Luxury accommodations with shared bathrooms .. why?

[Anonymous]

I’m curious about the interest in these. Why stay at a hotel that’s renovated, or modern and new but with a shared bathroom situation?


Faraway Nantucket is an example.

Have no idea what you're talking about OP. These seem like very specific, named rooms, so I'd imagine you book them with kids and treat them like suites? I doubt anyone would share with a stranger. https://www.farawayhotels.com/nantucket/rooms

Bathrooms are shared, private and limited to one guest at a time. These bathrooms are shared with up to 5 other guest rooms. Priced accordingly, these unique accommodations are ~ 100 square feet.

I would never do that.

Its the cheapest room at a small B&B, that is absolutely standard.

It seems specific to that property. Nantucket doesn't tons of hotels, so you get what you get. It's an old house, and I guess the owners are trying to make the most of the bedroom-to-bathroom ratio because they can.

That’s not luxury. I don’t are how nice the bedroom is. I don’t even want to share at home!

If it's a B&B situation, that's usual. Otherwise, I've never seen any shared bath situation for otherwise comfortable accommodations.

Same. It would not be a vacation for me if I had to share a bathroom with people outside of my travel companions.

I find it super annoying. My BIL rented a large "luxury" house in palm springs for his bday and it was like 10 or 12 bedrooms but several had shared bathrooms. DH and I had a jack and jill bathroom with a single male friend. It was situated so the toilet and shower were behind an additional door, the jack/jill opened into the sink area. But still, these places are going for like $10k a night and you have to share a bathroom? Anyways, yeah it's a thing.

We did this on block island to save money. It’s fine but it’s not luxury by any means.
