About Ruby Claire Hotel, Geneva

Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva sits close to the shores of Lac Léman and the city’s boutiques, restaurants and cultural attractions. The hotel takes inspiration from Geneva’s position as a global centre for peace and cooperation, translating this international outlook into an interior that combines neutral tones with colourful influences from around the world

The Brief

For hospitality environments, inclusive bathroom design needs to consider more than compliance in isolation. Accessible features form part of the complete guest experience and should be considered alongside the materials, finishes and details used throughout the wider interior.

At Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva, the requirement was for accessible bathroom products that could support the needs of an accessible washroom while remaining sympathetic to the hotel’s design-led approach.

The project demonstrates an important principle for hotel specifiers: considering accessibility as part of the initial design intent can help create a more cohesive environment, rather than treating accessible provision as a separate element later in the process.

Our Approach

Fitzroy supplied products from the Gosfield Collection in the Signature Range.

The removable approach provides specifiers with flexibility when developing an accessible bathroom design, helping them consider how accessibility requirements and the wider interior can work together.

For architects and interior designers, this is particularly important in hospitality. Accessible spaces should provide the functionality required by guests without unnecessarily departing from the design language established elsewhere in the property.

By approaching specification in this way, accessible bathroom experts can help project teams resolve accessibility requirements while protecting the integrity of the wider design concept.

The Result

The completed specification demonstrates how an inclusive bathroom can form a considered part of a design-led hospitality environment.

The Gosfield Removable Collection provides the required accessible elements while supporting the considered character of Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva.

It is an example of how accessibility and aesthetics do not need to be approached as competing priorities. When considered together from the outset, they can contribute to washrooms that are practical for users while remaining connected to the wider guest experience.

Value to the Customer

For hotel designers, architects and project teams, successful design-led accessible bathrooms require a balance of usability, specification requirements and design intent.

This project provides a useful bathroom example of how carefully selected accessible products can help achieve that balance.

Specifying from Fitzroy’s Signature Range also gives project teams access to a coordinated approach to accessible washroom design. This can help architects make informed specification decisions while maintaining consistency between accessible spaces and the wider project aesthetic.

For Fitzroy, the objective is not simply to supply individual products. As bathroom design experts, we help specifiers work through the more complex aspects of accessible washroom design so that accessibility can be considered confidently alongside the other priorities of the project.
