The world’s best hotels for an affair

Ah, the hotel, that most essential of components when you’re having an illicit love affair.

It used to be that cheaters headed to the so-called No Tell Motel, some seedy establishment tucked away down an alley or on some remote road, to do their discreet deeds.

But politicians and other power figures with means usually choose upscale hotels for their affairs.

Concierge.com gives a nod to this fact with its list of the world’s 12 best hotels in which to conduct an affair. Of course, the list is somewhat arbitrary, but the criteria are consistent across the board: luxury, big beds and discretion (who’s going to catch you in Sardinia, after all?)

Now, Gadling of course does not endorse infidelity. But hey, if you’re going to do it, Concierge at least thinks you should do it in style. And who knows, maybe you’ve stayed at one or more of these for other reasons…
