In terms of a luxurious bathroom experience, Salt Lake City's Grand America Hotel is No. 2.
The Salt Lake City hotel ranked second among 10 finalists in the ninth annual "America's Best Restroom" contest, conducted by Cintas Corporation.
The Grand America was cited for "Italian Carerra Marble, bronze and crystal chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling commodes, beautifully inlaid African Anegre Wood and hand- painted walls."
The winner is The Fountain on Locust, a St. Louis ice cream parlor, which boasts "hand-painted murals, ornate fixtures and designer mirrors."
