If someone is warming up your bed, I hope for your sake that either a) it’s someone with whom you’ve been previously acquainted, or b) it’ll involve copious amounts of alcohol and protection. Holiday Inn may see it differently. In one of freakiest promotions I’ve ever heard of, the Holiday Inn’s Kensington, London location has been offering a five-minute "human bed warming" service, where some hapless staffer climbs between your sheets to take the chill off them. (I’m guessing the guest is not actually in the bed at the same time, though the hotel chain’s photo would suggest otherwise.) The marketer says it’s like "having a giant hot water bottle" in your bed. It’s also like having a stranger in your bed. Which is fine, if you’re into that sort of thing. Just be careful!
