25. Nhow Berlin

Where: Germany
Address: Stralauer Allee 3
Website: nhow-hotels.com/berlin
Sexiest feature: The recording studio

Want to live out all your rock star/groupie fantasies? Nhow Berlin caters to that in extravagant form. The hotel calls itself Europe's first music hotel and is probably modeled after hotels like the Hard Rock, but instead of being littered with rock paraphernalia it's decorated in a modern, dynamic style as fluid and graphic as an iPod ad. Fittingly, iPod docs are included in every vibrantly-appointed room and there is a music manager on staff for all your sonic needs. Which at Nhow Berlin is a lot. The hotel regularly houses famous musicians on tour, but it also has two high-end recording studios where names like Erykah Badu and Jessie J have worked. For songwriters, you can order a keyboard or a guitar from the super solicitous room service in case you feel inspired. The hotel claims to be located between MTV and Universal, making it a great place for music professionals, but also for kinky weirdoes that like to pretend their music's hottest new sex symbol or get off on pretending their an up-and-coming rock star to clueless locals.

24. Sala Silvermine

Where: Sweden
Address: Drottning Christinas väg 4
Website: salasilvergruva.se
Sexiest feature: The mine

Whistle while you work it in the bedroom. The story of Snow White and her seven dwarfs always struck us as kinky when we were kids and now you can re-enact any mine action that raven-haired princess-in-disguise was getting by Dopey, Bashful, or Doc. The Sala Silvermine suite is cold and damp, but bedecked in the same dazzling metallic one would find if they were hammering away at walls instead of their wife. The mine used to produce about three tons of silver every year, all by hand, and that manual labor is reflected in the cool cavernous walls that can only be accessed by a mine lift shaft. Another fun role playing game you can play in the completely sunless cave? Vampires. Although, now that we think of it, Snow White has the same general look of most storybook vampires and she awoke from the dead with a kiss. Something to think about.

23. Katikies Hotel

Where: Greece
Address: Konstantinou Paleologou Ia 2
Website: katikies.com
Sexiest feature: The immaculateness

Imagine being surrounded by crystalline waters of the purest azure blue and flawless white open architecture, expanding into the horizon like low-laying clouds. The villas at Katikies, seven sacred suites, conjure up fantasies about where the Greek gods might have dwelled and dreamed in their Olympus digs. Sitting sweetly on the cliffs of Oia on Santorini Island, Katikies was designed to mimic Cycladic architecture, but we imagine Zeus perving out on humans below as he watched them from his heavenly perch. The immaculateness of the environment and the design makes it a tantalizing place to consecrate with all your profane ideas. The Greek gods weren't saints and with dazzling demonstrations of celestial beauty brought to earth like Katikies, we mere mortals can see why.

Some of the hottest babes are the ice queens. With their steely eyes and flawless porcelain faces, they entrap with sharp, icy dagger right through men's hearts. If you've managed to warm the lion (and heart) of one of these cold-blooded women, take her to the Hotel de Glace in Duchesnay outside of Quebec City in Canada. The 36-room hotel is made completely of snow and ice and always kept at -5 degrees Celsius. Each room is unique and may feature art such as polar bears, mermaids, and Grecian columns all carved from snow and ice. Before you get steamy in the bedroom, you fuel the fire inside of you with shots in glasses made completely of ice and, if you're sneaky, you can drunkenly sex it up while sliding down the ice slide in what is purported to be the world's biggest igloo.

21. The Boulders

Where: USA

Sexy sporty couples who stay at the five bedroom Villa Retreat can spend their days basking in the Sonoran Desert sun and chipping away at golf ball while they spend their nights boinking in their private infinity edge pool under the desert stars. It's almost a guarantee that by the end of the trip multiple balls will be handled.

The lavish lobby is ensconced in an Art Deco white-stone building circa 1928 that has suites that almost touch the tops of the Eiffel Tower. The rich wood paneling and quintessentially French décor are highlight by fresh flowers that invite travel tired bodies in with their relaxing aroma, but according to international reviewers the best thing about Hotel George V is the sublime service. French people might be all about amour, but they also have a reputation for being mean to Americans. Apparently, this isn't the case here. You are greeted with welcome vibes and baller rooms with impeccable attention to detail. According to one Yelp review, a guest had left her book open on the bed and a maid came in and put a Four Seasons bookmark in the book while she was gone. Talk about being spoiled.

Situated near the Arctic Circle, Kakslauttanen Igloo Village offers front row seats to the edge of the galaxy in glass igloos outfitted with thermal walls that protect against the -22 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures and a signaling bell for when the Northern Lights chose to dance across the cold and clear star-emblazoned winter sky.

