There's something special about finding a place of peace in a place far away from home. After long days of exploring new cities, I love to unwind in jacuzzi rooms—it's my way of finding that perfect moment of tranquility. There's nothing quite like sinking into warm water, looking out at a foreign skyline or listening to the sounds of a new city, and feeling completely at ease. It's these quiet moments that make travel feel like more than just moving from place to place—they're where I find my center, recharge, and truly appreciate the journey.

Hi, I'm Sophie

Welcome to Bathaway! I'm a luxury travel enthusiast and wellness advocate who has spent many years exploring Europe's most exquisite accommodations with one specific mission: finding the perfect in-room bathing experience.

What started as a personal quest for relaxation after long days of sightseeing has evolved into a passion for discovering hotels that truly understand the art of the bath. From historic clawfoot tubs in Parisian boutique hotels to modern infinity jacuzzis overlooking the Mediterranean.

Through this blog, I share my honest reviews, insider booking tips, and the stories behind each incredible property. Because after a day of exploring cobblestone streets and historic sites, there's nothing quite like returning to your private sanctuary for a luxurious soak.

Join me as I continue this journey, one bubble bath at a time.
