  Some hotels have a hot tub attached to the room, but almost all have a hot tub near the hotel pool. Enjoy time relaxing and soaking up the moment together.
• Jacuzzi date

Best Date Night Hotels: Hotel rooms that make great date night/weekend getaway spots

• Themed hotel rooms
  Try a place like the Anniversary Inn with themed rooms and intricate sets for an entirely new vibe! It’s the perfect way to feel like you got a romantic getaway in only one night.
• Luxury hotels
  Nothing stuns and impresses quite like the experience of a luxury hotel. Fancy hotel rooms usually feel like an extra special bonding experience. It’s also a great way to impress if you’re with someone with gifts as a love language!
• City hotels
  There are so many great date nights to do in the city! Staying in a hotel right in the city where you can walk to major events is always a fun piece of a date night.
• Bed and Breakfasts
  These are charming, quaint, romantic, and provide a meal with the ticket. You may feel like you stepped into your own Hallmark movie.
• Hotels with Romantic Restaurants Attached
  Dinner counts as a date night in itself! Attach the ability to walk to your room and you’re set for a very romantic date night.
• Hotels with Spas
  A spa day isn’t just for girls’ nights, it makes a great romantic date! If you need a day to relax and unwind, find a hotel with spas you can utilize and book a spa night!
• Boutique Hotel
  A boutique hotel adds special features like art and unique styles to explore and appreciate. It feels more like an intentional date spot instead of a business trip.
• Hotels with ocean views or lake views
  Sometimes just listening to the ocean waves from your hotel balcony is the perfect romantic night. Hotels with a view make for an excellent date! In fact, I’ll never forget our views from our Bellagio Hotel getaway.
• Hotels with special rates
  There’s something romantic about splurging, and there’s something even more romantic about getting a deal and not breaking the bank. Find a special deal or rate and enjoy saving some cash while you enjoy your hotel date night ideas!
