Conveniently placed across from the Verizon Center, their lobby sign actually says "Public Bathroom." It requires an elevator ride up to the third floor, but flowers will be waiting on the sink.

The trip to the loo seems designed to make one realize just how gorgeous the hotel really is. First, you go up a flight of marble stairs, then down an intricately decorated hallway and then down a beautifully carpeted ramp. So of course the restrooms are exquisite with plants on the walls and white stall doors.

For some reason, this lobby bathroom gives the feel of a cool art gallery. It could be the black, white and marble decor or it could be the leather chair and loads of mirrors but it just feels like an oasis.

Come here if you need some serious privacy. All of the toilets are completely enclosed (so no ability to pass toilet paper between stalls) and the white and marble color scheme has a calming effect.

This lobby was one of the most active in the general area, so of course it has a public restroom. Who is to say that all of the folks sitting in the lobby were guests? This bathroom has the advantage of a seated waiting area with a comfortable chair.

Finding this water closet is a bit of an experience and requires an elevator ride, but there are signs clearly indicating its location and there are framed paintings all over the walls.

The bathroom in this hotel isn't luxe, but it is pleasant and it is readily available. Also, another good bathroom to use for some extra privacy courtesy of the nice wooden doors. Plus, the lobby is enormous and there's nice enough contemporary pop songs playing over the PA.

It's a few pretty light fixtures away from being a standard public restroom, but we're giving it a pass because a) the dark reddish color scheme and b) it's inside one of the most impressive hotel atria available in the city.
