Valentines day may be only a few days away but help is at hand for clueless couples... love hotels.
An integral part of Japanese culture, love hotels are growing in popularity in other parts of the world too. They are the ultimate places for prolonged (and non) romantic encounters, and are delightfully naughty.
Jacuzzis, round beds, large mirrors, romantic and erotic interiors, everything a couple in love or in need of something new could wish for!
Travel website HolidayCheck has researched the express hotels, where taboos are forgotten and lovers can finally share intimate moments of pure passion.
Italy: Lovers take their time here. Motel K, just a 20 minute drive from Milan, doesn't charge per hour, but for every 10 hours. The themed suites are sophisticated, with marble bathrooms and a fine decor.
The Wellness suites are fully equipped with a sauna, jacuzzi or a swimming pool. The Fantasuites are 150m squared rooms which recreate countries such as Thailand or Antigua. They have areas to relax and for chromotherapy. Other themed suites are 'Santorini', 'Amazzonia' and 'Manhattan'.
Spain: Express hotels are also booming in Madrid and Barcelona. You will find discretion and privacy, with covered parking places and direct access to the room. Two good examples are Motelpuntcatorce and Zouk Hotel.
The first is located in Gava, five minutes from Barcelona. The rooms are minimalist and modern. Inside guests will find an erotic menu, with choices ranging from sexy lingerie to a set of edible chocolate body paint.
The second is half an hour from Madrid. Its logo is a tempting bitten red apple. Both check in and check-out are computerised, so you will avoid meeting the reception staff and having them ask you if you enjoyed your stay.
Vienna: Who would have guessed that rigorous Vienna has a naughty side too? Though perfectly restored, the interiors of the Hotel Orient have been largely preserved, thus maintaining its fin de siècle style.
This is the place for lovers who want to experience a return to the period of the Belle Epoque, made of opulence and decadence.
Venezuela: The Caracas Panamerican Highway is also known as the 'Road of Love' and the reason is simple: there are 7 motels where couples can indulge in passion and escape from routine.
The Bosque Dorado Hotel, Hotel Las Vegas, Motel Orquidea, Panorama Motel, Hotel Canaima, Hotel Colonial and Hotel La Chaumiere offer by-the-hour rooms, and you won't even have to get out of the car to collect your keys. They have evocative names such as 'Elixir de Amour' and 'Extasis'.
