All You Need to Know About Love Hotels
A delightful, mysterious world of locked doors and undisturbed anonymity lies at your fingertips. The Love Hotels of the past have been gaining renewed interest in recent years, and the concept is steadily adopted in more and more countries worldwide.
Originating from Japan, where high housing prices prevent young couples from moving out independently and spending time together in secret, this concept is gaining popularity worldwide. Why? Well, for those same reasons and more...
Housing shortage much?
With housing prices still on the rise pretty much around the globe, many young lovers have no choice but to keep living with their parents. You can only imagine how much they wish for and love some adult time alone. Not only to be intimate, but just to enjoy some privacy and time away from others, together. Of course, love hotels are, per definition, great places for all kinds of couples, including erotic daters, lifestylers, hotwives, swingers, and kinksters.
What exactly are Love Hotels?
Love Hotels are usually small-scale hotels where couples can spend some quality time together, away from the public eye. In Japan, most of these hotels, known as rabuho, offer rooms that provide basically every convenience you can think of — from condoms and kitchenettes to PlayStations.
In recent years, the concept has taken a more luxurious approach all over Mexico — especially in Mexico City, where there are many so-called Hotel de Pasos where those in need can find the privacy and discretion they need. Nowadays, you can find love hotels that offer bubble baths, dance poles, sex furniture, and sometimes a selection of kinky toys as well. Many Love Hotels offer themed rooms where anyone can live out their fantasies and desires.
Why are Love Hotels growing in popularity?
Just like in the swinging lifestyle, women are the driving force behind the increasing popularity of Love Hotels and the growing need for a more tasteful, luxury setting. Women are increasingly aware of and comfortable with their sexual selves and enjoy a more tasteful and upscale locale. With a more liberal attitude toward sexuality, established erotic rental venues provide a niche for lovers and others who prefer to spend their sexy time together away from their homes.
Not only that — love hotels and motels alike have ditched most of their somewhat seedy image across the globe. This is due either to restrictive laws or the need for more luxury elements. So, many have been upping their offerings and are opening up to those visitors looking for just a romantic stay, and they now attract regular tourists on a budget as well.
Another reason why they are growing in popularity is that the level of discretion is usually high. Reservations are typically executed exclusively online, and an anonymous, contactless entry is often part of the check-in process.
Where can you find Love Hotels?
You can find these short-to-overnight-stay hotels pretty much all over the world. Japan, of course, and Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and India are well-known for them. In other countries, they may not be as in plain view as, perhaps, in Asian countries. They are not all referred to as "Love Hotels," either.
Depending on where you are looking, you should check for names like auto hoteles (Guatemala), hotels parejero, cabañas, casas de occasion, albergue transitorio (Dominican Republic), telos (Argentina and Uruguay), short-time (Nigeria), motels (Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Puerto Rico), romance hotel, fashion hotel, boutique hotel, no-tell motels (USA and Canada). Usually, these places are more affordable than regular hotels, and you can find them at convenient locations, especially around train stations, airports, and, of course, in big cities.
