It is February. It is cold. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Imagine the audible sighs that echoed off the walls of HC HQ when we came across this photo — hot poolboy and all — in the HotelChatter Flickr Pool, which comes to us courtesy of ChrisGoldNY.

This is a shot from Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in France, an ultra-luxe hotel in a Napoleon III style building at the Southernmost tip of the Cape of Antibes. Rates here start around $600 USD — and that's in the off-season. But we're pretty sure the hot pool boy is included.
