1. IL SALVIATINO - Florence, Italy
Standing amid lush gardens perched on the hills of Fiesole
above Florence, this 15th-century villa has all the ravishing
good looks and debonair charms of a Merchant Ivory hero.
Sweeping candlelit staircases, comely button-back sofas and
cherub-sweetened frescoes soften an architectural grandeur that
recalls the severely sexy set of “Eyes Wide Shut.”
The Ojetti Suite has to be the ultimate room with a view: its
dramatic glass-floored sun room hovers above the massive
main stairwell. Even if you only have eyes for each other, you
won’t be able to resist peeking at the stunning vistas of the
Florence skyline from the jacuzzi on your private terrace. Thrill-
seekers may prefer the Salviati Suite, which gives you the use of
a Ferrari sportscar for the day.
2. THE STANDARD, New York, US
The latest addition to super-hotelier Andre Balazs’ stable is
developing something of a reputation as the sexiest stopo-
ver Stateside. This gloriously glassy high-rise lords it over the
Meatpacking District, with witty minimalist interiors and gob-
smacking views.
Standard Suites steal the top prize for over-the-top glamour,
with floor-to-ceiling glass walls on three sides. Make the most
of the spectacular sunsets from the free-standing bathtubs with a
glass of champagne, but bear in mind that daring dashes from
bath to bed may be visible by stollers in the High Line park.
3. SAL SALIS NINGALOO REEF, Australia
If you’re a die-hard lounge-lover with an aversion to synthetic
fibers, the thought of camping will be as arousing to you as
cold showers, torn tent flaps and tinned baked beans. Allow us
to disabuse you of your preconceptions: fringed by coruscating
coral and lapped by warm Indian Ocean waves, beachside
bush camp Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef offers get-back-to-nature
charm in intimate under-canvas enclaves. Tent 5 is a ‘suite’ with
an extended deck and living area.
