Just like crisp immaculately ironed Egyptian cotton pillowcases are a true giveaway of luxury, a hotel’s bathroom, too, is a great way to gauge a standard of comfort and service. A jaw-dropping open rainfall shower, local, high-quality complimentary beauty and wellness products, and an indulgent deep bathtub add that extra special something to a trip away. But there are some hotels across the country that truly excel in this department. To the point that you might want to book a stay just to lounge in the tub. These are the best luxury hotels with big bathtubs.

Arlo Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York
Arlo Williamsburg (formerly The Williamsburg Hotel) is the epitome of “hip,” offering a more intimate, laid-back vibe than the other hotels of its standard in Brooklyn. The rooms are punctuated with a calming color pallet of rich leather brown, mustard soft furnishings, and, of course, its iconic aqua blue tiles in the bathroom. The Loft Suite, in particular, is worth booking. Reviews state it’s more like a large New York apartment than a more typical cramped hotel room, commonly found in the area. The beautifully tiled wet-room comes with a walk-in shower and standalone tub — both of which have views of the surrounding neighborhood.
Arlo Williamsburg: 96 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249

Waldorf Astoria, Las Vegas, Nevada
The bathtubs in the suites at the Waldorf Astoria differ slightly in grandeur, but all are standalone and offer an unparalleled view of the Las Vegas strip. The Penthouse Suite is without a doubt one of the most impressive hotel bathrooms in the US. Enclosed in glass, the sleek, sophisticated sunken bath is surrounded by heavy polished European marble and offers guests a selection of a signature 20-piece collection of Salvatore Ferragamo bath products. Personally, I couldn’t think of a better way to enjoy Las Vegas than with a glass of bubbly in this tub.
