Valentine's Day Ideas

Valentine’s day is coming up, and we know you and your significant other are looking for a romantic way to spend some relaxing time together after such a stressful few years. Luckily, as an independent hotel in Dublin that is committed to providing understated luxury with a personal touch, we are practiced at creating romance and have learned a few things about creating personalized experiences for a variety of occasions, including romantic getaways. Let us share some of our expertise with you: keep reading to learn five ways you can turn up the romance this Valentine’s day.

Valentine's Day Rose Petals on Bed

The Classics

Rose petals. Champagne. Fresh strawberries. There is a reason these are the first on many Valentine’s idea lists. They are classics - well loved. Imagine: you follow a trail of rose petals to a comfy bed covered in them, you are wearing fluffy bathrobes and slippers, a bottle of chilled champagne sits next to two fizzing glasses and some fresh strawberries. You cuddle in, grab a glass, laugh, and watch your favorite rom-com. What more could you ask for than a luxurious, romantic, emotionally connected night on Valentine’s day.

Promenade

Another way to infuse your Valentine’s Day with romance is to take your love for Bridgerton to new heights and go on a romantic ‘promenade’, or a walk through a local park. Herbert Park in Ballsbridge, Dublin offers serenity in the hustle of the city, and the gorgeous grounds are the perfect spot to prompt romance.

Wine and Dine

Going to a romantic dinner doesn’t have to be standard. We know restaurants that offer luxurious experiences with interesting, delicious, unique menu choices. Pair that with the perfect bottle of wine, excellent service, and engaging conversation and you find yourself on one of the most intimate Valentine’s date options. Our favorite restaurant in Dublin for Valentine’s dinner is Pavilion Restaurant in Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence. It is romantic, classy, delicious, and has excellent service.

Staycation

Want to plan something a little bigger to show your love how much they mean to you? Consider planning a staycation – a vacation without the stress or time it takes to go farther away. A simple weekend in a relaxing hotel across town is enough to break the monotony of everyday life and foster a feeling of romance and intimacy.

All of the above

Better yet, go for the ultimate Valentine’s date and incorporate all of the above. Take a romantic promenade through Herbert Park and end your walk at Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence. Eat a 4* evening meal with the perfect bottle of wine at Pavilion Restaurant overlooking the beautiful scenery before heading up to bed. When you enter your room, find rose petals, fizzing champagne, and fresh strawberries waiting for you. After changing into fluffy bathrobes and slippers, curl up together on the bed and watch your favorite romantic movie. Maybe even run a luxurious bubble bath and relax with our Field Day spa toiletries before falling to sleep in one of the quietest parts of Dublin. The next morning, wake up together with room service breakfast and spend the morning laughing and talking while looking over Herbert Park.
