This Taiwanese spot made the list — Top 10 Hotels for IG Bathroom Selfies

By MOOK Scenic Spots, compiled report
 
Following the recent trend of everyone posting “just woke up like this” selfies (I totally just woke up like this) and those innocent yet slightly sexy slightly-open-mouth selfies (Fish Gape), a well-known booking platform found that “bathroom selfies #BathroomSelfie” have become the latest check-in craze on global Instagram.

According to data, bathroom selfies mostly come from hotel bathrooms visited by the global “travel selfie crowd.” Perfect lighting and handy selfie sticks no longer meet the selfie standards of millennials—lavish decor, high-end jacuzzis, large mirrored spaces, and luxurious toiletries and bathrobes are the hottest attention-grabbing elements. The “bathroom” has successfully risen from an atypical selfie spot to one of the most popular photo spots across all social media. Among them, #BathroomSelfie boasts over 1.5 million check-ins on Instagram, 32 times more than bedroom selfies (#BedroomSelfie) and 13 times more than elevator selfies (#LiftSelfie).

To help travelers take more stunning bathroom selfies, Hotels.com invited travel expert and selfie pro Mollie (Where’s Mollie) to reveal 7 tips for nailing your “#BathroomSelfie,” so you no longer have to struggle to find the perfect angle or go crazy editing out cluttered backgrounds.

Master the Angle
Avoid the devilish upward angle—it's a big no-no for selfies. Keeping the camera at a certain height lets you flaunt your stylish outfit while avoiding an accidental double chin.

Say No to Paparazzi Light
Be extra careful when taking mirror selfies—avoid using overly strong flash to prevent producing those awful paparazzi-like shots.

Towel Lift Trick
Wrap a towel around your head to create a natural lifting effect and get those supermodel-perfect facial contours.

Seize the Moment
Selfies are all about speed and precision. If you like the current angle, don’t hesitate—hit that shutter for a burst of shots.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Remember to put away yesterday’s laundry and towels to create a “fake clean” background and give yourself a comfortable selfie moment.

The Devil’s in the Details
Mirror selfies can easily reveal secrets through small details. While angling for the perfect shot, make sure to hide that IG boyfriend or girlfriend lurking in the corner—don’t let the “photographer” ruin the aesthetic.

Don’t Stop Shooting
A must-have skill for selfie pros: burst mode. Shooting in quantity guarantees you’ll have great photos to choose from. The abundance of great shots also makes for perfect material for future “#Throwback” or “#Latergram” posts—great value.

Here are 10 globally recommended hotels with stunning bathrooms, where “travel enthusiasts” and “selfie lovers” can snap ultra-trendy #BathroomSelfies to their heart’s content.
