A love hotel (ラブホテル rabu hoteru) is a type of short-stay hotel found in East Asian countries and regions such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, operated primarily for the purpose of allowing couples privacy to have sexual intercourse. The same concept exists in Central America, particularly in Guatemala, where they are called autohotels. blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com
Love hotels usually offer a room rate for a "rest", or kyūkei (休憩) in Japanese, as well as for an overnight stay. The period of a "rest" varies, typically ranging from one to three hours. Cheaper daytime off-peak rates are common. In general, reservations are not possible, leaving the hotel will forfeit access to the room, and overnight stay rates only become available after 10pm. They may also be used for prostitution or by budget-travelers sharing accommodation.
Entrances are discreet and interaction with staff is minimized, with rooms often selected from a panel of buttons and the bill settled by pneumatic tube, automatic cash machines, or a pair of hands behind a pane of frosted glass. While cheaper hotels are utilitarian, higher-end hotels may feature fanciful rooms decorated with anime characters, equipped with rotating beds, ceiling mirrors, karaoke machines, strange lighting or styled similarly to dungeons, sometimes including S&M gear. blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com
These hotels are typically either concentrated in certain city districts such as Dōgenzaka (道玄坂) in Shibuya, Tokyo, near highways on the city outskirts, or in industrial districts. Few Japanese people wish to have a love hotel in their neighbourhood, and construction in residential areas is often opposed.
Love hotel architecture is sometimes garish, with buildings shaped like castles, boats or UFOs and lit with lurid pink and purple neon lighting. However, many love hotels are very ordinary looking buildings, distinguished mainly by having small or covered windows.
