Best bathrooms around the world?
This week begins the second Bathroom Blogfest, an event started last year by Stephanie Weaver and Susan Abbot. Their goal is to increase awareness about a customer’s experience, and the importance of a great bathroom.
They’ve got 22 bloggers so far and since I’m unable to volunteer this year I thought that I’d bring up the topic of bathrooms around the world. Indeed the quality of the bathroom, and how to find one in a foreign country — let alone how to use it — is frequently on the forefront of a traveler’s mind.
Here are some great global bathroom resources:

Weird Toilets and Sinks from Around the World [Jimmyr]
Have you ever encountered a great bathroom while traveling?

The Nevada State House in Carson City. Baronial splendor, and the cop on duty doesn’t mind if you’re only there on a personal errand.

During my 1989 trip to Paris I visited the public bathroom of The Ritz Carlton; there is no comparison anywhere that I have seen.

I strongly suggest that everyone avoid the bathrooms at the Minneapolis airport.

Nobody talked about the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. The urinal is a rock waterfall. Everything is over the top and each motel room is different with theme everything.

Designed my home bathroom after the Four Seasons in Istanbul, pure decadence.

That’s too funny there’s a bathroom article here in the LA times. I’m a singer/songwriter who just played a gig where the coffeehouse venue I was at is listed on a website called safe2pee, ran by an outfit called the Bathroom Liberation Front. I told the owners of the coffeehouse, they had no clue. Wonder if those other places list here know of their unique position in the potty pantheon lol?

The most scenic I have ever seen, was in Anzo Borreago State Park. The facility consisted of a very nice open air rock walled “building”. While attending to duty, one could enjoy beautiful views of the sky and surrounding mountains. Also, this was a flush toilet, which for a state park is a big bonus!
