Valentine's Day Hotels: Make It Last Longer at AKAs in New York

Weighing in with a very realistic approach to Valentine's Day is the AKA chain of extended-stay hotels. This V-Day deal is valid across their four Manhattan properties, which are located near Central Park, the United Nations, Times Square and at Sutton Place on East 56th.

The premise behind AKA's Valentine's Day package is that the special day falls on a Thursday this year, which is probably during the working week for many of their business guests. Their offer is for people who have booked a 5-day stay (probably the working week) and can then add two nights for free--which should be set aside for a romantic time with their other half. And to extend the realistic thinking, this deal doesn't have to be taken during Valentine's Day week--it is valid until March 31, 2008.

As with all V-Day packages, there are a few suggestions on extra activities that might be suitable for such a weekend. In-suite couple massages are available, and AKA concierges are apparently good at finding tickets for Broadway shows and tables at difficult-to-reserve restaurants. They also suggest that guest pairs could:

create some fireworks in the fully-equipped kitchen by whipping up their own aphrodisiac-laced, romantic candlelight dinner.

Cooking for yourselves on Valentine's Day? There's no better aphrodisiac than a meal cooked by somebody else.
