Smith College Museum of Art 2008 Rank: 5th Place Location: Northampton, Massachusetts
Inspired by the artist-designed restrooms at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the museum invited Ellen Driscoll and Sandy Skoglund to design the women's and men's rooms, respectively, on the lower level. The water-themed restrooms feature hand-painted tiles and etched glass panels depicting sea creatures and plant life.
I'd like to see this one!

El Monte Sagrado Living Resort and Spa 2008 Rank: Finalist Location: Taos, New Mexico
The restrooms of this tranquil spa have an "Earth in Harmony" theme. The walls are covered in real cork from Portugal. The fossilized rock for the hand basins are incredible, with water flowing out the flush spigot when activated by sensors. The floors are made of slate and the wood used on the stalls is African mahogany, known as Sapelli.
...This one too!

There are some pretty awesome bathrooms right here where I live. [They are in the Shoji Tabuchi Theatre where my husband used to work.]
They call them million dollar bathrooms.
The women's and men's have a fireplace, are VERY ornate, and lavishly decorated. There are fresh orchids at each sink.... there are probably 10-12 sinks in each bathroom.
The men's restroom has a huge pool table... I'm serious! It's in the entry room, with upholstered armed chairs all around the walls so people can watch others play pool.
It's all very fancy. I've seen pictures... they won't allow the opposite sex inside the restrooms, although everyone wants to go see!!
HA!! I found a picture!! Scroll down until you see the pool table... the pic above it is the women's restroom.

I've been in the CBGB bathroom. Funny that it made the list, and sad that the only one of the winning bathrooms I've been in is the grossest! Guess I'll have to go to the Vermont Marble Museum to make up for it. Posts: 449 | From Vermont | Registered: Nov 2004

Which one is that??
Sorry, Lymetoo, I guess I haven't visited Off Topic in a while!
CBGB was a club in the Battery 'hood of NYC. Crazy place. Went there back in the day that I could stay out past 8:00......
