Romance and the city with The Hotel @ Times Square
Where better to spend a special Valentine's weekend than in the home of the classic, old movie romance of the silver-screen - New York.
The Hotel @ Times Square invites love-birds to enjoy the old-school glamour of the city without the heartbreak of sky-high prices.
The budget-friendly hotel is just a stone's throw from some of the city's most famous romantic movie landmarks - perfect for igniting the mood for love and romance or even a (motion) picture-perfect proposal! Romantic hotspots include:
The Empire State Building - The top of this legendary skyscraper is perhaps New York's most famous romantic spot. It's where characters Sam and Annie finally find themselves together on Valentine's Day in Sleepless In Seattle and offers breathtaking views for couples wanting a sky-high romance.
Tiffany & Co - A visit to this world-famous jewellery shop on Fifth Avenue, featured in Breakfast At Tiffany's, is sure to win brownie points for any boyfriend or husband wanting to treat his lucky lady - as long as he doesn't just window shop like Audrey Hepburn's character Holly Golightly did!
Central Park - This leafy green backdrop provided the perfect canvas for When Harry Met Sally's love story to develop. Couples wanting to ride The Mall in style without splurging on a horse-drawn carriage could hire a pedicab or even bikes! There's also Katz's Delicatessen to discover - made notorious by Meg Ryan's deli scene, this a la carte establishment in Manhattan serves an array of delicious offerings and proves that maybe good food really is the way to a man's heart.
Located within a few blocks of these hotspots and conveniently situated for cosying up at a show in the theatre district, enjoying a romantic, candlelit meal at Times Square or showering your loved-one with gifts on a Fifth Avenue shopping trip, the recently opened The Hotel @ Times Square offers stylish yet comfortable accommodation for a thrifty romantic break. Amenities include free Continental breakfast, free WiFi Internet access, free national phone calls, a fitness centre and bar.
