NEW YORK, May 27 (UPI) -- The Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wis., has been honored for having America's best restrooms.

Kohler's Medierranean-style facility was picked from among more than 200 entries across the country, CNN said. Voters cast ballots on the Web site Cintas Corp., supplier of uniforms and restroom hygiene services.

"Where else can you use a restroom and simultaneously pretend you are a pharaoh amongst the pyramids, Caesar surrounded by Rome's classical architecture, the pontiff or a CEO?" said Ruth Kohler, the center's director.

Nine finalists were chosen based on originality, unique style or theme, exceptional hygiene maintenance and free access to the public.

The second place winner was Art Chicks Restaurant in Louisville, Neb., chosen for its '50s theme and third place went to bathroom manufacturer Wall USA of Boston for its high-tech, self-cleaning port-a-potty.

Rounding out the top five were Olivia's Circle fitness center in Albany, N.Y. and a Waffle House in Lawrence, Mich.
