At the time it was an exquisite, state of the art hotel that provided inspiration many other hotels that have subsequently been built on the upper floors of tall, mixed use buildings.

The standard these days should be plenty of space AND double vanities. That is easily achievable in a 50 square meter or larger room. Peninsula properties such as Bangkok and Tokyo, for example, have an elegant bathroom deign that really works. A bathtub in the center, vanities on both the left and right sides, and shower stall and enclosed toilet in the two corners next to the doors. It's so simple, but is user friendly for both couples and solo travelers.
Surprisingly, the Andaz Large room doesn't have double vanities either. You have to go all the way to the 5 suites for that. I don't know what Tony Chi was thinking.
