This is the splendid and stylish Kingsley suite, with its bathtub, designer lighting, crisp clean towels and fancy sinks.
But that's not what we want you to look at in this photo. We'd like you to look at the bin under the vanity, as the hotel's rubbish is the focus of this story.
The suite belongs to the recently opened five-star Crystalbrook Kingsley in Newcastle.
The hotel has partnered with University of Newcastle researchers to reduce waste.
The hotel will give restaurant and bar waste to the university's Food Science Research Group.
The university will use rubbish such as citrus peel, ground coffee, fruit pulp and skin and other food waste, determining how they can be "upcycled into the likes of coasters, beverage stirrers and complimentary guest items".
Additionally, an annual Crystalbrook Kingsley environmental scholarship will be granted over the next four years to University of Newcastle students "with a strong passion for waste utilisation".
Each year, the student awarded the scholarship will work with the hotel to put more environmentally-friendly practices in place.
Dr Taiwo Akanbi, of the university, said the collaboration was "consistent with a circular economy idea", in which waste is reused and environmental footprints are reduced.
Dr Akanbi said it was a "timely innovation that puts Australian waste utilisation research at the forefront internationally".
The Crystalbrook hospitality group has also introduced "waste-free bathroom amenities across its portfolio".
The circular economy is coming and business will have to adapt. Looks like Crystalbrook and the university are on board.
Crystalbrook Kingsley is, of course, in the old council roundhouse building. The circular economy working in a circular building. Makes sense.
Ray Tay or Ray Bay?
Some creative folks at Port Stephens Council have given Raymond Terrace the nickname "Ray Tay".
This, of course, brings to mind the celebrity nickname "Tay Tay" [Taylor Swift].
Most recently, the Ray Tay nickname was used in a social media post to promote an upgrade of the town's CBD.
Councillor Giacomo Arnott isn't a fan of the nickname. He lodged a notice of motion at Tuesday night's council meeting, which "recognises that the people of Raymond Terrace respect their town".
The motion also: "Notes that referring to the town properly in media and social media is important to show that an organisation also respects the town".
It also: "Notes that Port Stephens Council respects Raymond Terrace and its people and, to that end, directs the communications team to cease using the phrase 'Ray Tay' in all functions of their work, to ensure that council is appropriately respecting the town of Raymond Terrace and its people".
The motion lapsed, as it didn't get a seconder.
Giacomo's feelings on the matter remind us of people who don't like the term Newy to describe Newcastle. It really does get some people's goat.
Anyhow, what if you combined Raymond Terrace and Nelson Bay like the celebrity couple nicknames Bennifer and Brangelina?
It would surely be known as Ray Bay. Mind you, that could be confused with Ray-Ban sunglasses.
Hang on, though, what if the council did a joint marketing effort to produce a bespoke form of Ray-Ban sunnies for the area?
The slogan would be: "Get your Ray-Ban sunglasses at Ray-Bay".
They'd sell like hot cakes.
