Separate bathtub and shower is also mandatory, but strangely enough I don't care about dual vanity. One is ok for me.
I usually like to try styles & décors very different from our place. When we are on vacation we like the feeling of being away from home, and we like a decor which reflects the location. Our best memories are probably the Dalem Jiwo suite or FS Florence.
Public areas shall not designed to be beautiful only, they shall serve as living spaces. Aman Venice comes to mind here.
