I thought it would be a bathtub rollercoaster.

It should dump you onto the lawn at the end of the rail, that would be funner.

On the third hand, why not?

I’d totally do it. Especially the whole “sip champaign under the stars” angle.
At $280 - $330/night, its less expensive than I thought it would be.

Just don’t ask for the patio table under the bathing guy.

I come from a family of engineers. I can see how the tub could fill - water line coming up on a wall, not attached to the tub - but how do you drain it? I’m guessing it drains onto a sloped floor with a built in drain, but couldn’t one (even accidentally) pull the stopper at any point?

You can see the drain pipe isn’t connected to anything. It must have a floor sink under the tub in the room. The best view of the drain stub and overflow drain is at 15 seconds.

Getting into a steaming outdoor hot tub on a cool starry night is a treat. But the energy waste of leaving the heater on all the time is ridiculous. This is the perfect mashup of Trump America extravagance with Biden America efficiency.

It strikes me that the tub is installed on the rails facing backwards? One doesn’t usually sit at the drain end, which is usually also the faucet end and is more vertical. One usually sits at the sloped end, which is more fitting to lay back against, I think…?

looks like there are two drains-- one outside, one inside.
