Love Ya, Babe!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day. DIN Interiorism has announced plans to refurbish what had been known as hoteles de paso into what it will call hoteles de amor, that is to say, love hotels. Although managers of more plush establishments long ago declared that they no longer were supervising morals and suggested a weekend in Cancun was more romantic than a box of candy, less posh places still offered enclosed garages — to shield couples from prying eyes — for rooms rented by the hour, attitudes have changed in the 21st Century. Love hotels will feature toys for adults, games and swimming pools with waterfalls. At the outset, some 35 inns with a total of more than 2,000 rooms are planned. All will be remodeled hot pillow joints.
