Whether its to kickstart a relationship, revive a relationship, or simply maintain a relationship, couples (of all ages.. and degrees of commitment) will often plan a romantic getaway -- or two or three -- at some point throughout their courtship.
While relaxing on a beach somewhere may be all some couples need to reconnect, others look for a little something extra to spice up their vacation. That's where these nine naughty hotels come in. From Paris to Vegas, from the Riviera Maya to Long Island City (yes, we said it -- and we're being serious), these nine hotels have their own special way of creating an unforgettable getaway for couples who aren't afraid of a little nudity -- and welcome a little naughtiness.
The Erotic Suite: The Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas
Vegas isn't called "Sin City" for nothing; couples escape to this town of debauchery to party, let loose, and make use of the whole "What happens in Vegas..." mantra. Soon, the tagline may become "What happens in the Erotic Suite at The Palms." One of the wildest hotels in Vegas, even with its off-the-Strip location, this hotel features a plethora of themed luxury suites, and the Erotic Suite is certainly the naughtiest. Kinky couple-friendly amenities include everything from a "show shower" with a stripper pole and nightclub-esque lighting, to a rotating bed underneath a mirrored ceiling. There's also plenty of erotic artwork to spare.
The Love Hotel Design: Hotel Amour, Paris
Wait. In the bottom left corner, is that..? Yes, yes it is. In fact, Hotel Amour is replete with phallic and nude-y paraphernalia. The hotel's design was inspired by the Japanese model of love hotels, and the owners have invested a tidy sum of money in developing the concept; for example, they hired the services of well-known fashion designer Chantal Thomass to design certain rooms, like the one shown above, that are sure to get guests in the mood for, well, "amour." Appropriately situated in the heart of the Pigalle quarter, which is known among tourists for its sex shops and adult theaters, the hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the infamous Moulin Rouge.
The Swinger-Friendly Policy: Desire Pearl Resort & Spa, Riviera Maya
The Desire Pearl is a couples-only all-inclusive resort that caters to those looking for a party scene; and all areas of the resort are completely clothing-optional. While couples can remain tete-a-tete on the white-sand beach or in the spacious rooms, most opt to join others at the pool's swim-up bar or in the sexy nightclub, complete with swings, stripper poles, and a "sin room." The resort also has nightly parties with themes such as "burlesque night" and "mysterious masquerade." One thing you won't have to worry about? What to wear!
The Bedside Reading: Night Theater District
The Night Theater District may be just a few blocks from Times Square, but couples can still get plenty of shuteye -- or at least private bedroom time, wink wink -- thanks to heavy blackout drapes that are in keeping with the hotel's "night" theme. Other sexy amenities include under-lit beds topped with luxe Frette linens, and a sleek black-and-white color scheme. But the naughtiest feature is hidden in the nightstand: Opening the drawer, guests with find Kama Sutra books for some inspirational bedtime reading.
The Pleasure Menu: The Drake Hotel, Toronto
Complete with a popular club-meets-music-venue, The Drake Hotel attracts a young, hip crowd. Rooms may be small, but they're sleek and stylish, with glassed-in showers that look out at the bedrooms and cool artwork on the exposed-brick walls. Mood-inducing pleasure menus also come standard; guests can "order in" their pick of flavored condoms, sex toys, and, er, props. Oh, and you can also actually order food such as chocolate truffles and oysters -- both of which being known aphrodisiacs.
The Naughty or Nice Package: Z Hotel, New York City
The Z is a hip boutique in Long Island City, Queens, and its reasonable rates alone will get guests in the mood for some hanky panky. But the Z doesn't stop there. The hotel offers "naughty" and "nice" packages. While both offerings include a one-night's stay, "nice" packages feature champagne and roses, in-room massages, and breakfast in bed. An intimacy kit (with edible underwear, handcuffs, a tickle feather, and blindfolds), a book of erotic games, and chocolate strawberries and champagne come with the "naughty" package. We have a feeling which you're going to choose...
The (Super) Exposed Bathroom: The Standard High Line, New York City
The Standard is sexy to begin with: This Meatpacking hot spot features a popular gourmet restaurant, an outdoor biergarten that is bustling come spring, and an exclusive rooftop nightclub. But the hotel shows it's naughty side in it's massive, immaculate rooms. With a sleek design, rooms feature plush bedding, comfy robes, minibars stocked with gourmet snacks and top-shelf liquor, and -- the most flasher-friendly feature -- floor-to-ceiling windows (even in some of the bathrooms) that look out over the Hudson River and surrounding neighborhood. These windows are notorious for showcasing some nudie activities, startling many locals and tourists ambling along the High Line below.
The Love Room: Library Hotel, New York City
A homey, literary-themed boutique -- located down the block from the city's famous Public Library -- the Library Hotel is a romantic pick. And it offers a solid value, too, with freebies like breakfast, Wi-Fi, and afternoon wine and cheese. The afternoon treats are the perfect way to cap off a day of sight-seeing and head back to your room, which is particularly enticing if you're staying in the Love Room. This room is the only one with a terrace, which overlooks Madison Avenue, and the erotica book collection, which decorates the space, was curated by Dr. Ruth.
The Topless Party Haven: Temptation Cancun Resort
This 21-plus resort in Cancun's Hotel Zone is the life of the party -- and tops are very optional. It recently underwent a major renovation that brings a sexy elegance to the hotel, but it still retains its party-hard mentality. There are dozens of provocative events to bring together couples and singles alike, from Temptation Idol karaoke to risqué shows at night.
The Champagne Glass-Shaped Hot Tub Experience: Cove Haven Resort
Back in the day, the Poconos were all the rage when it came to steamy getaways. The couples-only Cove Haven resort nods to these gaudier days with heart-shaped whirlpool tubs, mirrors on the ceilings to see all the best angles, and romance-themed fantasy decor but the "pièce de résistance" is the room with a Champagne glass-shaped whirlpool.
