What happened to bathroom doors?
If you've been to a hotel built in the last 15 years you might be asking what happened to privacy? This video is all about the trend of removing bathroom doors from hotel rooms. I interviewed Sadie, from Bring Back Doors, about her mission to shame hotels into putting bathroom doors back in hotels. She created a website where you can find hotels with real bathrooms doors. I also look at a textbook from 2001 all about hotel design and planning to understand where it all went wrong (or right if you're into that kind of this.)
