Believe it or not, there's a wildly unique couples-only hotel hiding out in Central Illinois, a place not exactly known for glamour and romance.

Luxury, relaxation, and a trip to an exotic fantasy world—no passport required.

When I first stumbled across this spot, I thought, “Is this even real?” And more importantly, “Why on earth is it in the middle of nowhere?” This feels like the kind of thing you'd find in Vegas, not the land of cornfields.

But here's the deal: when you're staying in themed fantasy suites like these, it doesn’t matter what’s outside—or if there are even windows. Spoiler: There probably aren’t.

What’s Your Fantasy?

It’s a personal question, I know. Don’t worry, you don’t have to answer. But you do need to check out the photos below—because your next “get the heck away from the kids” overnight escape is waiting.

Which one of these fantasies below sounds like your thing:

  • 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

Who knew you could fulfill your fantasies smack dab in the middle of Illinois in an ordinary-looking hotel, thank you onlyinyourstate.com for finding this hidden (to me) gem.

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 Crystal Cave Suite

This one really does feel like it's underground. It's that 'no windows' thing.
