For that sweet (or spicy) getaway
However cheesy it may sound, Valentine’s Day is a day dedicated to celebrating love. It’s a time when everything feels more romantic, and hate it or love it, you can’t help but secretly hope for that special someone to make some plans. And if that someone has no way in their radar the idea of planning something, here are some suggestions for a sweet (or spicy) getaway.
1. Marignan Paris for the best view
Located in the heart of Paris’s 8th arrondissement, between Avenue Montaigne, the Champs-Elysées, and Avenue George V, the 5-star Hotel Marignan Champs-Elysées epitomizes Parisian sophistication. With its elegant decor, impeccable service, and prime location, the hotel ensures an unforgettable stay in the City of Lights. Be sure to ask about the suite with a terrace for breathtaking views of Paris and the iconic Eiffel Tower. Additionally, indulge in culinary delights at the hotel’s newest restaurant, Ma Dame, offering seasonal cuisine in a cozy and inviting ambiance.
2. Hotel Metropole Venezia, for the Michelin Starred Restaurant
Once an orphanage where Vivaldi imparted music lessons, now transformed into a family-run hotel. Enriched with the owners’ art collections and antique treasures, though renovated to keep pace with the times, its style remains delightfully eclectic, incorporating influences from Venice to Shanghai and everywhere in between. Situated right on the waterfront of Riva degli Schiavoni. Inside, it is far from bustling, and the rooms and suites, are serene havens of luxury. The Met Restaurant is a modern, sophisticated venue brimming with art and theatrical atmosphere. The hotel’s tea room is another highlight, embodying Venetian tradition dating back to the days of the Silk Road. The Oriental Bar is housed in the same chapel where Vivaldi once taught.
3. Torel Palace Porto, for the vibe
Luxury personified: Torel Palace Porto. The elegant palace, situated in the heart of Porto, resides in a stunning mansion transformed into a charming five-star hotel. Inspiration was found in the ceiling portraits adorning the first-floor rooms, setting the tone for the hotel’s literary concept. Each of the 24 rooms and suites pays homage to illustrious Portuguese literary figures, with books scattered throughout the hotel, especially in the library ceiling installation, resembling stars. Hotel’s mission to honor Portuguese writers extends to the Blind restaurant, a tribute to José Saramago’s “Blindness,” and Florbela Pâtisserie, a French-inspired pastry shop honoring Florbela Espanca. Fit for royalty, each room is named after a literary figure. Adding an unexpected twist, mirrored cubes serve as bathrooms, creating a playful interplay of reflections.
4. The Nomad Hotel for the best design
In London, the NoMad London, recognized as one of the World’s 50 Best Hotels, finds its home within the esteemed Bow Street Magistrates’ Court and Police Station, a historic grade II-listed building. Partnering with the renowned New York-based interior design studio Roman and Williams, the hotel’s conversion of this 19th-century landmark draws inspiration from its rich history and vibrant Covent Garden surroundings, while also celebrating the artistic and cultural ties between London and New York. The accommodations provide a refined luxury and a homely comfort uniquely characteristic of NoMad.
