Fifty Shades of Grey fans wanting to, ahem, whip their inner goddess into shape need only seek out one of the growing number of hotels taking inspiration from the bestselling E.L. James erotic trilogy.

For about $300 a night, three Brisbane-based Accor hotels are offering a "50 Shades of Stay" package, which includes erotic accoutrements such as a satin blindfold, strawberries with chocolate dipping sauce, lip balm (a reference to the main character Anastasia's habit of biting her lip), sparkling wine, and room service breakfast for two. ("A girl's gotta keep up her energy," says the Accor site.)