The Ubud Hanging Gardens Hotel in Bali don't have chains and eunuchs to keep your woman happy, but they are naturally lavish, a double-tiered infinity pool dripping seamlessly into the sultry haze of volcanoes and the jade-hued leaves of the rice terraces.

Where: Spain
Address: Av de América, 41
Website: hoteles-silken.com/hoteles/puerta-america-madrid

When things are getting a little boring in the bedroom, the solution is oftentimes to mix it up. The Hotel Silken Puerta America does that with electrifying creative energy. The architectural and artistic feats at the Hotel Silken Puerta America in Madrid are not only striking, but stimulating. Each floor of the hotel is designed by different artists to create a unique experience on each level that "invites people to dream." The hotel vacillates from bright colors and tropical textures on one floor, to minimalist all-white, to an eclectic glam that is showcased on the modern exterior. If you were to stay in a different room every night, you could also have a totally different sexual experience every night but stay in the same hotel you had the first one. It's trippy, but that seems like the concept that Hotel Silken Puerta America is trying to successfully accomplish.

15. Palms Resort

Where: USA
Address: 4321 W Flamingo Rd.
Website: palms.com
Sexiest feature: The price tag

Sin City a/k/a Las Vegas is a district of the world known most for its denizens living in a depressive decadence. They're either stripping-and-sipping to make a dime to stop being just a dime or harboring addictions to gambling, sex, alcohol, drugs, or all of the above. But ballers with buckets of champagne and cash to burn have called many a penthouse suite home during the last six decades and the Palms Resort has garnered a reputation for reminding us that over-the-top luxury can be fun in really expensive moderation. While the Palms Resort boasts a bunch of pricey suites, the most extreme is their Hugh Hefner Sky Villa. The 9,000-square-foot party pad is two floors of debauchery with a mock grotto and indoor waterfall like the Playboy Mansion, a massage room, rooms for just about everything else, and a bunny stamped across the giant pool. Actually Bunnies are not included, but if you're shelling out $40,000 a night to stay in the iconic suite, you probably won't have any trouble convincing a few of them to enjoy the breathtaking view with you. Breakfast not included.

14. The Peninsula Hotel

Where: USA
Address: 108 E Superior St.
Website: peninsula.com/Chicago
Sexiest feature: The Spa

Big city businesspeople oftentimes don't have time to jet off to some exotic locale and have miniature monkeys nibble a lifetime worth of stress off their toes, but The Peninsula Chicago Spa offers an urban retreat so tranquilizing that a Zagat Survey of Top US Hotels, Resorts, and Spas named the sublime poolside refuge as the top in the country. A large cerulean pool is flanked by floor-to-ceiling wood-framed glass windows that overlook the city, mimicking the industrial architecture. The hotel itself is the sophisticated glam you'd expect from Chicago, but the spa is a lot more serene. It offers pricey massages of all kinds including aromatherapy, flavored spa waters, and pretty much every other spa service. After spending a day getting rubbed down by some first-class fingers and lounging by that pool, who wouldn't want to melt away together in some Egyptian cotton sheets?

Make your own history and leave your love vibes in one of the 214 rooms for years to come.

Elephants are loyal and loving creatures that supposedly symbolize strength, honor, and patience.

Where: Jamaica
Address144 One Love Drive
Website: islandoutpost.com/hotels-and-villas/the-caves
Sexiest feature: The caves

Carved into the limestone cliff of Negril on Jamaica's west coast, The Caves are private Vila cottages over a maze of sea caves. Steps from your cottage lead to these cavernous holes, beckoning you to jump in feet first. Cartoons and common legend report that cavemen dragged their lovers by the hair into their lairs. This sort of foreplay isn't recommended unless you are both into that sort of thing and have an appropriate safe word. However, at The Caves Resort in Jamaica, it's safe to say that you'll get inspired to go primitive.

10. Emirates Palace

Where: United Arab Emirates

Website: kempinski.com/en/abudhabi/emirates-palace/welcome

In includes a private beach, acres of gardens, and lavish suites resplendent with gold and marble. There is a magically-decorated spa that looks like you've crawled into a more sophisticated version of a harem holding room, two giant temperature controlled pools, and of course, camel rides.

9. Poseidon Undersea Resort

Where: Fiji
Address: Undisclosed Location
Website: poseidonresorts.com
Sexiest feature: The possibility

Something's a little fishy about the Poseidon Undersea Resort. To be fair, this hotel doesn't completely exist yet. It was in the process of being built and even has a website and Wikipedia page, but apparently ran into some location issues kept it from opening in 2008. 150,000 people have already "registered to make reservations" for the undersea resort that was once situated near a private island in Fiji. Pictures show lavish aquatic-themed rooms that are like sleeping in a giant aquarium. Fishes and sharks all pressing against the glass to what you cozy up to your mermaid girl. 70 percent of the Poseidon Undersea Resort is made up of acrylic glass, which basically means you are relaxing in a giant fish bowl. If the project happens, couples will have to spend $30,000 for two nights underwater which includes four nights on land and a chartered plane flight to the very private location. So far, no underwater hotel of such magnitude exists, but thinking about the possibility of sticking your triton in something Poseidon style is pretty titillating.

