Suite Surrender: Bucket List Suites I’m Dying to Make Love In

Spectacular, iconic, irresistible. When it comes to my ultimate bucket list, these suites are more than just beautiful: they’re made for unforgettable nights (and mornings) of unbridled passion. From breathless views to decadent interiors, here are the seductive spaces that keep me dreaming…

AMAN NEW YORK: THE AMAN SUITES

If ever there was a sanctuary begging for a slow seduction, it’s Aman New York. Nestled in the Beaux-Arts Crown Building, these Aman Suites perch above Manhattan’s frenzied pulse - think of them as our private sky-high nest, worlds away from city noise. Picture: a functioning fireplace flickering gentle shadows across minimal-chic sofas, curated art to admire during decadent interludes, and windows offering Fifth Avenue’s lights as a voyeur. The real secret? We’re only steps away from the spa, for a massage to tease and tempt before slipping between those silky sheets.

THE RITZ PARIS: SUITE COCO CHANEL

Is there anything more decadent than making love in Coco Chanel’s old Parisian pied-à-terre? The Suite Coco Chanel at The Ritz Paris is all mirrored glamour, monochrome elegance, and sheer, flirt-inspiring opulence. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook Place Vendôme: the ultimate stage for a slow, teasing striptease as Paris sparkles below. There’s even a private wine cellar for midnight toasts, and that enormous dressing room… perfect for playing dress-up, or undress-me.

ROSEWOOD SÃO PAULO: THE PENTHOUSE SUITE

High above São Paulo, the Rosewood’s Penthouse Suite is like an unexplored fantasy, complete with a rooftop garden and infinity pool just begging for moonlit skinny dips. Imagine slips, laughs, and late-night explorations among modern art and soft designer sofas. Take me by the hand and ascend via private elevator: heaven is just a floor away. We might never make it out of the suite.

VENICE SIMPLON-ORIENT-EXPRESS: L’OBSERVATOIRE SUITE

All aboard for desire. The Art Deco glamour of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the stuff of classic love affairs, gliding through night and intrigue. The artfully decorated L’Observatoire Suite, with its stained-glass bedroom and secret tearoom, is a cocoon for clandestine pleasures on the move. Let’s sink into the freestanding bath with a glass of champagne and let the rhythm of the track lull us. When dawn breaks over the passing countryside, why not greet it wrapped naked in ember-hued satin?

THE BERKELEY: CRESCENT PAVILION PENTHOUSE

London’s contemporary love nest, reimagined. With its luminous glass pavilion and 270-degree wraparound terrace above Belgravia, The Berkeley’s penthouse is made for passionate rendezvous. Invite me for an after-dark soirée in the living room, then let’s slip out onto the terrace to watch the city sparkle beneath us - draped in nothing but starlight (and perhaps a silk robe that won’t stay on for long).

CALA DI VOLPE: THE HARRODS SUITE

Sardinian sun, Harrods luxury, and a suite made for slow, sun-drenched seduction. The private roof terrace and infinity pool invite us to shed our inhibitions (and our swimsuits), while the alfresco deck is perfect for lazy breakfasts - or afternoon rendezvous in the shade. Terracotta tiles kiss bare feet, and the coastal breeze teases us with promises of pleasure. At Cala di Volpe, every corner is a backdrop for la dolce vita, best enjoyed with someone delicious between those Italian linens.

My bucket-list suites? Places where every sense ignites, every view inspires, and every kiss is unforgettable. Now, all I need is the right partner in crime, and a do-not-disturb sign. Maybe you’re him? Let’s find out.
