Talking about the products Duravit has for hospitality sector, Asutosh Shah, Managing Director, Duravit India, says, “The significance of hotel bathroom has risen considerably. It is a key factor for customer satisfaction and the quality of guests’ stay. Whether in a three-star city hotel or a five-star luxury resort: comfortable, spacious bathrooms with perfect hygiene are a solid foundation for satisfied hotel guests. Duravit, from designer sanitaryware products to new-age bathroom products, has a variety of products that cater to all the needs of the hospitality sector.” A wide range of vanity basins to basins with large counter space, big bouquet of the freestanding and built-in bathtub with massage options and the stone-like Stonetto shower tray turns showering into an encounter with nature are available in multiple sizes and customisation options.

“As a full bathroom company, we are committed to bringing new designs and technology every year. Our recent launch D-Neo offers premium quality and sophisticated design at an attractive entry-level price. The individual elements of the complete bathroom range fit into any ambience whether compact or spacious. The first bathroom range by Belgian designer Bertrand Lejoly is a testament to his extraordinary instinct for interior design. This year we will introduce three spectacular design series and two international designers as well as a new range of faucets designed by Philippe Starck,” shares Shah about the new offerings for 2022.

On how different Duravit is from its competitors, he says, “Innovations and trends are adopted faster in hotels than in domestic bathrooms. Sensowash by Duravit and Philippe Starck, offers maximum comfort with features like automatic cover opening, seat-heater and hot-air dryer.  The flat seat, 40 mm high, and white cover behind it form a flush-fitting and easy-to-clean unit.” 

Duravit offers a special furniture basin with large counter space which fulfills the hotels’ needs of having large counter space around the basin. Then there are shower trays in 14 sizes. “The Stonetto shower tray system is an ideal solution for any hotel bathroom. Made from high-quality DuraSolid®, shower trays feature anti-slip qualities. The matt surface has an authentic and stone-like appearance and is available in white, sand, anthracite, and concrete,” he says.
