Refreshingly Responsible Hotel Bathrooms

At Olympia West Hall in London, on 20-21st October, Hansgrohe will exhibit for the second time at the Independent Hotel Show. In answer to the needs of smaller boutique hotels, Hansgrohe will demonstrate how sustainable bathrooms can provide an attractive and refreshing experience for guests while also saving money. Working models of Hansgrohe EcoSmart showers and mixer taps will be on Stand 187 for visitors to see how water and energy can be saved, without any compromise on design or enjoyment.

These incorporate new materials such as white glass, effortless intuitive operation with ‘Select’ push button showers and thermostatic controls, and a new Axor collaboration with star British design duo Barber + Osgerby.
