Romeo and Juliet’s balcony isn’t only offered as one of the premiere wedding destinations, though. When you come to Verona, travel to this area, and visit the Cappello family house you’ll likely be greeted by other tourists (you may be able to reserve, though). Verona travel authorities say they’re hoping to use the area to bring in tourist sales by offering a variety of packages.

If you visit, and are still looking for your Romeo or Juliet, be sure to rub the right breast Juliet’s bronze statue. It’s supposed to bring you true love. Trust me; she gets plenty of friendly attention which is apparent by the glossiness of her breast (from tourists rubbing it).

What small, chic, designer hotels don’t know about creating a romantic atmosphere isn’t worth knowing. Making guests feel welcome and unique is a hallmark of all these hotels, and if you call to ask for something special, they’ll make sure that you get it.

Why go all the way to Venice for a romantic weekend just to stay in a regular hotel? If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth spending a little extra money to make the trip as special and memorable as possible; and that includes the room, the food and the service. Make this holiday something you will be talking about for years to come.

Honeymoons

A honeymoon is a never-to-be-repeated holiday, so it makes sense to ensure that it’s as special as it can be. People often choose the country they want to go to before they decide where to stay, but it’s also worth taking a look at the boutique hotels available in collections like ours. You may find exactly the type of hotel you want, and that in turn could shape your destination choices. Look for boutique hotels that have large, luxurious rooms, with modern bathrooms and hotels that offer special packages, room upgrades or additional details such as beachfront access or complimentary spa treatments. Choose a hotel that’s really different to anywhere you’ve stayed before so that you can use it to create a unique honeymoon experience.

Anniversaries and romantic breaks

Celebrate a special occasion or just take advantage of an opportunity to spend some time together, and let a boutique hotel be your base for a romantic break. Whether you choose a hotel that offers relaxing spa treatments, or an urban hotel where you can experience the bright lights and fine dining of a major city, you can find a boutique hotel that will fulfil all your requirements. Try a cooking class in France, or a wine-tasting course in Italy. Explore Boston’s historic sights from a hotel in the most exclusive street in the city, or book into a child-free beach idyll in the Pacific. Turn a couple of days away into an unforgettable romantic break by selecting a boutique hotel. Top it off with a special romantic, candlelit evening basket.
