- Stay at Sybaris
All three images from the hotel’s website This is one romantic getaway I really – REALLY – want to be able to do before I die. This is a luxury, couples-only hotel that’s only located in three states including Indiana. It’s a place dedicated to giving you a luxurious and sensual experience. Some of the suite features include having a Jacuzzi tub big enough for two people and an indoor heated pool. You can even get a room with a massage chair and a waterslide that goes from the second floor of your private room to the heated pool! Don’t forget about the sauna. The only downside to this hotel is they do not have room service or in-house restaurants of any kind. Couples are encouraged to bring their own food or prepare to go out to eat at one of the many nearby places. Presently, there are both two and three night packages available at the hotel. You can also rent the hotel for part of a day (or part of a night). Amenities you get with the room include champagne or sparkling cider, bath robes, candles, and a rose-petal bed turndown. You can find this hotel at 5466 W. 86th Street in Indianapolis. Obviously, it’s an expensive hotel. But, wouldn’t it be worth it just to stay one time?
