A devastatingly romantic hotel for every week of the year? Don't say we're not good to you. Here's a pick of seductive Smith bedrooms worldwide that render Cupid redundant.
In the 10 years since we started Mr & Mrs Smith, it's fair to say that we've slept around. Over the past decade, we've checked into jaw-dropping boudoirs, ranging from rockstar-worthy pool suites and fabulous four-poster palazzo chambers to blissful houseboat hideaways and cosy country love nests.
This is a far-from-exhaustive shortlist of those bedrooms from Australia to Europe (via Asia and the Americas, of course) that have really stirred our hearts and knocked our Jimmy Choos off, whether for their soul-stimulating views, sultry decor, romantic mood lighting, or all of the above. You'll find a mix of old favourites and stylish newcomers, all of which are guaranteed to get even the most jaded hotel-hopper's pulse racing…
So here it is — our 52 sexiest bedrooms. For you serious romantics out there, that's one for every week of the year…
Beach Villas at Hayman, Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Iconic private-island resort Hayman, in Australia's Great Barrier Reef, is all about low-key tropical luxe. Its 210 light contemporary rooms let the ocean take centre stage, but it's hard not to be distracted by these gorgeous seaside pads. Top of our wish-list are the Kerry Hill-designed Beach Villas, right on the sand. Serene bedroom and luxe bathroom? Tick. Enormous tub configured around a private deck and pool? Sure. Hayman Spa will lure sybarites into a catatonic state (cue massages while you're bobbing in the sea). The pool is the southern hemisphere's biggest, while the four restaurants promise a global gourmet getaway.
Waterfront premier two-bedroom pavilion at MONA Pavilions, Hobart, Australia
When it comes to racy boutique beds, you've got to hand it to the Roy pavilion at MONA Pavilions in Tasmania's capital. A spectacular faceted-metal penthouse on the banks of the Derwent River, it hosts two bedrooms over three floors, with sensual black-and-white photos of naked bodies writhing above bedheads. An ultra-contemporary living/dining space and a spa bath on the deck make for a serious date night. The seven other modernist pavilions also boast original Australian art and architecture. Culture-vultures can visit the MONA art gallery on site, or swell drinking and dining dens, including wine-savvy restaurant The Source.

QT Deluxe King rooms at QT Sydney, Australia
Sultry QT Sydney is for party-people, with 200 quirky-but-cool rooms set within a duo of historic buildings. Door staff sport saucy outfits and there's a fistful of sassy drinking and dining spaces. All the boudoirs rock a fashion-forward look, with vibrant hits of colour and pattern across fur throws, rugs and cushions (we heart the QT Deluxe King bedroom). Illuminated vitrines add wow factor; DIY Martini kits bring the fun. Kick off with a visit to SpaQ (and its old-school gents' barber's), then dine at Euro-style Gowings Bar & Grill, before retiring to the scarlet-curtained Gilt Lounge for vintage cocktails.
Signature Suites at Saffire, Freycinet Peninsula, Australia
Like a space-age stingray, futuristic Saffire looks like it's gliding towards the curvy Coles Bay coastline. An elemental sanctuary on Tasmania's pure Freycinet Peninsula, this is a luxury hotel with a difference. The 20 suites embrace the landscape, with vistas from your king-size bed or private deck of sea, beach and the dramatic Hazards peaks on the horizon. What's more, select spa treatments are included in rates. With wraparound windows, Palate restaurant makes a mesmerising perch, with local fish, seafood and produce the star. Aquatic experiences continue with visits to a marine oyster farm, arcing Wineglass Bay or Schouten Island.
Osprey Pavilion at Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island, Australia
Fancy whale-watching from your bath? You may well get a sighting during a sojourn at Southern Ocean Lodge, an ultra-modern, embrace-the-land sanctuary on South Australia's wildlife-packed Kangaroo Island. All 21 glass-lined suites are light and white, with generous beds, sleek freestanding baths and sun-kissed open-air lounging areas, but it's the endless views of bush, coast and sea that will have your head spinning. Soak it all up from the Osprey Pavilion's pampering tub or head to the soothing restaurant with its sea-scoping terrace. Outdoors, enjoy Kangas & Kanapés at sunset, visit seal colonies or indulge at the aboriginal Dreamtime-inspired spa.
