There’s just something sexy about a hotel getaway with your
main man or woman. Is it the luxury? The sense of relaxation you can only get
far away from the mail and the mortgage? Is it (Mom, stop reading) the steamy
hotel sex? I’m guessing it’s all of the above — emphasis on the latter. So how
do you bring that delicious abandon home with you after checkout? According to
Steve Pinetti, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Kimpton Hotels
& Restaurants, you can take it with you. The
oh-so-plush Kimpton Bed is available for purchase at
www.kimptonstyle.com. These babies are made exclusively for Kimpton with an
extra deep, super soft pillow-top surface and layer upon layer of foam and fabric.
Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome can even go for the tall boy option — at an extra
sixteen inches long (insert dirty wisecrack here), it requires some additional
lead time because it’s made to order. Although the bed launched a few years
back, we couldn’t help but revisit the topic now: a recent staycation to
Kimpton’s luxe Nine Zero Hotel (90 Tremont Street, Boston,
617.772.5800) served as a much-needed reminder. The price for one of these
dreamy beds ranges from $1150 to $2595 — it certainly isn’t recession-chic, but
it sure does beat your repurposed dorm room futon. And if our hotel sex
hypothesis does pan out, it may be worth every penny.
