Designers disagree on mirror placement

Some hotel founders believe standard mirrors feel like purely functional additions that do not connect with room décor. Others argue that guests need the ability to see their full appearance before leaving for events. This debate has become a hotly contested aspect of modern hotel design.

Alternatives replace standard glass panels

One designer hunts down antique mirrors or large framed ones to integrate them into the overall décor. Another founder firmly supports keeping full-length mirrors as a long-standing necessity for guests. The absence of these items in five-star rooms has caused shock among visitors.
