Illinois’ Steamiest Couples Getaway for Valentine’s Day
You won't find a better resort in Illinois to play out your fantasies in private for Valentine's Day, or any other night away. Luxury, relaxation, and trips to exotic worlds await.
You Won’t Find a Better Resort in Illinois to Play Out Your Fantasies
Luxury, relaxation, and trips to exotic worlds await at Sunset Inn & Suites in Clinton, Illinois. When I first found this place, I wasn’t sure it was real. But guess what? It’s 100% real.
A Romantic Getaway... in the Middle of Nowhere?
A couples-only hotel with wild fantasy rooms—in the middle of central Illinois? Seems like something you’d find in a big city, but nope. It’s surrounded by, well… corn. But let’s be real: when you’re in a Starlight Glacier suite or an Arabian Nights fantasy, you won’t be worried about the outside view. (Honestly, do these rooms even have windows?)
What’s Your Fantasy?
Not asking for personal details, but just imagine… Which of these themed escapes would you pick?
- Starlight Glacier
- Space Odyssey
- Wine & Roses
- Roman Retreat
- Cabin Fever
- South of the Border
- Crystal Cave
- Arabian Nights
- African Safari Adventure
- Pearl Under the Sea
- Paradise Beach
- Rainforest
Sunset Inn & Suites in Clinton, Illinois.
It is really hard to believe what lies on the other side of the front door of this place.

The Starlight Glacier Suite
It's cold, keep me warm, light a fire, snuggle...
But do it with this cool futuristic purple vibe.
The Space Odyssey Suite
Sci-fi love in another galaxy.
This room better come with some lightsabers.
The Wine & Roses Suite
I get conflicting vibes from this room. Like 'baby let's get wild but let's still sit in our lazy boy chairs and watch tv.'
The hot tub in the Wine & Roses suite sure does look nice.
The Roman Retreat Suite
Nobody needs to know what's underneath the toga.
The Cabin Fever Suite
This is probably the most fitting room given the Inn's location.
The South of the Border Suite
I'm into this fantasy as long as I can order an endless basket of chips and salsa.
The Crystal Cave Suite
This one really does feel like it's underground. It's that 'no windows' thing.
Not that the 'no window' thing is bad, just that it real;y stands out in this suite.
Some of the suites have private saunas.
The Arabian Nights Suite
When Jasmine and Aladdin need to escape, they come to Clinton, Illinois.
When the royal couple needs to sweat it out.
The African Safari Adventure Suite
I bet it wouldn't be too hard to find some appropriate (even inappropriate) animal print wear for your stay.
The Pearl Under the Sea Suite
This screams mermaid fantasy.
The Paradise Beach Suite
You could have some big fun in this suite.
Get a fan blowing lightly and some beach sounds on the speakers and this space is perfect.
The Rainforest Suite
They might keep a couple of big leaves or loin cloths under the bed.
