Love it or hate it, 14 February is fast approaching and for who are those googly-eyed over their girl or guy a whimsical weekend away could be on the cards.
Whether you’re seeking a last-minute break with your beloved to capitals long famed for love or fancy escaping to the countryside for some one-on-one time, there’s a package to sweeten the deal beyond the ever-popular box of chocolates or bunch of flowers.
Of course, the cheesy classics have made the cut for most romance packages. Picture flutes of champagne, candle-lit courses from aphrodisiac-centric menus and petal-strewn pillows awaiting your arrival.
From short-haul city breaks in amorous Paris and baroque Venice – both vying for the crown of “city of love” – to secluded staycations closer to home in Scotland, here are the hotels hosting the holiday of devotion in style for 2024.

Paris is many people’s fantasy destination for a Valentine’s break, and the three-night ‘Romance & Revelry’ package at Le Royal Monceau Raffles offers luxury and romance in abundance in the French capital. You’ll stay in an Artist Room, a spacious room providing plenty of natural light, contemporary decor, art – including paintings and sculptures – from the hotel’s private collection, and a bottle of champagne.
After a romantic welcome, guests will experience a tasting-menu dinner for two at Il Carpaccio, the hotel’s on-site Michelin-starred Italian restaurant, while you can enjoy buffet breakfasts (in your room if desired) and access to the spa throughout your stay. In addition, you’ll receive a one-hour massage session in a private cabin.
When you do venture outside, you’ll be a stone’s throw from the Champs-Elysées in the heart of the City of Light. From the cobbled streets under Sacre Coeur to the nighttime sparkle of the Eiffel Tower, Paris has countless romantic parts to experience, as well as renowned art galleries like the Louvre, world-famous landmarks including Notre Dame, and neighbourhoods like the lively Latin Quartier or trendy Le Marais.
Three nights B&B in an Artist Room from €3,950 (£3,386) on the “Romance & Revelry” package between 13 and 16 February.
