Posted on September 7, 2011February 25, 2020 by Best Restroom

Public Voting Begins for Second Annual Awards Program Presented by Cintas Canada

MISSISSAUGA, ON, September 7, 2011– Will Canada’s next Best Washroom be nestled inside of an egg-shaped pod? Will it feature rich floor-to-ceiling white marble tiling? How about energy efficient lighting, low-flow automatic fixtures and recycled paper products? These are just some of the impressive images inside the five public washrooms that will compete for the coveted title of Canada’s Best Restroom, the popular contest sponsored by Cintas Canada and now in its second year.

The public is invited to vote for their top pick at www.bestrestroom.com/canada through October 24, 2011. The site takes visitors on a photographic tour of each facility and then encourages them to choose their favourite. The winner will be announced this fall.

This year’s finalists for Canada ’s Best Restroom are:

Finalist	Location	Restroom Features
Allstream Centre	Toronto, Ontario	Allstream Centre combines luxury with the highest environmental standards. The ladies washroom features a separate carpeted lounge and makeup area, complete with comfortable seating and individually illuminated mirror areas finished in walnut wood accents. The vanity areas showcase clean white custom Corian countertops with frosted and backlit mirrors and touch-free taps and soap dispensers. Allstream Centre is Canada’s first conference centre built to a LEED Silver Standard, which incorporates the highest quality interior finishes and fixtures while maintaining a superior ecological standard. The individual waterclosets are equipped with low flow, automatic fixtures and utilize a rainwater-harvesting program that collects water from the rooftop to flush the toilets. All paper products are made from recycled fibres and the hand-towels are composted after use.

David Morris Fine Cars	Edmonton, Alberta	This contemporary washroom features an exquisite handpicked sandstone floor-to-ceiling accent wall, mosaic floor tiles, cultured stone and a mahogany freestanding sink. The washroom features low flow toilets and energy efficient CFL bulbs. Water restrictor taps finish off this modern space. Fresh flowers and cloth hand towels add to this inviting space. For a personal touch, this auto dealership offers its clients a shelf of complimentary items such as mouthwash, body spray and hand lotions.

e11even	Toronto, Ontario	e11even’s contemporary and spacious washrooms were designed by members of the world renowned New York design firm, The Rockwell Group. Ensuring the luxury and intimate ambiance of the restaurant was infused into the restrooms, guests are able to relax and indulge in a private space with finishes such as rich marble tiling from floor to ceiling, modern sink basins, elegant mosaic tile accents and hygienic Toto Washlets.

Hôtel Le Germain Montréal	Montreal, Quebec	Hôtel Le Germain Montréal offers the comforts of home in their public washroom. Soft hand towels and luxurious bath products await you. The ambiance is serene, the light both functional and soothing, and the luxury unparalleled.

Ottawa Convention Centre	Ottawa, Ontario	The Ottawa Convention Centre, which opened this year, is Canada’s newest meeting space. Its sophisticated ‘space-age’ style washrooms are quite a sight! Designers wanted to avoid one large bank of washrooms on each of four meeting floors, preferring to spread them out and place them where people expected washrooms to be. In order to accomplish this, the washrooms at the north end of Levels Two and Three are located inside a key design feature – the “orb” – to maximize the use of space. These handicap accessible restrooms have no exterior doors leading in to the washrooms, which are accessed through curved entranceways. This prevents the spread of germs, as do the hands-free faucets. The curved entrances also keep light, odours and noise from escaping the washroom. The Ottawa Convention Centre uses a rainwater cistern located under the building to decrease water consumption by nearly 70%.

Fans can also participate by visiting the Best Restroom Facebook page, Twitter account and YouTube Channel to post comments, receive contest updates, share photos or upload videos; links to all three sites are on the contest homepage.

Cintas created Canada’s Best Restroom in 2010 to honour those businesses across Canada that place hygiene and style at the top of their priority lists. Proprietors recognize the parallel between clean washrooms and customer retention. “We like to think of this contest as an entertaining way of drawing the public’s attention to the very important issue of restroom hygiene,” says Cintas Canada’s Senior Marketing Manager Leslie Molin. “There is a bigger business message behind this quirky contest: How you keep your restrooms is indicative of how you run your facilities. In business operations today this is extremely important.”