Where: USA
Address: 1 Kayenta Rd.
Website: amanresorts.com/amangiri
Sexiest feature: The exclusivity


Come to the land where polygamy isn't completely shunned with a pocket full of green and some sort of VIP status, because the Amangiri Resort in Canyon Point, Utah is almost impossible to book. The 600-acre "peaceful mountain" hideaway in the middle of nowhere has 34 suites surrounded by extreme security and the barren beauty of camel-colored sands. Hot tubs sparkle across the bone-dry landscape like glittery mirages, encased by natural rocks jutting out of the horizon for privacy. In fact, everything at Amangiri is so private; you could probably go for days making love amongst the rattlesnake bones with nothing but the winds as your sexing soundtrack.


5. Seven Hotel

Where: France
Address: 20 Rue Berthollet, Paris
Website: sevenhotelparis.com
Sexiest feature: The James Bond Suite

Included are a golden toilet for your classy behind, a giant shower stall that would fit all the Bond girls at once, and an endless mirror for you to pose and point your big gun in.

4. Earthship Biotecture

Where: USA
Address: 2 Earthship Way, Tres Piedras
Website: earthship.com
Sexiest feature: Being "green"

Hippies roll their eyes at pricey excess or grotesque displays of monetary grandeur that could have been used to help starving or suffering children in third world countries. But hippies need vacations too, which is why renting a funky, fully-sustainable home courtesy of the environmentally-conscientious geo-geeks Earthship Biotecture in the arid expanses of New Mexico is where it's at. While all the homes have Wi-Fi, which is almost as necessary as breathing these days, they are meant to encourage an off-grid lifestyle. All of them have growing food you can partake in and a design that makes them blend seamlessly into the environment around them. The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Phoenix home even has a jungle greenhouse, fish pond, and birds so that you can feel fully connected to the earth while spreading your seed.

3. Grotta Palazzese Hotel

Where: Italy
Address: Via Narciso, 59, 70044 Polignano A Mare Province of Bari
Website: grottapalazzese.it
Sexiest feature: The yonic restaurant

Symbolism is an intoxicating aphrodisiac that only the woozy luxury of fine wine and hand-crafted carbs in an Italian cave surrounded by the mermaid-finned green of the Adriatic can surpass. Grotta Palazzese is a dutiful 4-star hotel, but the bedroom action isn't as appealing as making love in the sand hidden under the rocky edges of a cave carved out by the most fecund of feminine entities: Mama Earth. Looking over the precipice of the grotto into the abyss is a root chakra satisfying yonic experience. The olive oil soaked friselle won't be the only thing dripping with a tasty natural lubricant and, if you're lucky, will only be an appetizer for the main course later.

2. Attrap'Rêves

Where: France
Address: 13190 Allauch
Website: attrap-reves.com
Sexiest feature: The voyeurism

For the pervs, voyeurs, and wilderness freaks, there is Attrap'Rêves. The clear plastic bubble hotel rooms mimic an igloo amongst the French forests, but are less about keeping warm and more about appealing to the eco-friendly, yet artistic European yupsters. Designer Pierre Stephane created the pods to serve as a simple translucent shield against the elements that also let visitors connect with nature. While Attrap'Rêves offers frosted bubbles if you need more privacy, what's the fun in that? Part of the erotic appeal of boning in a bubble under the stars is the kinky delight that anyone can see you.

1. Crazy Bear Hotel

Where: United Kingdom
Address: 75 Wycombe End, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire
Website: crazybeargroup.co.uk
Sexiest feature: End of bed bathtubs

"Gold all in my chain. Gold all in my ring. All gold everything." If Liberace and Trinidad James designed a hotel together, the over-the-top opulence of such a fantastical creation couldn't rival the gaudy grandeur of the Crazy Bear Hotel. Chandeliers trill with prismatic crystals, 24-carat gold leaf ensconces the staircase, and tactile surfaces of velvet, fur, and leather provide about as much sensory deprivation as a Parisian bordello. Beds in each room are flagrantly ostentatious; solid gilded masterpieces built to look like history has been made under the silky sheets and each mattress spring is all the better for it. Some rooms have giant sunken tubs at the end of the bed, so you can just roll from the puddle of your love juices into an erotic bubble bath made for two, or maybe more if you're ambitious.
