Things for couples to do in a hotel room – Share a bottle of wine
On your way back to the hotel destination, grab a bottle of local wine and ask at the hotel bar if you can take 2 glasses back up to your room. Wine or champagne is something that is best shared, smelled sip and tasted. Talk about the flavours and plan more couples trips to wineries and vineyards.

One of the easiest romantic things to do on your special getaway in a hotel room is watching a sunset or sunrise. Make sure you ask your hotel for a room with a balcony so you can sit outside and chat while the sun goes down. It is a great thing to do with your bottle of wine or some dessert.
Romantic things to do in a hotel room – Bath Together
Book a hotel or apartment with a spa bath or hot tub and create a romantic atmosphere. Get yourself organised with some wine, bath salts and chocolates, strip off your clothes and inhibitions and jump in. At worst, have a bubble bath or shower together and wash each other’s bodies.

A shared bucket list is something that all couples should have. It can be a great way for them to imagine the life they want together and to make sure that they are both on the same page when it comes to their goals.
It can also be a great tool when it comes to planning their future together. Shared bucket lists are often accomplished in tandem with ideas for family bucket lists, travel bucket lists, career bucket lists and so on.
Hotel Romance Ideas – Stargazing
Looking for a romantic escape? Why not try stargazing at a hotel? Many hotels have rooms with incredible views of the night sky. Stargazing can be a very intimate experience for couples. It’s the perfect way to reconnect with each other and appreciate the beauty of nature.
Romance ideas for her in a hotel – have flowers waiting
Call the hotel ahead of time and ask them to organise some flowers in the room or rose petals on the bed to set the tone of a romantic and exciting couple’s weekend away at a hotel. This will win you points for your hotel date ideas. Remember, it is the romantic gesture that counts.
Romantic things to do in a hotel room for him
Men are simple creatures, most men would say bring the lingerie that’s romantic enough. Men like to be surprised, make the effort, ladies. You could bring some sexy hotel games for couples, such as Spice it up or Drunk in Love
A night in a hotel spending quality time in another’s company will create a special night.
