Think About Lighting
If you’re trying to set the mood for a romantic weekend away, don’t let the harsh lighting ruin the moment. Make sure the lights are just right for the time of day your guests are checking in. Guests arriving in the morning will appreciate the room bathed in natural light, while those arriving later in the day may like the room to be darkened.
Provision of Chocolates on Arrival
Offering some tasty treats to your guests when they arrive is a terrific way to set the tone for a pleasant stay. You’ll need to consider bigger than a single chocolate bar left on your pillow, as this has become somewhat of a cliche in the hotel industry. We suggest going with a heart-shaped box of chocolates or a bowl of chocolate-covered strawberries. To amaze your visitors, collaborate with a local chocolatier.
Break Out The Champagne
A bottle of Champagne waiting on ice in the room for a guest’s arrival is the ultimate gesture of luxury. You may make your guests feel even more special by including a bottle of champagne in the “romantic weekend away” package. Make sure to check with your visitors ahead of time to see if any of them are abstainers and if they will bring any non-alcoholic beverages to serve as substitutes.
Think About Scent
The smell of a hotel room is always significant, but it takes on further significance when welcome couples for a romantic night away. You should open the windows and make sure the room doesn’t smell like cleaning supplies before your guests come. To get guest rooms ready, try using some fresh flowers, scented candles, or even just a spritz or two of perfume.
Offer A Rose Petal Turndown Service
It’s likely that a couple staying at your hotel for a romantic getaway will dine out at least once during their stay (it might even be part of the package you have offered). While they are out, you can provide a romantic turndown service by illuminating the bed with candles (or fake ones) and scattering rose petals. By the time visitors get back to their rooms, the atmosphere will be ideal for a passionate evening.
Choose Rooms With A View
The ‘couples stay’ packages at some hotels are only available when booking a specific room type. If you go this approach, make sure you highlight the most romantic spots available. Accommodations that face out over the property’s gardens or onto well-known sites in the area are sure to be a hit with guests.
