A penthouse in Germany is offering a holiday it is going to be hard to beat – a stay in a Fifty Shades of Grey-style SM chamber for GBP 500-a-night.

The bizarre luxury suite – dubbed VIP Lounge Elegance – measures up to 100-square-metre (1076 square feet ) in an exclusive Munich location.
It comes complete with a caged bondage bed, shackles and even a gynaecological examination chair.
And a collection of kinky masks, torture crosses, chains and horsewhips make it hard to beat for room services.
Then – after a particularly punishing schedule – guests can even relax in a rooftop hot tub spa or in the Finnish-style sauna.
Landlady Monika Rose – who charges a punishing EUR 560 (GBP 495) a night – explained: “The numerous fixtures guarantee complete delivery.

“Bound hands and feet, gagged, blindfolded, you are at the mercy of your partner.”
She highlighted a St. Andrew’s cross – also known in SM circles as an X-cross – next to the bed, which allows guests to shackle each other’s ankles, wrists and waists.
The clinic room includes a gynaecological chair with many sex toys placed in a display case, as reported by German media.
And Monika Rose advises any nervous novice guests: “We guarantee extreme cleanliness and absolute discretion.
“Then we’ll give a little introduction to the world of Fifty Shades of Grey.”
