Hotel Bathroom Accessories List: 7 Lines, 8 With a Bath
A hotel bathroom accessories list has seven lines per shower room: towel shelf, towel bar, towel ring, robe hook, toilet roll holder, soap dish and shower shelf. A room with a bath adds one grab bar. Multiply by the room schedule, and keep accessible rooms on their own list.

Count per guest bathroom
Each row is one piece per room unless it says otherwise. These are starting counts for the first schedule, so drop any line the interior designer has designed out. The door hook, the privacy lever, the hinges and the stop belong to the door, and they are counted in our hotel guest room door hardware list, linked below.
| Line | Shower room | Room with a bath | Usual position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Towel shelf | 1 | 1 | Above the towel bar, or near the shower |
| Towel bar | 1 | 1 | Within reach of the shower or bath |
| Towel ring | 1 | 1 | Beside the basin |
| Robe hook | 1 | 1 | Wall beside the shower or bath |
| Toilet roll holder | 1 | 1 | Side wall, within reach of the WC |
| Soap dish | 1 | 1 | Basin wall or shower wall |
| Shower shelf or basket | 1 | 1 | Shower wall or inside corner |
| Grab bar | None | 1 | Bath wall, on solid backing |
Worked order: 120 rooms
This example has 90 shower rooms, 24 rooms with a bath and 6 accessible rooms. Take the accessible rooms off first, which leaves 114 rooms on this list. Agree a spare count for each line with the operator, then add it to the quantities here.
| Line | Working | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Towel shelf | 114 rooms × 1 | 114 |
| Towel bar | 114 rooms × 1 | 114 |
| Towel ring | 114 rooms × 1 | 114 |
| Robe hook | 114 rooms × 1 | 114 |
| Toilet roll holder | 114 rooms × 1 | 114 |
| Soap dish | 114 rooms × 1 | 114 |
| Shower shelf or basket | 114 rooms × 1 | 114 |
| Grab bar | 24 bath rooms × 1 | 24 |
| Accessible rooms | 6 rooms | From the accessible toilet list |
Choose the finish before the room design is fixed
Finish decides which lines exist. Every line below comes in Satin Stainless Steel (SSS) and Polished Stainless Steel (PSS), but Matt Black (MB) stops short of a full room. A black bathroom has no listed towel shelf, towel ring or shower shelf, so settle that with the designer before the drawings are issued. Do not mix finishes in one room to fill the gap.
| Line | SSS and PSS | MB |
|---|---|---|
| Towel shelf | BH33, BH32 | None listed |
| Towel bar | BH34 | BH34 |
| Towel ring | BH18 | None listed |
| Robe hook | BH13, BH38, BH54 | BH54, BH40 |
| Toilet roll holder | BH21, BH20, BH23 | BH23, BH22 |
| Soap dish | BH26, BH27 | BH26 |
| Shower basket | BH28, BH29 | None listed |
| Grab bar | BH01, BH03 | None listed |
Fit it once: wall, backing and fixings
- Mark every position on the tile drawing before the tiler starts.
- Plan solid backing behind the grab bar, and behind the towel shelf if the wall is a stud partition.
- Fit one mock-up room first, then copy its heights across the schedule.
- BH18, BH21 and BH34 fix on a concealed base: screw the base to the wall, slide the fitting on, and lock it with the small grub screw.
- Keep that grub screw on the underside, where guests do not see it.
- The BH21 photograph shows a hex key in the fixing bag, so keep one with the maintenance team.
- Corner baskets such as BH29 need an inside corner, so check the shower has one free.
- Never fix an accessory to a glass shower screen.
What goes wrong in a guest room
- BH33 projects 200mm, so keep it clear of the bathroom door swing and of a guest's head.
- Guests pull on whatever is nearest. A towel bar or hook is not a support, so put the grab bar where a hand reaches first.
- BH22 lists a 3M foam pad as its fixing. In a guest bathroom, order a screw-fixed holder instead.
- BH03 and BH04 are 415mm angled bars. They are not on the accessible list, so keep them to standard rooms.
- Chloride cleaners can pit stainless steel. Give housekeeping a neutral cleaner, and write it into the handover.
What to send us
- The room schedule: shower rooms, rooms with a bath and accessible rooms.
- The finish code for the whole project.
- Towel bar length, 300mm to 600mm, and towel shelf length, 450mm or 600mm.
- Wall type behind the tile.
- Which rooms have an inside corner free in the shower.
- The stainless steel grade you need, so it is written on the quotation.
Questions buyers ask
What accessories does a hotel bathroom need?
A towel shelf, towel bar, towel ring, robe hook, toilet roll holder, soap dish and shower shelf. A room with a bath adds a grab bar. Drop any line the designer has replaced, such as a soap dish where the shower has a wall dispenser.
Can the whole list come in matt black?
Not today. MB is listed on BH34, BH54, BH40, BH23, BH22 and BH26. No towel shelf, towel ring, shower shelf or grab bar lists it, so ask us before the design is fixed.
Which toilet roll holder suits a hotel?
BH20 has a cover, BH21 is an open holder, and BH23 adds a shelf on top. All three list SSS and PSS, and BH23 also lists MB. Order one type for the whole project so spare parts stay simple.
Do accessible rooms use this list?
No. Bar lengths, heights and holder positions follow your accessibility code, so count those rooms separately and order them from our accessible toilet hardware list.
Is the door hook on this list?
No. It belongs with the bathroom door, along with the privacy lever, hinges and stop, in our hotel guest room door hardware list. This list counts the hook on the wall by the shower or bath.
What stainless steel grade are these?
The BH washroom models list stainless steel without a grade. Tell us the grade you need and have it written on the quotation line, because it matters most in a wet room or near the sea.
