Cove Pocono Resorts
This romantic resort in the Poconos has been known since the ’70s for its massive champagne glass tubs and heart-shaped tubs, a concept the resort claims to have originated. Along with a 7-foot-tall whirlpool champagne flute to bathe in, the Champagne Tower suite comes complete with a glass-enclosed, heart-shaped heated pool, a dry sauna and a round King bed with a starry night sky above.

Madonna Inn
The Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, California, is the OG of romance-themed love hotels. With 110 individually themed rooms, there’s no role play fantasy that can’t go down at the Madonna.

Their pink shag-infused Love Nest suit is a close second, with a winding staircase that takes you to a private viewing tower.
Greenwood Fanta Suites
You can probably tell from their website that it isn’t the trendiest or most modern hotel — these guys are all about that old-school motel swag, with essentials like a heart-shaped bed complete with radio, speakers and mirrors. The Cupid’s Corner suit is a must-book, and it contains a pretty epic jacuzzi as well. Lastly, the NSFW detail that brought us over the edge is the mirrored ceiling. The other Fanta Suits include the Pink Cadillac room, which features a full-sized vintage pink Caddy, and the Alien Invasion, complete with a flying saucer bed. If anything, it’s a chance to cross a genuinely unique experience off your bucket list in Greenwood, Indiana.
