11 Hotel room proposal ideas that’ll leave your partner speechless!
Are you in your Pre-engagement stage and ready to take the next step in your relationship?
If so, here are some hotel room proposal ideas to consider for popping the question!
According to a study done by uk.match.com, couples tend to get engaged around 743 days (about two years).
Proposing to your partner is a huge step. Not only is it a significant milestone in your relationship, but it’s a decision that can change the course of your life.
When planning your engagement proposal, you want to make sure everything goes well without a hitch.
One way you can simplify things is by booking a hotel room for your proposal.
There are many engagement proposal locations to consider. But one of the best places to propose to your partner is a hotel. Why? Because hotels are everywhere.
Hotels are accessible. If you want to save money, hotels are the perfect alternative.
Location and time of year
Another money-saving tip to consider is the time of year for your engagement proposal.
Hotel rates are usually cheaper during off-season times of the year. So if you have your heart set on staying at a pricey hotel, book it during off-peak times.
One reason why you should book a hotel room is that hotels are accommodating.
Hotel customer service reps can provide you with suggestions on how to make the best of your stay.
By giving them a heads-up about your hotel room engagement proposal, they will try to assist you.
Once you propose, you can continue to celebrate the rest of the night together without having to go out again.
Everything you need to pull off a successful engagement proposal is all at one location. No extra traveling is necessary!
You may ask, How do I get my partner to the hotel room without them knowing about your proposal?
You can do this by telling them that you want to spend some quality time with them by doing a hotel staycation.
Many couples jump at the opportunity to get away for a day or two, especially if they have kids. So, try not to worry.
Your partner won’t suspect a thing.
Be sure to tell your partner that you guys are going on a romantic staycation so that they have some idea of what to pack.
Engagement proposals can be hard to plan. With some creativity, your hotel room proposal will be nothing less than flawless.
If you prefer to hire a proposal planner, they will work with the hotel. The proposal make sure your engagement proposal comes together.
Are you up for the challenge of planning your engagement proposal? If so, here are some hotel room proposal ideas that are sure to leave your partner speechless!
Proposal ideas in hotel room
1. Count on man’s best friend
Book a Pet-friendly hotel for your hotel room engagement. Hotel chains like IHG have properties that accommodate guests with pets.
Tie the ring box or hang a note from your dog with instructions on how to get the engagement ring.
Next, have your fur baby bring the ring to your partner. Or you can have your furry friend hang a sign that says, say yes.
Nothing beats having a little bit of encouragement from a man’s best friend to seal the deal. Is there?
2. Hotel room scavenger hunt
Once you check into your hotel room, hide the ring in a nightstand drawer or underneath your hotel pillow.
Make sure your partner is in a different part of the hotel room so it can be a surprise!
Next, leave clues all over your hotel room that lead to the ring box.
To pull your hotel room scavenger hunt off, you can use riddles or play a version of the hot and cold game.
If you use riddles, make sure you look familiar with the hotel room layout. You can check out pictures of your hotel room before going.
Also, if you find it hard to think of any riddles to use, you can find them online.
If you prefer the hot and cold scavenger hunt game, all you have to do is hide the ring. Then, let your partner know you have a special surprise for them hidden in the hotel room.
When your partner gets closer to finding the engagement ring,
you can say things like your getting warmer or your ice-cold.
Or you can leave a trail of rose petals or ribbon with a note attached leading up to where you are standing.
3. Balcony views
Propose to your partner while overlooking scenic views. You can book a hotel that has views of the ocean, mountainside, or city skyline.
Make sure you book a hotel room or suite with a balcony to give your partner the perfect proposal!
4. Order room service
Ask the chef if they can spell the word marry me with chocolate or caramel syrup on your partner’s dessert plate.
Once the dessert arrives, place the engagement ring inside the dessert. Make sure you leave some part of the ring showing before giving it to your partner.
Now, that’s what you call a happy ending after eating a delicious meal!
5. Couples in love photoshoot
Hire a photographer to take couples on a love shoot. Then pop the question during your photo session on the grounds of the hotel.
After the photoshoot, frame some of the photos of the moment you asked your partner to marry you. They are great keepsakes!
Most pre-engagement photoshoots can cost anywhere from $300-$900.
For some people, this can be a lot of money. Take into account the price of your hotel cost, food, and entertainment during your stay.
To save some money, hire a 2nd photography shooter or an amateur shooter who is first starting. Your pictures will still have professional quality but without the hefty price tag.
6. Special delivery
Send your partner a beautiful engagement bouquet to ask them if they will spend the rest of their life with you.
When you order your flowers, include a message that tells your partner where to look. Ex. Look inside the hotel nightstand.
7. Singing telegram
Book a singing telegram performer to visit your hotel room. If possible, ask the hotel if they can have your telegram singer perform at an on-site restaurant.
Prefer not to hire a singing telegram performer? If so, consider hiring a local singer to sing a romantic song before you pop the question.
You can visit websites like Thebash.com to find professional singers in your area.
It will be a unique engagement proposal experience your partner will never forget!
8. Serve up bubbly
You don’t have to go out to dinner to pull off the ultimate marriage proposal experience.
You can enjoy a nice bottle of champagne instead.
As you pour your champagne, put the engagement ring inside their glass and pass it to them. Make sure you go down on one knee to seal the deal.
If you don’t feel like packing your champagne bottle for your hotel stay? Have champagne in your room upon arrival. Most hotels offer guests romance packages or add-on services. You can book this service during the booking process.
If a romantic package is not available at your hotel, than contact the hotel. Let them know you would like to propose to your partner during your stay.
Most hotels are happy to help you with your engagement proposal. Hotel reps will accommodate you in the best way they can.
9. Book a room with a jacuzzi or hot tub
After you and your sweetie finish relaxing in the hot tub, place the ring box in their bathrobe or fuzzy slipper.
It’s a simple but effective way to pull off a surprise proposal for your significant other!
10. Decorate your hotel room
This hotel room proposal idea never gets old. After you check into the hotel, find a way to lure your partner away from the room.
To make this idea more unique, incorporate their favorite colors.
Ditch the traditional red, white, and pink color schemes. Only use them if your partner likes those colors.
They will love how you gave them a hotel room makeover that fits their style.
If going on a hotel staycation is a cover for your engagement proposal, ask family and loved ones to help you decorate.
They should be able to do this since you booked your hotel in the local area. It’s a great idea if they want to see you propose to your partner too!
11. Spell it out
Spell out the words marry me with rose petals on the hotel bed. Be sure to use fake ones so that the petals will not ruin the bedding. Bring a few flameless tea light candles and dim the lights to set the mood.
Another option is to buy mylar balloons and spell out the words “marry me”
.
If you prefer an outdoor proposal, consider proposing at a location on a hotel or resort property.
Some hotel resorts are on private beaches and allow guests to book a hotel room with direct access to them.
If you plan on proposing on a private beach, you could write marry me in the sand.
Your sweetie will be so surprised that it will make it hard for them not to say yes!
Now that you have hotel room proposal ideas, it’s time to ask that life-changing question.
Once you do, remember to celebrate!
Celebrating milestones in life is a must. Your engagement proposal is one of those moments to commemorate. Especially if your significant other says yes!
