How to Choose the Right Lodging for a Romantic Getaway
You’ve decided to go on a romantic getaway – but what lodging will enhance the experience? Some couples adore a quaint bed and breakfast, while others prefer luxury hotels with all the trimmings, please. Those looking to reconnect and relax might choose a soothing destination spa, while lovers looking for adventure and activity will want a popular resort. We even have some surprises about how to turn “Regular” into “Romance” if you’re traveling on a budget! Get ready to whisk your sweetie away…
Indulge in a top-of-the-line hotel
For the ultimate in luxury, splurge for a five-star hotel experience with a spa on-site. The staff will pamper you – with in-room massages, gourmet meals from room service, and a concierge to attend to your every whim. You’ll have world-class choices in places like L.A., New York, and Las Vegas.
Beauty + serenity: the destination spa
If you and your partner need to de-stress for romance, a retreat environment may bring the peace you desire. A destination spa features a tranquil environment, a sense of well-being, and relaxing rituals such as couples massage or a romantic dip in the baths together.
Experience the charm of a bed and breakfast
These lovely accommodations are typically part of the inn-keeper’s home. Bed and breakfast arrangements are romantic, offering quaint charm in a homey environment. They can often be found in out-of-the-way locations where there are no other hotels. The one thing B-and-Bs do lack is privacy, so be discreet.
Resorts: bursting with fun and amenities
A resort provides couples with a variety of activities, restaurants, pools, and bars, all under one umbrella. If you like the idea of staying in one place and having all kinds of fun brought to you, a resort is the romantic lodging for you.
A truly intimate setting
For the ultimate in sensual pleasures, check out couples-only lodging such as the Midwest’s Sybaris. Each “room” is actually a private, detached cottage specifically built to rekindle romance. In these sultry studios, the lights are dim and every surface is either covered with something soft, or features an incredibly flattering mirror. It’s a love lair come to life, complete with an in-room hot tub and other grown-up delights.
“Alternative” lodging
If your sweetie admires a special type of architecture, or simply loves new experiences, try alternative lodging! You can stay in a treehouse, a geodesic dome, a yurt, or even a remote lighthouse… just remember that what you gain in novelty, you may lose in convenience.
Try a special room at a “regular” hotel
If you’re in an area with few lodging choices, or working within a budget, ask about special rooms. Almost every hotel has a suite that is a cut above “normal,” and it may contain such amenities as a spa tub or a fireplace. Ask about any romance packages, which include things like roses, champagne, and candles. Not available? Bring them yourself and transform the room into a romantic wonderland.
