May I just take a moment of your time to show what I think is an all-too-rare well designed hotel shower. A micro-topic, for sure, but hotel shower faults come up regularly.
Athens Capital Hotel (Accor), standard room.

First, and most obviously there isn't a bath underneath it!
* Controls are out of the way of the water stream, so you don't get cold water on yourself turning the thing on
* Door opens both ways, so you can put the bathmat directly outside the door, rather than it being swept away by an outwards-opening door
* Drainage channels inside the doorway, so the water doesn't flood out onto the bathroom floor
* An alcove for your own shampoo and soap, notwithstanding the now-usual dispensers
* A towel-hook within the shower (to the left), out of water's reach, so you can towel-off without having to grope for the towel outside the shower
* The marble floors are textured, minimising slipping (unlike my last pace, where the polished marble shower floor was lethal)
* Wand and rain shower
* Something for us oldies to hang on to (you know what I mean
)
