An Atlanta hotel with come-hither appeal
There's no denying it: The Glenn Hotel in Atlanta is pretty sexy. That the Marriott property can exude this vibe in rooms that most Americans would generously call small is a testament to good design executed with a bit of a knowing wink. In a seventh-floor abode, a peekaboo window in the shower overlooks the bed (oh, behave, there are blinds). Gauzy orange drapes and a leatherlike headboard say boudoir more than bedroom, as does the red curtain in the foyer that hides … the closet and the safe. (Rooms from $129; 1-888-717-8851; www.glennhotel.com.)

Save with a free fourth night in Curacao
The Curacao Tourism Board has partnered with 21 properties to offer every fourth night free for stays Aug. 15 through Dec. 15. You must book through a participating third-party booking site, including Travelocity, Orbitz and Expedia. Travelocity, for example, is also offering an extra 10 percent discount on select properties. Prices vary. On Travelocity, a couple traveling in mid-September pay $571 for four nights in a resort-view king room at the Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort, including taxes — a savings of about $271. Book by Sept. 15; Labor Day and Thanksgiving blackout dates apply at most properties. Info: www.curacao.com/4free. WASHINGTON POST
