Twin Bath Tubs – Manchester

These unusual twin baths are in a honeymoon suite in a hotel (St. John’s Hotel) Manchester, which I visited when attending a friend’s wedding there. I helped carry the happy couple’s luggage to the room. It seems quite an odd arrangement even for a couple who are obviously quite intimate with one another – a half-way point between sharing a bath and bathing separately. Arthur Chappell

Frolic in the soapy water of one and rinse off intimately in the clean water of the other?

I find it cute, you dont have to worry about waiting too long for the bath to be free.Disadvantage for private bath,not so many people can afford big enough houses to have big enough rooms for big bathrooms

@miniam being a hotel it is something a couple would only use during their stay

@miniam our bathroom would be too small for it - we just have a shower now as my mum couldn't cope with getting in or out of the tub

That is strange...if it is seen in a honeymoon suite. Lol I wonder if all their rooms tub are like that? Or their is also one that is shared? Maybe they did that for some couple who choose not to batch sharing a single tub, they say for hygenic purposes.. maybe for some.

@wiLLmaH yes, this is the actual honeymoon suite a couple were using after a wedding I attended - I helped take up some of their luggage and the presents from guests at the reception - the wedding and reception were held in the same hotel

That is a rather interesting setup. Wonder who thought that up.

the hotel looks quite old fashioned so it probably has an Edwardian origin

perhaps that's to prevent the first argument'f the newly betrothed? ya know, some folks prefer their water near boilin' whilst others not so much, lol.

That is unusual and twin sinks also. I can't even think how twin tubs fit into a honeymoon suite.

Awww, that's so cute! It reminds me of the idea my hubby and I had, of renovating a bathroom so we can have side-by-side toilets. Then we could be together ALL the time.
