What does ๐ฉ Love Hotel mean?
A hotel building decorated with a heart. It comes from Japan, where love hotels are short-stay hotels designed for couples looking for privacy. In chats around the world it works as a flirty or suggestive emoji for romantic getaways, date nights and couple time, and sometimes for outright innuendo. Because of that, it is not a good substitute for the ordinary ๐จ hotel.
๐ฉ Love Hotel is an emoji from the Travel & Places category (buildings), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010.
