Hot sex in sharia hotel

MATES: Sex club owner Emma Sayle, with Kate Middleton in London.

A friend of the Duchess of Cambridge has been staging sex parties in Britain's first sharia hotel.

Emma Sayle, owner of Killing Kittens, a members-only sex club, said the Bermondsey Square Hotel in London was one of her preferred destinations for the self-styled "sexual elite".

A member of Kate's rowing crew, The Sisterhood, Sayle, 36, has used the four loft suites on the seventh floor of the hotel for parties.

The £220-a-night (about R3,967) hotel became the first sharia hotel in the UK last year, banning the sale of alcohol.

According to the Killing Kitten rules, men cannot approach women at parties unless they know them, everyone wears a mask and single men are not allowed.

Sayle told the Conference News website: "A lot of our events are in high-end hotels such as The Wood Norton in Evesham and the Bermondsey Square Hotel, London, among others."

A Bermondsey Square Hotel spokesman said the sex parties took place in the loft suites so there was no overlap with other guests.

She said: "Bermondsey Square Hotel has had a complete change of ownership in the last six months. The restaurant is undergoing refurbishment and the hotel remains a popular choice with business and leisure guests alike for its location and service.

"More than two years ago a number of rooms were booked by Killing Kittens on a couple of occasions. These were very discrete guests. We have not hosted events for a number of years and it is not something we will be looking to do in the future."

A spokesman for the Wood Norton hotel said: "We have held events organised by Killing Kittens in the past. They would have taken exclusive use. It's not something we will be doing in the future."

Sayle added: "They are private events for couples and girls so it's definitely not about corporates organising a party for their staff."

Killing Kittens also sells sexual aids and has organised "kidnap role-play experiences" for £3,500.
