruce Goff , a San Francisco- based hotel room designer . Mr. Goff, who specializes in bathrooms, said that he has walked into some hotel rooms and thought, ''Gee, I hope their insurance is paid up.'' Three factors determine the kind of material that goes into a hotel bathroom, he said: initial cost, aesthetics and cleaning time. ''Luxury is the be-all and end-all,'' he added, ''and the marketplace competition is what drives the aesthetics.'' In other words, bathrooms sell rooms . Supersizing It The increased presence of the supersize bathtub, with high sides and wide interiors, is another hazard. Stepping in from a slippery floor surface onto a slippery tub surface magnifies the problem. Russ Kendzior of the National Floor Safety Institute , a trade organization that promotes the use of high-traction materials, says that hotels don't like to use the available materials or rubber mats because ...

Hotel Review: After the 25th "I'm exhausted and I can't keep working these crazy hours," I decided it was time to force my husband to take a vacation, and although he was (and is) a classic workaholic, he sheepishly agreed. Knowing that I travel somewhat extensively for my job, he left the destination up to me. My choice — a magnificently restored hacienda in the Yucatan region of Mexico, known simply as Hacienda Petac. After a short flight from our home in South Florida, we began our journey via rental car to the tiny village of Petac, about 30 minutes outside the city of Merida. I should probably explain what I mean by tiny. I mean two streets, a soccer field, a basketball court, two churches of different denominations, a corn grinding factory , known locally as a tortillaria, as well as three corner stores known as tiendas. That's what I mean by small. In truth, the village of Petac exists because of the Hacienda. Consisting of roughly 170 residents, m...

GETTY Bath is a great city for taking a stroll and taking in the sights See It is a great city for taking a stroll and taking in the sights. Sweeping crescents and elegant Georgian streets sit alongside cobbled alleyways and a beautiful riverside, all of which can be covered on an afternoon ramble. But the history is interwoven with the modern in Bath which definitely has its youthful, vibrant side. Centuries-old shops stand next to trendy boutiques, old honey- coloured stone houses and some of the latest luxury hotels and restaurants. First stop, though, must be the Roman Baths (romanbaths.co.uk) where the practice of wallowing in the area’s natural thermal waters began . Descend below street level and you will see a network of spa pools in a fantastic state of preservation. However, even in this paragon of the ancient world, technology gives history a helping hand. Newly opened in the East Baths – which were women-only – are computer- generated displays showing in lifelike detail...

The overwater bungalow - that iconic symbol of the paradisiacal tropical vacation , standing in clear blue water on stilt legs - turns the big five-oh this year. The thatched huts, often outfitted with such luxury amenities as plunge pools and glass floors to better see the fish below, are a staple on the bucket lists and Pinterest boards of aspirational travelers the world over. Yet their origin lies in a surprisingly prosaic exercise in problem-solving.  Back in the '60s, three tanned, party- hearty California kids - Hugh Kelley, Don "Muk" McCallum and Jay Carlisle - left their 9-to-5s in pursuit of their tropical dreams in French Polynesia. Opening hotels on Moorea and Raiatea, the trio was dubbed the Bali Hai Boys, after the mystical island in James Michener's novel "South Pacific."   Carlisle, now in his 70s, reminisces about those days:   "Our Hotel Bali Hai on Moorea thrived with its beachfront property, but Hotel Bora Bora on Raiatea stru...
