Hotel rooms with a stripper pole

A stripper pole turns a bedroom into a private club for two. It is about the show: one partner dances, slowly undresses, plays with the light and the music, the other watches from the bed or the sofa. No skill is required to enjoy it. A few turns around the pole, a slow walk, a look over the shoulder are enough to set the tone for the night.

In the rooms on this page the pole usually stands in the middle of the room or on a small stage, often with coloured lighting, a mirror and a sound system nearby.

Fixed or spinning

A static pole stays still, and you move around it. A spinning pole turns with you, which makes spins easier but needs more control. Some can be switched from one mode to the other; ask the host if it matters to you.

Space around it

Look at the photos for clear floor space around the pole, at least an arm's length and a leg's length on every side, away from the bed corners and the furniture.

Light and sound

Dimmable or coloured lighting and a speaker you can connect your phone to make all the difference. Many rooms with a pole have both; the listing usually says so.

Choose a slow song, dim the lights, and keep it simple: walk around the pole holding it with one hand, lean against it, slide down and back up. Bare feet or flat shoes are safer than heels if you have never tried, and dry hands grip better, so leave the massage oil for later. If you want to climb or spin, warm up first and stay within what you have done before.
