by Brianna Crandall — November 10, 2014—Cintas Canada has named the ladies’ restroom at the Shaw Club Hotel and Spa in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, as the winner of the 2014 Cintas Canadas Best Restroom Contest after a summer of public voting. The seriously fun contest recognizes the importance of a clean, stylish restroom on customer retention.
Each year we look for establishments who understand the importance of first impressions and the impact a clean and well-stocked restroom has on their business, and this years winner clearly demonstrates this critical message, says Cintas Senior Marketing Manager, Leslie Molin. We are thrilled to present this award and this years prize of $2,500 in Cintas services to such a deserving establishment. This prize will provide the Shaw Club with the tools and services they need to maintain their facility at an award-winning level.
Designed to feel more like a private club than a hotel, the classy sophistication in the four-diamond luxury Shaw Club Hotel and Spa extends to all aspects of the venue, including the ladies washroom. From the advanced clear-to-clouded glass door technology, to the glass infinity sink and chic feminine dcor, the Shaw Club Hotel and Spa goes above and beyond to provide their customers with a one-of-a-kind experience, says Cintas.
We believe it is important to put care and design into a washroom so that it is not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing, and we often see the impact it has on the guests, as we hear women raving about the washroom to other female customers. They love the serene environment and elegant dcor, says the Shaw Club Hotel and Spas sales and marketing manager, Jason Baumgartner.
The 2014 finalists were selected based on cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality and unique design elements. Thousands of votes were cast online through September 30, which produced the following results:
- First Place: Shaw Club Hotel and Spa, Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
- Second Place: Calgary Zoo, Calgary, AB
- Third Place: Vancouver Airport, Vancouver, BC
- Fourth Place: Patria, Toronto, ON
- Fifth Place: Planet Hollywood, Niagara Falls, ON
Shaw Club Hotel and Spa and the Calgary Zoo will receive the coveted Canadas Best Restroom plaques of recognition and secure their place in the Canadas Best Restroom Hall of Fame.
