The world's best hotels for an affair
Ah, the hotel, that most essential of components when you're having an illicit love affair.It used to be that cheaters headed to the so-called No Tell Motel, some seedy establishment tucked away down an alley or on some remote road, to do their discreet deeds.
But politicians and other power figures with means usually choose upscale hotels for their affairs.
Concierge.com gives a nod to this fact with its list of the world's 12 best hotels in which to conduct an affair. Of course, the list is somewhat arbitrary, but the criteria are consistent across the board: luxury, big beds and discretion (who's going to catch you in Sardinia, after all?)
Now, Gadling of course does not endorse infidelity. But hey, if you're going to do it, Concierge at least thinks you should do it in style. And who knows, maybe you've stayed at one or more of these for other reasons...

I'm not really that sure why Paris is top of the list. Being half French I can only say that it's overpriced and most of the hotels I've stayed in are a little grimey and not very romantic!
I like the idea of King-size bunk beds!

Like the average person could afford any of these hotels during today's economy. Is the world that lacking in news that this should be considered as a viable story?

Like anyone could afford any of these establishments in today's economy. Are we so devoid of real news that this piece of trash rates as news?

Why would AOL print such a headline ? So they can gossip about so called celebrities having affaires ? I for one am tired about stories of such unworthy characters .

I think you forget the best for privacy, confidentiality and employees who wouldn't dare breath a word of what they see. Plus, it's also a gorgeous property. It's The Savoy on the Strand in London. I've stayed there a few times. I don't drink and like flowers and lots of ice (we know the British are stingy with the ice). When I check in, the mini-bar has all the booze removed, each room of the suite has fresh flowers and there are 2-3 buckets full of ice. The "Comings & Goings" throughout the night are never mentioned, and because of the short Lane to the front entrance, the Pap are easily kept away.

I think you forgot one of the best places to have a rendevouz. The Savoy on the Strand in London. Privacy is a premium here with no questions asked. The staff is well trained to never utter a word of what they may have seen. Plus it's a beautiful property. I have stayed there a few times and they are on top of the game. I don't drink, I like flowers and, knowing how stingy the British are with ice, I like alot. When I check-in, the mini-bar has all the booze removed, there are fresh flowers in every rom of the suite and 2-3 buckets of ice. Also, because of the short lane to the entrance, it's very easy to keep the Pap away. It's like the saying about Vegas "What goes on at the Savoy, stays at the Savoy".
