Founded in 2009 by Thea Wright, Koibito stands for ‘lover’ in Japanese – the art of making a special time and place for another. Whilst living and modeling in Japan, Thea was entranced by the worlds of ochaya (tea house) tradition and kitsch ‘love hotels; she wanted to capture and translate the charm of Japanese love philosophy for the European market. After establishing Ibiza’s original luxury sex shop The Bedroom, she began to design a range of love boxes to satisfy the extremes of taste and experience, all the time driven by her knowledge of the industry and love of exquisite, provocative products. It’s about coaxing couples from their shells, helping to create their perfect wild night in the secret comfort of the hotel bedroom. This venue is one of the locations for BDSM events call for further information.

The self-proclaimed "most rock'n'roll hotel in England" certainly gives itself a lot to live up to, but Hotel Pelirocco in Brighton manages to deliver. Far from a sleepy seaside hotel, this punk-inspired palace has 19 rooms each with a different theme, some of which certainly verge on the X-rated side. The Kraken's Lair Suite includes a mirror above the bed and a stripper pole, while the Ophelia Fancy Room dials up the raunch with a lingerie theme.
