Getaways for couples are never more crucial than on Valentine’s Day. Available romantic hotels for Valentine’s Day abound, but which ones are actually affordable? Which ones are not “cheesy” and “so done?” Four choices stand out.
Lost Mountain Lodge: $189 per night
Find the Lost Mountain Lodge near the Olympic National Park in the State of Washington. Traditionally a destination for eco-tourists, the lodge features a Hearts & Flowers Getaway that costs you $189 per night. There is a two-night minimum stay required, but who would not love to spend a romantic Valentine’s Day in this setting? Part and parcel of this weekend getaway for couples is a $75 gift certificate for a two-person dinner, champagne on ice in the suite, and fresh roses. Spend the days snow-shoeing on Hurricane Ridge or enjoying some leisurely time in the outdoor hydrotherapy spa — yes, it is open even in winter.
The Blennerhassett: $239 to $359 per night
Depending on the type of room you choose, the Night of Romance package only sets you back between $239 and $359 a night. Included in your West Virginia hotel stay is the customary champagne on ice, as well as some fresh roses; but there s also a $100 gift card to one of the hotel’s eateries. Considering these dinner savings, the Blennerhassett can be downright inexpensive. Best of all, this hotel is dog-friendly; bring along your four-legged canine companion for the Valentine’s Day getaway, and you even save money on the kennel costs.
Chambers Hotel: $295 per night
For $295 per night, you can book a two-night romantic Valentine’s Day stay at New York’s Chambers Hotel. A rainwater shower, queen-size bed, and Tibetan wool carpeting are just some of the room amenities. Enhance your stay with an optional $85 champagne and chocolates assortment or a $150 massage for your significant other. Reduce this room rate to only $265.50 by booking seven days in advanced; be sure to mention the early bird special. Remember: Book the weekend before or after Valentine’s Day to qualify for the savings. Located right in midtown Manhattan, this Valentine’s Day getaway is perfect for the couple wanting to take in cultural venues and do some high-end window-shopping.
The Chanler: $490 for one night
Before you beg off, claiming that this is one of the more expensive Rhode Island getaways for couples — and not an affordable romantic Valentine’s Day night spent elsewhere — consider that the Dinner and a Mansion package includes a full breakfast, a three-course dinner, and all taxes and gratuities. Additionally, you receive two tickets to a mansion of your choice. Make sure to book a Friday stay, or a minimum stay requirement does apply. Pick out a Colonial, French provincial or Williamsburg room.
