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.

The Standard High Line, New York City, New York
The standalone bathtubs at The Standard also offer sweeping panoramic views. This bathroom is located in the chic hotel’s Corner King room and has floor-to-ceiling windows, offering you an opportunity to bathe in the sunset light — literally.

The Standard High Line: 848 Washington St, New York
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.

Castle Hot Springs is a luxurious boutique resort in the Bradshaw Mountains of Arizona. Established in 1896 it was Arizona’s first luxury resort, frequented by celebrities and socialites. After many years of closure, the resort was meticulously restored and reopened in 2019, blending its early-20th-century charm with a contemporary, off-grid ethos.
The highlight of the resort, without a doubt, is the hot springs. And you can enjoy soaking under the stars at many of their accommodations in privacy. In particular, the Spring Bungalows feature outdoor tubs with water that comes from the mineral springs. The spring water is believed to have a number of health benefits, including relaxation, stress relief, and improved circulation. Soaking in the outdoor bath is a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the resort’s many amenities or hiking in the surrounding Bradshaw Mountains.

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.

Nothing says “Bienvenido a Miami,” like the institution of The Setai. Sitting a mere few steps away from South Beach, The Setai looms over the sand but offers guests privacy and relaxed vibes. Although many of the bathrooms do not have sweeping views, they are lavished in dark wood and Asian-inspired design details. Reminisce of a calming spa, the stunning black granite tub offers guests a tranquil haven from Miami culture and makes this one of the best hotels with big bathtubs.