The winner of the inaugural Canada’s Best Restroom contest was The Cactus Club in Vancouver. To view photos of previous winners, visit www.bestrestroom.com/canada and click on the Hall of Fame.

Public Voting Begins for Tenth Annual Awards Program Presented by Cintas Corporation

CINCINNATI, OH, August 1, 2011.- Will America’s next Best Restroom be nestled inside a 13th century Tuscan castle and winery in Northern California? Will it feature silhouettes of birds in mid-flight? How about a section of the Berlin Wall? These are just some of the spectacular images inside the ten public bathrooms that will compete for the coveted title of America’s Best Restroom, the popular contest sponsored by Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) and now in its tenth year.

The public is invited to vote for their top pick at www.bestrestroom.com through Monday, September 19, 2011. The site takes visitors on a photographic tour of each facility and then encourages them to choose their favorite. The winner will be announced this fall.

This year’s finalists for America’s Best Restroom are:

Finalist	Location	Restroom Features
Castello di Amorosa Winery	Calistoga, California	This restroom boasts hand-painted Italian-style frescoes. The sinks are custom made from travertine imported from Tuscany, Italy. The spigots reflect a common Castello theme of dragons and gargoyles.

Don’s Johns Presidential Luxury Restroom Trailer	Chantilly, Virginia	This regal restroom trailer was actually set up for President Obama during the 2009 Inauguration. It features granite counters and shelves, black marbleized walls, wood panel doors, and a hardwood-designed floor. Climate-controlled heat and air conditioning also guarantees to keep guests in maximum comfort during their visit. The dual audio system not only plays soothing music inside for the visiting guests, but those waiting outside can keep up with the event on an exterior-mounted flat screen television!

The Field Museum	Chicago, Illinois	With two large family-friendly restrooms on the ground floor, the Field Museum features sufficient stalls and sinks, as well as eco-friendly hand-dryers. The women’s restroom has a special nursing room with a shut door, sink, and small sofa for new mothers. The women’s restroom also has a large “Tot Area” with smaller toilets for our littlest guests.

Habana Outpost	Brooklyn, New York	The restrooms at Habana Outpost feature a glass roof over-head with hanging plants and the galvanized walls. The ‘green’ toilets flush with rainwater! Water is collected through a series of rain gutters and stored in a holding tank where it is filtered and then redirected to the toilets, saving thousands of gallons of water every week. Architecture students designed the system as part of a design program called Urban Studio Brooklyn which is part of the non-profit Habana Works.

The Joule Poule at the Joule Dallas Hotel	Dallas, Texas	This rooftop pool bathroom features an outdoor shower that uses beautiful blue mosaic tiles to depict others showering. The cool color choices are intended to reflect the clarity of blue water. The design is carried into the restroom, which features contemporary art, wood paneling, modern lighting and cloth hand towels.

Main Street Station Casino	Las Vegas, Nevada	A graffiti-covered segment of the oppressive wall that once separated East and West Berlin now serves an appropriate function in the gentlemen’s restroom in the main casino area, as it holds the urinals.

Ninja New York	New York, New York	Diners are transported back to a 15th-century Japanese village. And while their wait staff, dressed as ninjas, may have some lethal moves, it’s their toilet that will knock you dead in your tracks. This bathroom is outfitted with a control pad that operates seat warmers, a water spray (that oscillates or pulsates) and a built-in deodorizer and blow drier.

Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel	Arlington, Virginia	The use of light reflects the evidence of motion throughout this elegant restroom. Walls ablaze with sunset tones of orange and gold and silhouettes of birds in mid-flight.

Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts	Scottsdale, Arizona	This loo is sleek and modern with terrazzo flooring, glass-tiled walls and spacious, stainless steel stalls. An ingenious lighting system continuously shifts the colors of the space from cool blues and greens to warm golds and reds.

Snowbasin Resort	Huntsville, Utah	Snowbasin’s restrooms feature Italian Carrera marble, Barovier, Tosso & Moscatelli chandeliers crafted from bronze and crystal, floor to ceiling commodes, beautifully inlaid African Anegre wood and hand-painted walls.
