10 ways to make your hotel room romantic

There are several ways you can transform your hotel room into your own private romantic hideaway. Of course, you must either hire someone to prepare the room for you or you must find your way into the room before your partner gets there.

Here are the top 10 ways to improve the appearance of your room:

  1. Music. The best way is to have an i-pod with portable speakers (many hotels now have an i-pod docking station) so you can listen to your favorite music to fill the room. Although not too high.
  2. Turning on. There is nothing worse than walking into a room full of bright lights. Turn off all the lights and strategically place a few battery-operated votive candles around the room (no fire hazard, allowed by hotels. Don’t make the same mistake some have made – use real candles just so the smoke hits the super sensitive detectors and sound an alarm). Close the curtains / blinds.
  3. Rose petals. When the person you are trying to impress opens the door, they will find a trail of rose petals leading from the front door to the bed. Sprinkle lots of rose petals on the bed too. As a special note, most hotels do not like the use of real rose petals, but you can use them as long as you are careful (for example, if there is a white duvet in the room, protect the bed by placing a romantic blanket or a blanket on the bed and then put the petals on top).
  4. Flowers. Roses are king, but some people don’t care about them. Find out what your favorite flower is and place an arrangement in the room (or it can be a single flower on the bed or in a vase).
  5. Edible decay. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac and a favorite for romantic occasions. Skip the heart-shaped box in the basement and look for more high-end truffles at a local chocolate or candy store.
  6. Smell. Have you noticed how some hotel rooms smell like cleaning products? That can spoil the mood. Purchase a room fragrance spray from a store like Body Shop. Or you can buy a “plug” and insert it into one of the sockets in the room; just choose a romantic scent (like vanilla or jasmine)
  7. Bed. Most of the nicer hotels have fantastic sheets and duvets these days. But if you want to add something to the experience, bring your own satin sheets and remake the bed (yes, a little extra work, but it’s worth it) or add a throw or faux fur blanket to the bed.
  8. Bubbly. Champagne always marks a special occasion and will pair well with chocolates. If you don’t like alcohol, then sparkling cider is a great substitute (or non-alcoholic sparkling wine).
  9. Love Letter. You’ve prepared this whole room, but why? Tell your special someone on a note, but not on a sheet of binding paper. Buy a nice card, write something special and leave it in the room on the bed.
  10. Additional features. Other nice touches are having a bath ready (decorated around the edge of the tub with candles and rose petals), a framed photo of the two of you in the room, and a massage kit. Some couples may choose to hire someone for a couples massage, but would you rather massage your partner or have a stranger touch them?
