When planning a romantic excursion with someone you love, hotels offer privacy and luxury. Whether it's a special occasion or just a weekend getaway, you want every aspect of your stay to be perfect. Here are a few tips for amplifying the romantic atmosphere in your room. 

How to Ensure Romance When Staying at a Hotel

1. Decorate the Room

Fresh flowers are ideal for creating the right atmosphere. Not only do they look beautiful, but they also fill the space with a fresh, appealing scent. Along with placing a few bouquets around, you can also scatter a few petals on the bed. Candles are another great addition, but be sure never to leave them unattended when lit. Consider using flameless candles instead, which use a small LED bulb instead of a wick. 

2. Order Room Service

One of the best parts of staying at a hotel is the room service. By having food brought directly to you, you won't have to break up your romantic festivities to visit a local restaurant or cafe. You can even order a bottle of wine or champagne for a real celebration.

3. Play Mood Music

Massive libraries of romantic music of every genre are available from your smartphone. When played through a portable Bluetooth speaker, you can create a loving atmosphere just about anywhere. Start compiling a playlist before your trip, including music you and your partner love, as well as music that reminds you of them. Think about songs that were popular when you first met. Don't forget to add "your" song, such as the one you danced to at your wedding.

Choosing the right hotel will also help you set the right mood. In Carlsbad, NM, Stevens Inn features over 200 spacious, beautifully decorated rooms.
