For a cheeky Christmas couples break, the Bryant Park Hotel in New York is hard to beat. It’s a boutique hotel, in other words, cutting-edge design. A black and gold art deco façade gives way to bordello red leather walls, red lacquer counters and the lift music is muted techno.
The rooms have a menu for room service but also for sex toys. If you can make it out of the bedroom, the hotel borders Bryant Park where there’s a free ice-skating rink, giant Christmas tree and a huge Christmas market. Two nights over Christmas costs about €450 with www.booking.com or try direct on www.bryantparkhotel.com, call +1 877 640 9300.
