Not all couples want to spend a romantic weekend away simply gazing into each other’s eyes. If you’re looking for a break this February that will also spark excitement and conversation – and won’t break the bank – check out The Sandymount Hotel in Dublin’s Sweetheart Package.
Located in the heart of Sandymount, the recently renovated 4-star property is Dublin’s oldest independent family-run hotel. With a home away from home, yet stylish vibe, it is ideally located for couples seeking the best of both worlds — a peaceful retreat and easy access to Dublin’s best attractions. With a beach and The Aviva Stadium on its doorstep, and Dublin’s city centre just two DART stops (10 minutes) away, it’s the perfect destination for romance and adventure. Guests can also enjoy free onsite parking, including five complimentary EV charging points (one of only two hotels in Ireland offering this amenity).
The Sweetheart Package
The hotel has just launched a ‘sweetheart package’ for the month of February, which includes chocolates and chilled prosecco in your room on arrival, breakfast, accommodation in a newly refurbished room, and a romantic 3-course dinner for two in the hotel’s Line Out Bar, where every couple will be presented a rose and a complimentary Hugo for Her or a Manhattan for Him Valentine’s cocktail. This package will be available to book every weekend in February and is from €150 per person sharing or €300 per night. It’s the perfect gift!
As if this wasn’t romantic enough, the team at The Sandymount Hotel has curated a list of activities to complement your stay.
