Are you ready to think beyond chocolate and champagne for Valentine’s Day this year? There’s no need to stress and overplan: Instead, lean on the wisdom of your favorite hotel’s concierge.
While nearly every hotel in the world will be offering some sort of Valentine’s Day extra (typically something involving those aforementioned chocolates and champagne), only the best will go well beyond cliches. Think a private jet to a private island, personal shopping experiences, top-quality jewelry, elaborate couple’s spa treatments, and, of course. multi-course meal extravaganzas.
Here’s a look at some of the most decadent and original Valentine’s Day packages on offer this year.
-
