Marriott Hotels: Just the two of us

If you’re looking for a little romance, why not head out of town for a short break at one of Marriott’s luxurious country hotels? Whether you’re celebrating a special anniversary, want to unwind with a few rounds of golf or need to indulge with some serious pampering, one of our romantic weekend breaks will be just the ticket.

Fall in love once more

There’s no getting away from it, these days we all seem to be working harder and longer. And that leaves less time for nurturing the special relationships in our lives. So, why not get out your planner right now and book one of our romantic weekend breaks and start to redress the balance a little? A spacious and serene luxury guest room with designer duvet, super-soft pillows and all the mod cons, fine dining with discrete and friendly service to boot and acres of countryside views to take in on strolls around the grounds are all just an hour or so away. Many of our properties offer special hotel deals at weekends too. Stay two nights and you can often get the third free or take advantage of an Escape package which includes sumptuous three-course dinner and chilled champagne on arrival. And once you’re arrived and started to unwind, why not enjoy a round of golf or a relaxing massage?

Ease that tension

What better to way to slow down and spend some quality two-time than to relax in one of our luxury spa resorts?

Or else try the stately elegance of Breadsall Priory on the doorstep of the lovely Peak District.

And don’t think for a moment all this pampering is just for her either – gentlemen’s manicures, pedicures, facials and energising massages are all on the menu too.

Pitch up… and chill out
