Have you decided to spend Valentine’s Day in the Eternal City? Here are the 5 most iconic hotels to stay in, enjoying experiences tailored for lovers.
1 A gourmet dinner in a setting of excellence: it is the proposal by Palazzo Montemartini Rome, A Radisson Collection Hotel, to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Chef Alessandro Tognacci has created the menu for the occasion, to be enjoyed in one
evocative scenography: tuna tartare scented with citrus fruits, air of olives taggiasche and onion compote; salted cod in black tempura, raspberry and chicory; risotto with chard, mussels and cherry tomatoes yellow; croaker steak, cream of potatoes and “Japanese style” cacciatore sauce; dark chocolate mousse, orange and chilli pepper (€90 per person excluded drinks).
For those who want to end the evening with the stay in the building, the option between
several rooms and suites, each one different on the other, among which the Skylight Suite stands out, offering the possibility of sleeping underneath the stars, thanks to the suggestive glass roof: the proposal includes the first breakfast, flowers, strawberries and champagne in the room, spa and late check out.
2 The Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel & Spa offers the “San Valentino” package. Includes stay in a double room with breakfast included (upgrade upon availability), admission to the Prince Spa, a temple of romance and well-being and candlelight dinner with a dedicated menu at the refined Pauline Borghese restaurant.
Also “Love Drops 2023”, the dedicated cocktail for the month of love and a taste of rum & chocolate in the exclusive corner near the fireplace.
Late check-out at 16.00 upon availability.
3 Anantara Palazzo Naiadi offers special initiatives to celebrate love.
For those who dream of relaxing and regenerating moments, Anantara Spa has studied exclusive treatments to nourish body and soul with pure well-being. Among the signature experiences designed for the month of February is the “Be my Valentine” couple massage.
Through the oligomineral body scrub it promotes cellular regeneration of the skin, and the Turkish bath, which cleanses every slightest residue in the hot steam, allowing the body to prepare to receive the benefits of the calming and antioxidant properties of the massage oils.
Or, the individual treatment ‘Indulge Yourself’, which represents an exclusive stop to reinvigorate the body, mind and restore brightness and freshness to the face.
Furthermore, for Valentine’s Day, the new Executive Chef of Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Heros De Agostinis has created a dedicated 7-course menu.
4 Aleph Rome Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton has prepared a special program for Valentine’s Day in the Eternal City. For this romantic occasion, the hotel chooses Magenta as its leitmotif. That is, the symbol of renewal and primary color capable of transmitting and generating love and stimulating desires and emotions.
For couples who love well-being, here are the “Coccole Magenta” at Le Caveau by Gili Spa. Le Caveau by Gili spa has thought of a path that combines relaxation and beauty. So here is a couple treatment lasting 90 minutes with a massage with citrus oils and sweet almonds.
Followed by a lifting treatment with vegan products to purify and plump the skin. At this point, guests will enjoy 30 minutes of intense relaxation in an exclusive hammam, sauna and comfortable jacuzzi, also wrapped in food and beverage pampering, including selections of fruit, tea, herbal teas and bubbles.
A romantic dinner is the best way to celebrate eternal love, and executive chef Carmine Buonanno has created a special menu with a variety of dishes inspired by love and couples.
If, on the other hand, you want to give your sweetheart an experience between taste and entertainment, it is worth living the “Le Petit Chef” experience. It is an innovative multi-sensory show that involves the guest in the round, with images, sounds and flavors in a dreamy and poetic atmosphere.
With the use of video mapping and augmented reality techniques, guests will see the adventures of the little chef unfold before their eyes who, in a captivating projection, tries his hand at preparing the dishes of his recipes among a thousand unexpected events and funny gags.
Thanks to this 3D projection technique, the table is transformed into a dynamic display on which the thousand stories of the character are displayed. Once the projection is completed, we move from the virtual experience to the sensory one; the waiters will serve the diners the same dish that Le Petit Chef has prepared in the cartoon, which will be the same as the virtual one.
5 Rome Cavalieri is a Valentine’s Day in a Pop key. That is, with the light-heartedness, energy and that pinch of madness that characterized the “sweet Sixties”. Precisely the period that saw the birth of the hotel which turns 60 this year.
For those who want to amaze with gourmet excellence, the indispensable choice is the La Pergola restaurant by chef Heinz Beck. In fact, the only 3-star Michelin restaurant in the capital will delight you with dishes capable of dazzling the eyes and palate with live musical accompaniment.
A romantic aperitif is always a good idea. And even on Valentine’s Day the Tiepolo Bar offers an unforgettable moment to toast with a seductive cocktail, surrounded by precious artistic masterpieces.
Finally, here are the adrenaline-pumping activities offered by Italy Adventure. For example, a tandem parachute jump, with attached photo and video reportage, or a synchronized flight for couples. And for the less reckless who don’t want to give up the thrill of heights, a private helicopter flight to observe the Eternal City from above.
