Bring Back Bathroom Doors in Hotels

Many travelers are frustrated with the recent trend of hotels removing bathroom doors, prioritizing sleek designs over privacy. While open-concept rooms might seem fashionable and cost-effective, they compromise personal dignity and comfort.

In response, I’ve created a website dedicated to highlighting hotels that still feature bathroom doors, as well as identifying those lacking privacy. I contacted hundreds of hotels, asking whether their doors close completely and whether they are made of glass. Hotels that meet these criteria are organized by location and price, making it easier for travelers to find accommodations with guaranteed privacy.

Before booking, visitors can quickly check if a hotel has been reported as doorless by previous guests. This transparency helps travelers select rooms that ensure personal boundaries are respected.

This project also relies on community support. If you’ve stayed at a hotel without a bathroom door, you can submit its name and photos via email or social media. By doing so, we aim to hold hotels accountable and protect the dignity of future guests through public awareness.

In conclusion, restoring bathroom doors in hotels is essential for maintaining privacy and respect. Travelers deserve spaces that uphold their comfort and dignity, and collective effort can make this a standard once again.
