top sexy city breaks

Moscow

Money makes the world go round, and this is no more true than in Moscow; to bag a girl and get a skinful of vodka you’ll need deep pockets. Here, gambling and adult entertainment seem to go hand in hand. There are a plethora of strip clubs but only a handful are worth a visit. There are now also one or two strip clubs for women – proof that even a once hugely chauvinist city such as Moscow can grow up. The strip club industry has continued to boom ever since Dolls, the original strip club, opened in the mid-nineties. We recommend Rasputin, where there are 10 VIP suites with saunas and Jacuzzis. Other services include S&M, or sushi served on a naked geisha.

A ‘City Retreat’ treatment will promote pure relaxation and guarantee a stress-free Mother’s Day.

Established in 1995, the chalets are run by Francesca and Paul who live here year round with their 3 children. They really seem to live up to their ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude, providing excellent accommodation including all en-suite bedrooms, an outdoor Jacuzzi, sauna and massage. They also offer fantastic cuisine, catering for many tastes. Their high-repeat guest list says it all – this is a true home from home, and will certainly appeal to those longing to have a great ski holiday knowing their children will be well cared for.

top ski chalets for snowboarders

Chalet Christophe is the flagship chalet and sets the standard for rudechalets™ Morzine Accommodation. It has seven bedrooms, all en-suite and they are very modern in design, equipped with the latest home entertainment and furnished with funky decor. The open plan lounge has been designed for maximum relaxation and enjoyment. The original retro crafted “Mini” (the only one of its kind in the Alps) has become a store for a large selection of chalet games. It also has a small fridge filled with chilled beer which can be utilised any time of the day or night. If you fancy a break from the slopes you can chill out with a drink on the wooden terrace, which captures the alpine rays throughout the day or jump into the hot-tub with a glass of wine.

top places to see and be seen right now

The Oscars are fast approaching, and LA will be the place to be when the 82nd Academy Awards roll into town. If old-school Hollywood glamour and notoriety is what you’re after then there is only one choice. Modeled after a French Chateau, this hotel manages to be grand and homely all at the same time and stands out like a huge haunted house on the Hollywood hillside. Aside from looking something out of a movie set, Chateau Marmont also has an impressive history; it was where Jim Morrison dangled from a drainpipe, where John Belushi died from a drug overdose, and where Britney Spears was kicked to the kerb before a barrage of flashbulbs. But don’t let the a-listers enjoy all the attention - steal the spotlight and prop up Bar Marmont with the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Johnny Depp. As movie exec Harry Cohn famously said, “if you must get in trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont.”
