1THE HOTELION Love HotelLove hotel · Sendai3.9 (92)Japan, 〒982-0003 Miyagi, Sendai, Taihaku Ward, Koriyama, Jono−11−6 THE HOTELION- Maze-like room (Room 201) — A quirky, maze-like room designed to make finding the bed an adventure, with floor padding and cushions scattered throughout for unexpected resting spots. The owner, Shishido-san, likes to put these everywhere because 'you never know where you're gonna end up in a love hotel room.'
- Sandbag room (Room T26) — A room featuring a jungle gym and a punch bag, with the entire floor covered in one large cushion. It offers 'practically unlimited' possibilities for relaxation.
- Practical room (Room 336) — Considered the most practical and popular room, especially for first dates, as it's not maze-like or overly surprising. It features a dining area where you can have dinner before easily rolling onto the bed.
- Room service menu — A grand menu filled with items like pizzas, pastas, steaks, and beer, designed by an Italian restaurant. Orders can be placed easily via the in-room TV and are delivered discreetly through a hole in the wall to maintain anonymity. Fried chicken and chips are a popular order.
- Lingerie — Various lingerie items available for purchase directly from the room, including a popular 'Unikitty' set for ¥1,500 and stockings.
- License plate cover — A handy license plate cover provided in the car park to ensure drivers' peace of mind and maintain discretion upon arrival.
- Management system — A sophisticated screen-based system that allows staff to monitor which rooms are vacant (green), short-time use (yellow), overnight stays (red), or currently being cleaned. It also shows if guests are members, enabling the entire hotel to be managed smoothly and discreetly.
- Kitchen operations — The kitchen prepares all room service orders, featuring a menu designed by an Italian restaurant, though popular items like fried chicken and chips are also available.
