#MyCarnet: Naughty, Sexy, Kinky Paris

Hot Hotels

Maison Souquet
A pleasure house during the Belle Époque, the hotel has recaptured the opulence and sensuality of the era. Think red velvet, a private swimming pool and a secret garden. The sexiest hotel in Paris right now. (Order the Belle Otero at the plush bar-library.)
10, rue de Bruxelles, 75009

Les Bains
Recently reopened, this legendary (and notoriously difficult-to-get-into) nightclub is now a trendy 5-star hotel. A stay there ensures a spot at their see-and-be-seen restaurant, bar and club. For Valentine’s, they’re offering a special package that includes dinner, champagne, flowers, a love box and a very late checkout of 16h.
7, rue du Bourg l’Abbé, 75003

Hotel Banke
The sumptuous 5-star hotel near Opéra is lavishly Neo-Baroque with an extensive ethnic art collection on display. Try the Stay & Pleasure package which includes champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and a Lily Blossom Intimate Pleasure box.
20, rue la Fayette, 75009

The One by the Five
A six-room private suite hotel designed for lovers and “the exploration of the five senses.” They have floating beds and a Love Elixir.

Naughty Paris on Libertine Etiquette

1. The secret to a positive experience is a relaxed attitude and a sense of humor. Sexuality is encouraged but never required.
2. Some couples go to have fun with each other, not to mix with others.
3. A soft caress on the arm usually constitutes a pass. Caress back, or politely shake your head non.
4. After mingling at the bar or lounge, couples head to the back where they find dark rooms for two—or more. If at any time you’re uncomfortable, you can always excuse yourself and return to the bar or dance floor where sexual escapades are discouraged.
