Apart from bringing together social events that culminate in new forms of behaviour and dynamics, the modern city alters moral values and creates favourable frameworks for the appearance of new types that meet current needs. In the current socio-economic climate, where young people find it difficult to join the job market and become independent, the love hotel offers a private space for many couples, married or not, who live with their parents or children and who do not have enough space to develop their relationship. These Japanese-origin establishments are bathed in a sense of fantasy and the desire to commit a minor offence, an intrinsic human longing and, primarily, deep-seated in the romance which pervades the shadows and most people’s sense of intrigue.
DélitMineur is a hotel that shies away from western stereotypes and introduces the Japanese model by retaining basic elements such as anonymity, extending the missing privacy or non-themed fantasy and also reinterprets concepts from western erotic imagination using elements from design and architecture, e.g. jealousies, transparencies and the semi-darkness.
