Where to stay
Four Seasons Firenze, Italy
Live a Renaissance dream where you and your significant other become part of a living museum. Falling asleep in a suite adorned by original frescos and architecture is part of what makes this hotel so unique. The Four Seasons Firenze doubles an an urban oasis full of history.
Beyond its discrete doors, it is home to the biggest private garden in the city — a serene haven with statues, fountains, and centuries-old trees.
With a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant, you don’t need to leave to indulge in a fine-dining romantic dinner. But if you’re looking for a special setting for a special day, you can have a table set in more iconic places, with a personal chef preparing an unforgettable meal — a terrace in the iconic Ponte Vecchio to have a toast while being sunkissed by the golden hour or a 15th-century palace, where Leonardo da Vinci once dwelled, overlooking the majestic Duomo are just two of an array of options.
Shangri-la, Paris, France
Paris is always a good idea, but the city of love is especially appealing when we talk romance. Staying at the Shangri-La means living all the best Parisian dreams. The former home of Prince Roland Bonaparte is located in the 16th arrondissement and holds both “Palace” distinction and “Monument Historique” status, blending
European grandeur with traditional Asian hospitality. Its uniqueness extends to the table, being home to the only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in France.
The privileged views of Shangri-la make it one of a kind. Overlooking the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River, it’s a real-life of all Parisian ideals.
For this special holiday, ignite passion with a unique gastronomy experience with a fairy-tale view of the Eiffel Tower. Choose a private lunch or dinner in one of the iconic suites, with the city as your own living paint.
Chi is the hotel’s spa that holds a magnificence hideaway with a 17-metre swimming pool bathed in natural light and opening onto a mesmerising 94m green terrace. Isolated from the commotion and stress of cosmopolitan life but at the centre of everything, this is the redefinition of love and balance.
The Dolder Grand — Zurich, Switzerland
As a city resort and social club, the Dolder Grand offers everything you expect from a five-star hotel: luxurious rooms and suites, world-class restaurants, massive spa facilities but an art collection boasting more than 100 works, including originals from Takashi Murakami and Salvador Dalí.
The hotel offers panoramic views over Zurich, the lake, and the Alps, giving options for every preference. Although the Dolder is always a great escape, they’ve put together some special offers for an extra luxurious night this Valentine’s Day.
Book a night and be greeted in a romantically decorated room with a bottle of champagne and some extra amenities. This offer also includes unlimited access to the spa facilities for you and your partner.
The “Meet Me at Midnight” is the perfect choice for spa lovers. With exclusive access to the Dolder Grand Spa from 22:30 to 00:30, you will have time just for the two of you to enjoy the complimentary champagne and strawberries with chocolate among candles and rose petals. You are also entitled to a 60-minute couple’s massage.
For a romantic dinner, surprise your taste buds with a six-course dinner at The Restaurant — awarded with 19 Gault Millau points and two Michelin stars. If you prefer a cozier ambiance, the Krug Chalet offers a unique fondue created by the chef.
Six Senses Douro Valey — Portugal
Romantic year-round, the Douro Valley is a magical place where time appears to be suspended.
Wine appreciators will likely know that the Douro is the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. The Six Senses honors the local’s history and is set in a carefully renovated 19th-century manor house with gardens, woodlands, and a landscape that adds to your inner peace. Picture vine-covered rolling hills leading to the majestic River Douro. But this magical valley is not one to simply look at — experience it!
Of course, we have to start by highlighting the Wine Experiences. Douro is home to one of the finest wines in the world, and the Six Senses has a dedicated team of wine experts who can carefully curate a selection of on and off-site wine tastings, sommelier tours, and educational experiences to help you fall in love with the world of Douro Port and wines. You can also sail and explore Douro Valley from another perspective: from a traditional Rabelo boat, formerly used for transporting Port wine to Oporto, to a restored vintage boat from the 60s, enjoy the river breeze and treat yourself and your partner to a beautiful picnic on board.
If you miss the cosmopolitan life, the charming city of Oporto is a close drive away, where you can explore many cultural activities.
Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons — Oxfordshire, England
Retreat to the countryside for a tranquil and nature-blessed love celebration. Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons is a perfect postcard, surrounded by green lawns, colourful flowers, and orchards.
The renowned hotel, led by chef Raymond Blanc, has two Michelin stars — one since its opening in 1984 that they keep to this day, an accomplishment that anticipates the quality being served to you. With vegetable and herb gardens that provide the kitchen and the acclaimed Raymond Blanc Cookery School with ultra-fresh, organic produce, you are invited to savour not only divine meals but knowledge with your best half. The hotel offers an array of experiences, especially around food that will elevate any romantic break. In the “Gourmet Escape,” couples can indulge in a culinary journey, tasting exquisite dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients, or choose an immersive cooking class, part of the “Art of Gastronomy” package, to bond while learning the secrets of fine cuisine.
Beyond the table, the hotel delights couples with the “Relax and Indulge” spa package, allowing them to unwind in the luxurious surroundings of the Belmond Le Manoir spa.
