13 Lavish Hotels With Statement Making Soaking Tubs

There’s something supremely serene about free-standing soaking tubs — particularly when they’re placed with prominence in a room. Now, recent data reveals that statement-making tubs are on trend, and designers of luxury bathrooms are taking notice.

Indeed, many hotels have put these marble, porcelain, and stainless steel works of art on display in bathrooms or guest rooms, often with epic views of the sea or mountains as a backdrop, so guests can indulge in a spalike experience without ever leaving their rooms.

These soaking tubs may be round, oval, or rectangular in shape and vary in style — some feature clean, sharp lines, while others are more amorphous and fluid, mimicking the ocean waves they overlook.

Discover 13 epic soaking tubs across five continents where your stresses can slip away one bath at a time.
