Out With Football, In With Footsie
Is it just a coincidence that Valentine’s Day comes so soon after the Super Bowl? What used to be a January sporting event is now held just 11 days ahead of the most loving day of the year. Perhaps the gods of love have a hand in this, realizing in their omniscience that couples need incentive to rekindle their passions after the long and wearying pigskin season finally ends.
For all your romantic reconciliation needs, we’ve compiled a handful of far-flung getaways to inviting hotels, resorts and even a game lodge. Well beyond chocolates at turndown, these destinations will ease couples back into loving bliss with luscious spa treatments, gourmet dining and delightful amenities at every turn – which should be a distraction from the fact that baseball season begins on March 25.
EAT YOUR HEART OUT: Heart-shaped chocolates for your Valentine’s sweetie? You can do better – much better – at The Langham, Boston. The lavish hotel on Franklin Street in downtown Boston is marking the most romantic day of the year with a My Sweet Valentine Package, including overnight accommodations in a “Blissful Bed,” as well as a special Valentine’s Day Dinner, pour deux, at award-winning Café Fleuri. Executive Chef Mark Sapienza will be dishing up romance all night long, topping it off with the famous Chocolate Bar for dessert. Available for one night only, February 14, 2008. From $420 per night, including taxes and gratuities. boston.langhamhotels.com ...More
